Islamic Jihad: Palestinians Not to Give Up An Inch of Their Soil


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A senior member of Palestine’s Islamic Jihad movement strongly condemned the US-proposed so-called plan for peace between Palestine and Israel, stressing that Palestinians will not abandon even an inch of their country’s soil.

Palestinians will never give up even an inch of their soil, Khader Habib said in comments on Thursday.

He further dismissed US President Donald Trump’s ‘deal of the century’ as a “conspiracy” aimed at consigning the issue of Palestine into oblivion, Judaizing Palestinians’ sanctities and serving the Zionist regime’s interests.

“All those who are attempting to destroy our identity and have waged war against us would only help increase our strength and resistance,” Habib said.

Stressing that resistance remains the only option for Palestinians to fight the Zionist regime of Israel and regain their rights, he said the so-called peace plan is doomed to failure like all previous plots hatched by the Israeli regime against the Arab country.

On Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump, during a joint presser with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, unveiled his long-delayed Middle East plan. He said the plan envisages the city as the Israeli regime’s “undivided capital.”

Following Trump’s announcement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said “a thousand no's” to the plan.

The American plan has sparked widespread international condemnation.
