Fatah youth movement vows to ‘isolate all settlements’ in Friday violence
The “Shabiba” youth movement of the Fatah calls on Palestinians to remain “steadfast” in the defense of Jerusalem.
In a statement Wednesday, the movement backs Fatah leader and PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s decision to freeze all coordination with Israel, and calls for widespread participation in planned protests on Friday.
The movement promises “the expansion of the circle of confrontation with the occupation forces, isolation of settlements and the opening of all fronts, in villages, cities and refugee camps.”
The statement says the planned actions will target all settlements and roads leading to them.
