Rajoub’s statements about the al-Buraq Wall represent only himself

Brussels-Europe

The Union of Palestinian Communities and Organizations in Europe condemns the statements made by Mr. Jibril Rajoub, specifically the irresponsible positions and statements to Israeli Channel 2 broadcast on Saturday, 3 June. Mr. Rajoub claims that “the al-Buraq Wall is a sacred site for Jews and will remain under Israeli sovereignty,” in his words.

The statements of Mr. Jibril Rajoub come precisely in line with the positions of the leaders of the racist Zionist entity. They also come directly before the 50th anniversary of the aggression and expansion of occupation of 1967. Such positions reflect nothing except those who declare them. They contradict the established, known historical facts and deny the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people and their rights to the whole of occupied Jerusalem, the united and eternal capital of the Palestinian people.

The positions of Mr. Jibril Rajoub are an insult to the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic nation. They radically contradict the Palestinian collective consciousness and do not represent any legitimate Palestinian political entity. The recurrence of such disgraceful statements and the disregard for the Palestinian people requires the national and Islamic forces to assume their responsibility, reject and condemn such positions and hold their promulgator accountable.
