Zahar: The Palestinian fundamentals do not change

06/06/2012


GAZA, (PIC)-- Dr. Mahmud Zahar, a leader in the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas", stressed on the Palestinian people's inalienable right to their land that cannot be waived, stating that all the Arabs and Muslims around the world have also right to Palestine and that they must stand alongside the Palestinians in order to recover it.

Zahar said, in a speech he delivered on Wednesday during a political forum organized by the Ministry of Women's Affairs under the title "The Woman and the Palestinian fundamentals" and in the presence of the Minister of Women Jamila Shanti and a number of Palestinian women, that the Palestinian fundamentals do not change even with the changing time and place, and that Palestine is the same before and after 1967.

Zahar stressed that the issue of the return to Palestine is not a political one, thus Palestinians will not give it up. He also noted that the closure of the return to Palestine's file during Camp David's negotiations encouraged the Zionist side to ask for more serious concessions on Jerusalem which caused the end of negotiations.

For her part; Jamila Shanti the Minister of Women's Affairs confirmed that the ministry has taken upon itself the responsibility of raising the Palestinian women's awareness about their just cause.

Shanti added that her Ministry "welcomes all political and legal efforts aiming at explaining to us our political reality and our Palestinian constants”, stressing on the Palestinian women's great role in preserving the constants of Palestine since the Nakba and till today.
