Press Release
Abbas's Speech and the Decisions of the Palestinian Central Council
Rumination over Positions that Lost Palestine, its People, its Sanctities and Installed the Jewish Entity
(Translated)

The Palestinian Central Council concluded its meeting on Monday, 15/1/2018, and its final statement called for commitment to the two-state solution on the basis of international law and the Arab peace initiative without any changes to establish a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders and its capital is East Jerusalem, and to engage in any serious peaceful negotiations with an international sponsorship. It recommended the suspension of the recognition of the Jewish entity through the PLO, and the suspension of the security coordination, and to cut off economic dependence with the occupation, considering that the transitional period set by Oslo is over.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir in Palestine denounce what was stated in the speech of the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and these resolutions which emphasized that the PA and its institutions are still adhering to the treacherous approach that has lost Palestine, its people, and its sanctities. It placed the future of the Palestinian cause hostage to the great powers that are hostile to our Ummah and the people of Palestine. These are the powers that established the Jewish entity and supported it with money, weapons and the unjust international resolutions. At the same time the PA completely abandoned the call for the liberation of Palestine and calling the Ummah and its armies to do so, we emphasize the following:

It is clear that the PA resolutions have moved away from the anti-American rhetoric after America slapped the PA with its resolutions on the subject of Jerusalem and the deal of the century. The resolutions fell subject to the mood and the desire of the European countries, which made the authority retreat from burying Oslo and from refusing to recognize the Jewish entity, and only announced the end of the transitional period set by Oslo and recommended that the organization suspend the recognition.

The resolutions adhered to the peace resolutions, negotiations and conferences that have been sponsored by countries that are hostile to Islam, the Muslims and the people of Palestine. And despite the fact that the peace process and the treacherous agreements have led to disasters and crimes against Palestine and its people, it made most of Palestine, including West Jerusalem, belong to the Jews entirely, while the rest (land) is negotiated. And it has made the PA and its security apparatus a protector of the Jewish entity; a protector that carried the security, financial, economic and political burdens of the occupation and made it the cheapest occupation in history, with the recognition of the leaders of the PA themselves, while the people of Palestine pay the price with their blood and their children’s livelihood through daily increasing taxes.

The adherence to the two-state solution is a betrayal of Allah, His Messenger, the believers and the people of Palestine and their blood and sacrifices. This solution rewards the occupation with a strong state on 80% of the land of Palestine, with the largest part of Jerusalem, and leaves the PA, at the very maximum and according to its demands, a small state on 20% of Palestine including what they call “East Jerusalem”; unquestionably, evil is what they decide!

The PA, its institutions, the Central Council, the PLO and its factions have abandoned the concept of liberation (of Palestine) completely and eliminated it from its dictionary and vocabulary. It ruled out the only way to achieve liberation; that is, mobilizing the armies of the Ummah and directing all its energies and capabilities to fight a decisive battle that destroys the Jewish entity from its roots. Rather it replaced this with the request for international protection from the wolves of the criminal countries; thus, adding an international occupation in addition to the Jewish occupation of Palestine. Unquestionably, evil is what they decide!

We affirm to the Palestinian Authority, America, Europe and the Jewish entity that the blood Ummah of Islam is boiling in its veins. It is getting closer day by day to eradicate the rulers whom you depend on, and on their subordination, and their loyalty to you. The Ummah will soon topple them with Allah's permission and establish a Khilafah Rashida (righteous Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood; it will root out their existence, liberate the whole of Palestine, and every single Muslim nation under occupation, and it will repel America and Western countries to their abodes and punish all the conniving traitors. Tomorrow is near for those yearning for it.

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا]

“Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.” [At-Talaq: 3]
