Damascus, (SANA)
National Committee for Palestinian Dialogue in al-Yarmouk Camp condemned rejection of the armed terrorist groups of Jabhat al-Nusra and “The Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham” to withdraw from the camp, considering that the infiltration once again of those groups into the camp has posed a threat to the Palestinian initiative to end the crisis in the camp.
In a statement that SANA received a copy of it, the Committee affirmed that targeting the besieged citizens inside the camp is a continuation of the barbaric aggression on Syria’s citizens, land and national stances.
The aggression on Syria aims at liquidating the Palestinian cause and dropping the Palestinian right to return to their land, the statement added.
The Committee refused any “cheap” attempts to manipulate the humanitarian aspect in the camp, blaming terrorists for preventing aid from reaching the camp’s residents.
The Palestinian Committee reiterated its stance on all gunmen withdrawing from the camp and on resuming efforts to implement the Palestinian initiative.
Ambassador Abdul-Hadi: Solution in al-Yarmouk starts with keeping arms and gunmen out
In a relevant context, Ambassador Anwar Abdul-Hadi, Director of the Political Department of Palestine Liberation Organization, said a solution to the crisis in al-Yarmouk Camp in Damascus starts with emptying it of arms and gunmen as this is the only way for the residents to return to a safe camp.
During his meeting with the Czech Ambassador in Damascus Eva Filipi, Abdul-Hadi reaffirmed the clear Palestinian position on not interfering in the internal affairs of Syria.
For her part, Filipi stressed on a political solution to the crisis in Syria on the basis of Geneva and dialogue among all spectra of the Syrian society.
She highlighted the Czech’s stance which calls for the Palestinian people getting their legitimate rights guaranteed by the international legitimacy.
