In response to Israeli statements calling for bestowing the task of administering Gaza onto international forces, the official spokesman for the presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said: “There is no legitimacy for any foreign presence on the Palestinian Territory, and only the Palestinian people can decide who governs them and manages their affairs.”
He affirmed the illegitimacy of colonies and the displacement policy that the occupation authorities were trying to implement on the ground through bloody massacres.
“The occupation government and its president would be delusional if they thought they could decide the fate of the Palestinian people and consolidate the occupation by recruiting foreign forces to replace the occupier in the Gaza Strip.”
He continued: “We will not accept or allow the presence of a foreigner on our land, whether in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip,” adding that the PLO; the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, has the legal jurisdiction over the entire territory of the State of Palestine.
The presidential spokesperson stressed that the colonial expansion led by Israel’s far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, in the West Bank territories, including occupied Jerusalem, is illegal and is part of the all-out war waged against the Palestinian people, their land and holy sites.
He stressed that “the conspiracy to displace our people is absolutely rejected and we will not allow it at any cost.”
The official spokesman of the presidency stressed that: “The Palestinian issue is one of land and statehood, not a matter of humanitarian aid. It is a sacred cause and the central issue for the Arabs.”
