The Palestinian ambassador to Tehran has underlined his countrymen’s enthusiasm for the materialization of the instructions given by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei to arm the West Bank meant to intensify fight against Israel.Mahmoud Abbas has said multiple times (in English) that he is not interested in an armed uprising and only wants "popular resistance" (which seems to include rocks thrown at car windshields, firebombs and small incendiary rockets.)
“I would like to stress that the remarks of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution need to be materialized,” Ambassador Salah al-Zawawi said on Tuesday, the Fars news agency reported.
He said all Palestinians wish their land be equipped with weapons in a bid to be able to free the occupied territories from the hands of the Zionist regime, underlining that “arming the West Bank is of high priority”.
Zawawi said the Zionist regime is well aware that the countdown has started for its extinction. “The Zionist regime is an aggressor and a cancerous tumor which should be annihilated sooner or later.”
So either Abbas will sack al-Zawawi for insubordination, or he will continue to allow his diplomats to say what the real positions of the "state of Palestine" are while he continues to fool the Western world with his pretenses of non-violence.
Given that this is not the first time.that Zawawi has said words that seem at odds with Abbas' positions, that proves which of the two options Abbas has chosen.
