Fatah’s Secretary in Jenin, Ata Abu Rumeileh, praised Palestinian terrorist Diaa Hamarsheh, who murdered five Israelis last week in a shooting spree in Bnei Brak.
According to a report by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Rumeileh said that Hamarsheh had been “one of the leaders of Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades” and that the Zionists he killed were in revenge for “our pure martyrs.”
He made the comments in a March 30 interview that aired on Alghad TV in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
“We say to this occupation: You cannot break our people’s determination. Our people’s determination draws from our belief in Allah,” he said.
“This resistance will continue. Our confrontation today with the occupation. ... There is no peace and no negotiations. The only language between us and this criminal occupation is the language of resistance,” he added, according to MEMRI.
