Such an important position requires consultations between leaders in the (Palestinian) territories, in prisons and in exile. Nothing official has been reached so far, and when a decision is made, it will be published.
The great Palestinian people should not be punished for choosing their leadership in free and democratic elections. Those who believe that economic pressures will force our government into submission are wrong.
That is not correct. Where did you hear that?
These weapons liberated the land and by these weapons, we will continue the liberation process.
The continued escalation aims to shed more Palestinian blood, confuse the situation and hamper ... the formation of the Palestinian government.
The Israelis are trying to starve innocent people by taking money from our taxes, and we are going to fight this by all legal means. This collective punishment will not break the determination of the Palestinian people.
It will be based on it, but we are looking for the biggest points of agreement with our brothers in the (other) factions.
The U.S. administration and European countries should put pressure ... on the occupier and not the occupied and displaced Palestinian people.
There is nothing defined, but all that we have heard from the Arab and Islamic states, officially and from the public, is reassuring.
We will prove to the people that we are able to rebuild our homeland.
We will protect the right of our people to defend themselves against the occupation.
We seek to assure investors on the Palestinian bourse that we regard it as one of the fundamental bases of the Palestinian national economy. We will afford all the guarantees necessary to protect their investment.
We were elected on a different political agenda.
We've handled challenges in the past and we will be able to stand up to future challenges as well.
