Fatah continues campaign against Balfour Declaration

The Fatah movement headed by Mahmoud Abbas, who also serves as Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman, on Wednesday condemned British Prime Minister Theresa May, who announced her intention to officially mark the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

Munib al-Jar'ub, the Fatah official in charge of public diplomacy, said that May's remarks express a bias toward the "racist occupation state", a reference to Israel, and represent a danger of legitimizing an "occupation" that targets Palestinian land and man.
