Palestine Is Neither For Sale, Nor Bargaining Chip: Palestinian Presidency

Ramallah: The Palestinian Presidency stressed Thursday that Palestine, with its territories, history and holy sites, is not for sale, and it is not an investment project, asserting that the rights of the Palestinian people are not negotiable and are not a bargaining chip.

Official spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said that Palestinian people, who have made great sacrifices in defense of their legitimate national rights and in order to preserve their independent national decision and sole legitimate representative, will not give up an inch of their land, whether in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Palestine.

He stressed that the Palestinian people and their leadership will not allow the repetition of the 1948 and 1967 Nakba and will thwart any plan aimed at liquidating their just cause through investment projects whose place is neither in Palestine nor on its land.

Abu Rudeineh pointed out that the Arab and international response to the US administration's plans to displace the Palestinians proved that the entire world speaks one language stemming from international legitimacy and international law, while the US administration alone speaks a different language, and there are American voices, members of Congress, and Israeli voices that consider this project unworkable.

He reiterated that achieving peace, security, and stability stems from Palestine, specifically from its capital, Jerusalem, with its Islamic and Christian sanctities, and not from anywhere else, nor by any decision from anyone.

The US President Donald Trump had previously called for displacing the residents of the Gaza Strip from their lands, but his call received significant opposition from the international community.
