PA official uses non-recognition terminology: "The 1948 Interior" and "the 1948 Interior occupation"

“Jenin District Governor, Talal Dweikat, welcomed Muhammad Nafa’h, Secretary General of the Arab Communist Party in Israel to discuss cooperation and coordination with our people in the 1948 Interior (i.e., Israel). The Governor praised the resolute stand of our people in the 1948 Interior occupation, and said: ‘You are the beating heart of the Palestinian nation, and differences of opinion among you Interior Palestinian leaders are not important; you will always be the beating heart of the Palestinian nation.’ He added that the most important goal is maintaining an Arab presence in Palestine, in view of an occupation that strives to wipe out the Palestinians, to erase any Arab presence in the [area of] the Interior occupation, and Judaize Palestinian lands."
