NAZARETH, (PIC)-- The Islamic Movement in the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands has asserted Thursday that the Israeli Knesset (parliament) was part of the Zionist project, urging the Palestinian people to rethink participating in the upcoming Israeli elections.
In a statement it issued in this regard, and a copy of which was obtained by the PIC, the Movement explained that the Israeli Knesset didn’t bring justice to the Palestinian people, and that it was instead working against the presence of the Palestinian people on their homeland.
"The Israeli institution considers our presence on our homeland as temporary, and that it was waiting the proper time to transfer us according to its plans, and thus, our existence in our homeland would depend on how much we adhere to this land and remain insistent on our legal rights", the Movement underlined.
In this regard, the Movement called on the Palestinian people to directly elect the follow-up committee away from the Knesset interference.
Moreover, the Movement, which is headed by the prominent Palestinian leader Raed Salah, stressed that the Arab presence in the Israeli Knesset was badly exploited by the Zionist institution with the aim to beautify itself, and to cover for the Israeli brutal measures against the Palestinian people and the Arab and Muslim world.
Hence, the Movement pointed out, "we call on every Palestinian citizen in the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands to take those facts into consideration before participating in the Israeli elections".
The Movement made it clear that it would remain firm and steadfast on the legal rights of the Palestinian people allover Palestine till the independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.
