Majdalani: Israeli statements calling for annexing West Bank, imposing sovereignty represent dangerous escalation, challenge to international community
Ramallah - Saba: Ahmed Majdalani, a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Secretary-General of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF), considered the statements issued by the fascist Israeli occupation government regarding the annexation of the West Bank, the imposition of sovereignty, and the application of law therein to be a dangerous escalation and inconsistent with international legitimacy resolutions and international law. During a meeting of members of the PFLP's Central Committee, Majdalani said that the occupation government is working seriously and within clear decisions to implement this decision. All of the occupation's measures in the West Bank have effectively become de facto annexation measures, including colonization, the installation of iron gates, and the dismemberment of cities and villages in the West Bank.

Abbas to discuss weapons in Lebanon's Palestinian camps during Beirut visit
by Naharnet Newsdesk 21 May 2025, 12:22 A member of Mahmoud Abbas' delegation to Beirut told AFP that the Palestinian president will discuss the issue of weapons in Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps during his three-day visit to the country. "The issue of Palestinian weapons in the camps will be one of the topics on the agenda for discussion between President Abbas, the Lebanese President and the Lebanese government," said Ahmad Majdalani, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee accompanying Abbas during the visit, which begins Wednesday. The visit comes after President Joseph Aoun said late last month that authorities were working to "withdraw (unauthorized) heavy and medium weapons from all Lebanese territory," and that he would raise disarmament of the camps with Abbas. A Lebanese government official, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to brief the media, said earlier this month that Abbas and Lebanese leaders would discuss "extending state authority to all Lebanese territory, including the Palestinian camps." Majdalani said "what matters to us in this new regional context is that we do not become part of Lebanon's internal conflicts, and that the Palestinian cause is not exploited to serve any party." By long-standing convention, Lebanon's army stays out of the Palestinian camps -- where Abbas' Fatah movement, militant group Hamas and other armed groups are present -- and leaves the factions to handle security. Hamas has claimed attacks on Israel from Lebanon during more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the Palestinian group's Lebanese ally Hezbollah that erupted over the Gaza war. According to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, 500,000 Palestinians are registered as refugees in Lebanon, most of them descendants of those who fled or were expelled from their land during the creation of Israel in 1948. Due to their refugee status, most are unable to work legally in Lebanon, an issue Majdalani said Abbas would also address during the meeting.

PLO Official Dr. Ahmad Majdalani: Hamas Dragged the Palestinians into a New Nakba; This Is No Victory; One More Such 'Victory' And No Palestinians Will Be Left There
Dr. Ahmad Majdalani, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, said in a February 14, 2025, address aired on Palestine TV that the Oslo Accords were not a 'catastrophe.' In fact, he claimed that 1.8 million Palestinian refugees returned through the agreement. He stated that, in contrast, the ceasefire deal signed by Hamas 'is no victory,' and that it has led to 200 Palestinians leaving every day. Majdalani said that the 'Nakba of Gaza is worse than the Nakba of 1948.' He emphasized Hamas's connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. Majdalani rejected claims that the PLO is 'asleep' or standing idly by, pointing to his own experience as a fighter who took up arms at 16. He also stated that the PLO was formed by Palestinian factions and has never waged war as a proxy for anyone.
