November 12, 1992 Faisal Husseini

The PLO’s proxy representative in Jerusalem, Faisal Husseini, declared to an Arab audience:

“We have not conceded and will not surrender any of the…commitments that have existed for more than 70 years… We have within our Palestinian and united Arab society the ability to deal with divided Israeli society…  We must force Israeli society to cooperate…with our Arab society and eventually to gradually dissolve the ‘Zionist entity.’”
