There are divisions in the ranks of the Palestinian jihadi groups that aim to obliterate Israel “from the River to the Sea.” This spells good news for Israel.
As Palestinians, and more broadly, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, seek to unite the ummah behind their cause and lead it to stand up for the Palestinian “resistance,” the world largely remains blind as to what the Palestinian “resistance” is really about.
“As Palestinian factions seek reconciliation in Cairo, Islamic Jihad to boycott talks,” by Gianluca Passhiani, Times of Israel, July 23, 2023:
Ziyad al-Nakhala, Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, announced on Sunday that the movement will boycott a meeting of Palestinian factions scheduled to take place in Cairo on July 30.
Al-Nakhala said in a statement that the boycott is motivated by the arrest of a number of PIJ members by the Palestinian Authority. “We will not go to the meeting as long as our mujahideen brothers are detained in the prisons of the Palestinian Authority,” he said.
The meeting of the general secretaries was announced on July 3 by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, in response to the latest Israeli operation in Jenin, and it is scheduled to include 14 Palestinian factions, most notably Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular and Democratic Fronts for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Palestinian People’s Party, according to a report in al-Quds news.
For its part, Hamas responded positively to Abbas’s invitation. During a public meeting held in Gaza on Sunday, Khalil al-Hayya, a prominent member of the Hamas political bureau, said that the group intends to take part in the Cairo talks and will do “everything it can for the success of the meeting.” The talks will explore the possibility of forming a new Palestinian National Council through elections, or to find an agreement for the formation of a transitional national council and a joint government with Fatah.
The stated goal of the upcoming round of Cairo talks between Palestinian factions, like numerous previous failed iterations, is to find reconciliation and end the internal rifts that have plagued the Palestinian leadership since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in 2007. There are however doubts as to the efficacy of the talks, and concerns that they will only deepen the disagreements and divisions among different Palestinian groups and exacerbate popular discontent and loss of confidence…….
