Hamas, Islamic Jihad Urge PLO to Withdraw Recognition of Israel
News - Middle East: The Palestinian resistance movements of Hamas and Islamic Jihad have called on the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to withdraw its recognition of Israel.
The appeal was made during a meeting with Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas political bureau, in the Qatari capital Doha on Thursday.
Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhaleh also led the Islamic Jihad delegation.
“The leaderships viewed that, in light of the Knesset's declared position rejecting the Palestinian people's right to establish their independent state, the national collective is required today to take a unified stance to confront these attempts to erase the Palestinian cause,” they said in a joint statement.
The Israeli parliament on Wednesday passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state. The vote came before Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the US to address a joint session of Congress and meet with President Joe Biden.
Biden has supported the so-called two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
