Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party is generally seen as the more moderate of the Arab factions and is seen as a “partner for peace” with Israel. However, that notion may be completely off, according to comments recently made by the PA’s Ambassador to India, Adli Sadeq. In an article he wrote in the official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, on November 26, Sadeq admitted that Fatah does not respect Israel anymore than Hamas does, and that moreover, the PA and Fatah utterly reject that Israel has any right to exist. Sadeq’s comments were translated by the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) research institute and presented on its website.

They ignore the fact that this state, based on a fabricated [Zionist] enterprise, never had any shred of a right to exist...”
