Jibril Rajoub, secretary general of Fatah’s Central Committee, justifies the October 7 massacre by Hamas as an act “in the context of the defensive war our people are waging.”

In a speech he delivers in a meeting with journalists in Kuwait, Rajoub also says that Israel is responsible for causing October 7, due to its “aggression on all the Palestinian lands.”

    I thought Fatah and Hamas were against each other? Fatah certainly lost the vote in Gaza against them. This sounds like some sort of political rewriting of history.

        I am also quite surprised that Fatah supports the party which some years ago tied Fatah members to cars and dragged them across streets.

        All the ones in Gaza maybe? The West Bank wasn’t under their control. I dunno though.

            Yeah my reading of this was that the Fatah in the West Bank are now saying “We supported Hamas all along!”
