Elder of Ziyon
The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization mourns to the sons of our Palestinian people and all national action factions the martyrdom of the great national leader Yahya Sinwar, head of the political bureau of Hamas .The Executive Committee extends its deepest condolences to the brothers in the Hamas leadership and cadres and to the family of the martyr Yahya Sinwar, calling for moving forward to strengthen our national unity within the framework of our sole legitimate representative, the Palestine Liberation Organization, so that we may be one front to thwart the Israeli plan aimed at displacing our people from their homeland, whether in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank...
The Executive Committee has 16 members. Its chairman is none other than Mahmoud Abbas.
The statement pretends that Sinwar, the architect of October 7 massacre, was merely the head of the "political bureau" of Hamas.
The official Palestinian Wafa news agency published this statement - but only in its Arabic site, not its English site.
The PLO website also published the statement of the minor Arab Liberation Front, which has not done anything of note for decades and does not even have a current webpage, to add to its mourning for Sinwar. The only possible reason to publish this statement from the ALF is if the PLO agrees with it.
With great sadness and pain, the Arab Liberation Front mourns the great national martyr Yahya Sinwar, head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, who ascended to glory as a martyr following an armed clash with the Zionist occupation soldiers in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood in the city of Rafah on the afternoon of Thursday, October 17, 2024. The Front, led by its Secretary-General Rakad Salem Abu Mahmoud, offered its condolences and sympathy to the brothers in the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, to the family of the martyr, and to all the sons of our steadfast people.The Arab Liberation Front confirmed that the martyrdom of the leader Yahya Sinwar and before him the martyr leaders Yasser Arafat, Abu Ali Mustafa, Ahmed Yassin, Khalil Al-Wazir and other martyred leaders of the revolution will only increase the strength and steadfastness of our people in confronting this arrogant Zionist enemy.
The PLO, and Abbas, support Hamas. They might disagree with Hamas as to who should control the Palestinians politically but they far prefer Hamas to peace.
The proof is in every Fatah, PLO and Palestinian Authority statement. And every time a Western leader says "two state solution." they are insisting that this Hamas-supporting Palestinian leadership control a Palestinian state that Israel is supposed to welcome - for its own security.
