Fatah and the Saudi crown prince peace initiative with Israel
Palestine-Saudi Arabia, Politics, 2/23/2002

The central committee of the Palestinian national liberation movement Fatah has warned against the grave consequences implied in the initiative of the Saudi crown prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz concerning finding a settlement for the Arab- Israeli conflict.

In a statement, the movement said that this initiative and other settlement initiatives with Israel are but a new stab against the struggle of the Palestinian people and their uprising and legitimate rights.

The statements stressed that nobody have the right to bargain and give up the lands and the rights. It questioned saying: "Did Saudi Arabia give up its demands to border areas under disputes with brotherly Arab states, so as it permits itself to propose initiatives that give up the territories occupied since 1948 and serve Zionist and American schemes and conspiracies at a time when Palestinian Intifada and resistance are increasing and the 'enemy' suffers a deep strategic crisis."

The statement indicated that the Saudi initiative drops and ignores the right of return for more than five million Palestinian refugees who were expelled from their territories. It called not to divert the risks of the American campaigns against certain Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, at the expense of the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights.
