Jibril: Israel failed to achieve its objective of eliminating resistance

[ 10/01/2009 - 10:06 AM ]



DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Ahmed Jibril, the secretary-general of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine-the general command (PFLP-GC), stated that Israel failed to achieve its stated objectives of stopping rocket attacks and eliminating the resistance.

In an exclusive press statement to the PIC, Jibril said the Palestinian resistance achieved a victory over the Israeli aggression, but not a complete one because there are still political decoys which were entrusted to Egypt to place in the way of the resistance in Gaza, warning the resistance of falling into these traps.

The Palestinian leader also underlined that the first part of the security council's resolution which demanded Israel to stop its military aggression, withdraw from Gaza and open all crossings before humanitarian aid is a victory for the Palestinian resistance.

He expressed his belief that the IOF troops would withdraw from Gaza because if they did not, the Palestinian resistance would wage a war of attrition forcing them to return to where they came from.

For his part, editor in chief of the Egyptian Karamah newspaper Abdelhalim Qandil ruled out in a press statement to the Quds Press that Israel could eliminate the Hamas Movement, describing the Israeli military operations as a primitive failed method in fighting resistance movements.

Qandil underscored that there are Arab and international parties which are colluding with the Israeli goal to eradicate Hamas either because of their differences with Hamas as the PA in Ramallah or because of their fears of the growing political Islam's influence in the region.

The editor in chief noted that the assassination of leaders of resistance movements could not lead to their elimination because the resistance movements in modern times are not affected by the death of their leaders.

He also pointed that the Israeli aggression on Gaza revived the Palestinian cause in the Arab conscience and pushed forward toward a change in the Arab political scene.

Taher warns of attempts to abort resistance's victory in Gaza

DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Maher Al-Taher, the politburo member of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine, has warned that attempts were being made to abort the Palestinian resistance's victory in the Gaza Strip.

Taher, who is the representative of the PFLP abroad, said that the attempts were made by the UN Security Council and through the Egyptian initiative, which, he said, included "ambiguous articles that should be clarified".

All regional and international efforts have failed so far to pressure the Israelis to end their aggression on Gaza, he elaborated.

Taher said that all efforts should focus on ending the aggression on Gaza as a first step prior to any other move.

The PFLP official lauded the UNSC resolution 1860 that called for a ceasefire, but pointed out that it should not be exploited to foil the resistance's victory. He explained that resistance should continue until all Gaza crossings are opened, Israeli occupation forces are evacuated and the siege lifted.

No initiative would succeed without those conditions being realized after the immediate cessation of the IOF aggression, he concluded.
