We’ll use “resistance in all its forms” against Israel, “the enemy” – says PA top official

Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: "If this occupation causes escalation, I believe that we will decide to start a confrontation… I also say that international legitimacy permits us resistance in all its forms, and nothing is forbidden… Our resistance in the occupied lands is against all the occupation’s symbols. Whether it is the settlers, their farms, their army, or all their brats and the like.
PA TV host: The coming battle will be against the settlers?
Jibril Rajoub: No, no, no! All of the occupation’s symbols in everything… National rebellion means that we’ll all go out into the streets and we’ll consider it [Israel] our enemy, and we’ll treat it as an enemy."
