Saeb Erekat says ‘Palestinians fought alongside allies’
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, as per a tweet by journalist Khaled Abu Toameh, says Palestinians fought along the allied forces in World War II.
His remarks follow a statement by Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday where he made inaccurate remarks about ties between the Arabs of British-mandate Palestine and the Nazi regime, which have been well documented.
Saeb Erekat: "Palestinian efforts against Nazi regime are a deep-rooted part of our history. Palestinians fought alongside Allied Troops."
