PA: Ceasefire Doesn't Mean Intifada Will Stop
(Al-Hayyat Al-Jadeedah/Jerusalem Times/IMRA) - Palestinian Brig. Gen. Saleem Al-Wadyeh, Deputy for Political Affairs of the Border Police, during a visit to Border Police headquarters at Al-Mintar in the eastern part of the Gaza District, stressed the need to continue the intifada until the rights of the Palestinians are all granted. Wadyeh explained that the PA-announced ceasefire does not mean that the intifada will stop, adding that the decision improves the standing of Palestinians worldwide and should be honored by all factions. He continued, "Our leadership is wise and understands the dimensions of the current stage very well." The Palestinians, Wadyeh added, were able, through tenacity and sacrifice, to force the U.S. into acknowledging their rights, and their sacrifices, partly as a result, are finally beginning to pay dividends.
