PFLP: Egypt and Palestine Discuss Reconstruction and the Way Forward

الفصائل.jpgToday  the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine called on the Arab Republic of Egypt to play its pivotal and central role in ending the occupation and to continue its efforts to stop the attacks in Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, settlements, discrimination and ethnic cleansing in the 48 lands, calling for continuing its efforts to arrange the Palestinian home, as one of the most important achievements field that has been achieved, pointing out that this requires an urgent call for a comprehensive national dialogue that leads to ending division, restoring national unity, and implementing what was agreed upon nationally.

During the meeting that brought together the Palestinian factions with an Egyptian intelligence delegation that visited the Gaza Strip, Jamil Mazhar, member of the Front’s Political Bureau responsible for its branch in Gaza said: “The choice of our people, which they expressed in all fields throughout occupied Palestine, is to perpetuate the clash. With the occupation on all fronts, and this requires the completion of practical steps to reach the formation of the unified national leadership, and not to wait or be dependent on any calculations that could harm the higher national interest or affect our liberation struggle.”

He explained that “unity and its nature, conditions and political references, were determined by the uprising of our people throughout the country, and it is clear and explicit and is not subject to the requirements of the Quartet Committee or unjust agreements, but to the requirements, will and constants of our people.”

Mezher stressed the need to expedite the survey of the effects of the aggression and speed up reconstruction and alleviate the suffering of our people, pointing out that this requires the formation of a supreme national committee for reconstruction, with the participation of all sectors of our people and the relevant ministries, whose mission is reconstruction without discrimination on the basis of partnership and rejection of blackmail from the enemy and international society, and not to return to the mechanisms of Robert Serry, which constrained and impeded the reconstruction process.

He called on Egypt to continue its commendable efforts in order to alleviate the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip, noting that this requires contributions to lifting the siege imposed by the occupation, and to continue opening the Rafah crossing, facilitating access, exit and movement back and forth.

Mezher welcomed the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence and the dear brothers in the intelligence service, expressing their appreciation and thanks for their efforts to end the suffering of our people.

The following is the text of the speech of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine during the meeting of the factions with the Egyptian delegation:

Dear Brother/ His Excellency Minister Abbas Kamel, Minister of Egyptian Intelligence

Dear brothers in the Egyptian intelligence service,

Brothers and comrades, leaders of the national and Islamic action factions

Greetings Palestine,

I convey to you the greetings of our comrade Secretary-General, the captive leader Ahmed Saadat, and the comrades in the Political Bureau, and their appreciation for the role played by the sister Egypt in curbing the aggression and placing the international community in front of its responsibilities towards a people under occupation, based on the pivotal role and the historical relationship that links Egypt with the Palestinian cause.

We highly appreciate the original Egyptian stance rooted in a historical relationship that was mixed with blood and sacrifices throughout the history of our two peoples, which the Egyptian people expressed with their parties, unions, political forces and leadership by rejecting aggression, and supporting our people in confronting it. We express our solidarity with sister Egypt in facing the challenges that the enemies of the nation create to plunge Egypt into water and border security crises at the expense of its position and that which the Arab peoples aspire to, restoring its historical and national role.

Mr. Minister,

Dear Brothers,

This requires an urgent call for a comprehensive national dialogue that leads to ending division, restoring national unity, and implementing what has been agreed upon nationally.

Second: The choice of our people, which was expressed in all fields throughout occupied Palestine, is to perpetuate the clash with the occupation on all fronts, and this requires the completion of practical steps to reach the formation of the unified national leadership, and not to wait or be dependent on any calculations that could harm the national interest Or undermine our struggle for liberation.

Third: Unity, conditions and political reference were determined by the uprising of our people throughout the country, and it is clear and explicit and not subject to the requirements of the Quartet Committee or unjust agreements, but to the requirements, will and constants of our people.

Fourth: We stress the need to expedite the survey of the effects of the aggression and speed up reconstruction and alleviate the suffering of our people, and this requires the formation of a supreme national committee for reconstruction with the participation of all sectors of our people and the relevant ministries, whose mission is reconstruction without discrimination and on the basis of partnership and rejection of blackmail from the enemy and the international community, and not to return to the mechanisms of Robert Serry, which constrained and impeded the reconstruction process.

Fifth: Finally, we call on sister Egypt to continue its commendable efforts in order to alleviate the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip, and this requires contributions to lifting the siege imposed on us by the occupation, and to continue opening the Rafah crossing and facilitating access and exit mechanisms and movement on the road to the Rafah crossing.

We welcome once again the brother minister and dear brothers in the Egyptian intelligence service, and we appreciate and thank them for their efforts to end the suffering of our people.
