Official PA TV, hosting Fatah Deputy Chairman and Fatah Central Committee member Mahmoud Al-Aloul

Fatah Deputy Chairman and Fatah Central Committee member Mahmoud Al-Aloul: “Tonight everyone is on alert. We have already announced and asked that our people and also the Fatah Movement members be on alert. It is not at all possible to show patience. It is impossible to wait at a time when we are seeing these attacks (apparently refers to terrorist murderers Saleh Barghouti and Ashraf Na’alwa being killed when resisting arrest, and terrorist Majdi Mteir being killed while committing a terror attack; see notes below –Ed.), that which was, that which the settlers and their herds are doing against members of our people. We have demanded alertness from everyone, for a basic reason – which everyone needs to know: This is our mission… There is no option other than us remaining alert for the quiet of our residents and the protection of our residents. There is no option other than us resisting and blocking these settlers and their wild behavior. It is impossible – regardless of what happens and what the results may be – it is impossible to be silent, to act patiently, and to watch what is happening. There is no choice but action, confrontation, and resistance to the violations of the Israeli army and these settlers.”
