The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP renewed its call on the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee to hold the Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman, Mahmoud Abbas, accountable for his ongoing dishonesty with the Palestinian people and their struggle. 

Commenting on the new statements by Abbas to the German newspaper Der Spiegel, the PFLP said Abbas’s statements and boasts of his policies of security coordination are a provocation against the Palestinian people and run contrary to the Palestinian popular opinion, which is now more convinced than ever of the failure of the PA and the futility of its approach. 

In particular, the PFLP denounced Abbas’s condemnation of the Palestinian resistance and his boasting about security coordination with the Israeli occupation authorities.

The statement further slammed Abbas for admitting that the PA troops arrested three Palestinian youths who planned to carry out an anti-occupation attack. PFLP said such statements, which come while Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people have been on the rise, particularly in Occupied Jerusalem, represent neither the Palestinian people nor the national liberation movement.

According to the PFLP, Abbas’s statements represent a blatant attack on the decision of the Palestinian Central Council which upheld Palestinians’ right to resist, end the Oslo agreement, and stop security coordination with Israel.

“Instead of these offensive remarks, Abbas must have protested against Germany’s pro-Israel policy and delivery of free nuclear submarines,” the statement concluded.
