Thousands of Palestinians took part today in a rally in Ramallah marking the 58th anniversary of the launch by Fatah movement of the Palestinian resistance and revolution, which coincides on January 1, with the Deputy Chairman of Fatah movement, Mahmoud Aloul, lighting the torch.

He added, "We send a message to the world, the Arab nation, and our people that we have lived 58 years of struggle, and are ready to continue until we achieve the aspirations of our people, achieve the victory, and establish the Palestinian state."
Aloul said that “the Palestinian people are ready to confront the new far-right Israeli government of religious Zionists, which has made clear its intentions and threats to Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the prisoners, our families, and our people within the 48 territories," calling on the Palestinian people everywhere to confront this right-wing fascist government through national unity and popular resistance.
"Fatah cannot accept the perpetuation of the status quo of practices and crimes of the occupiers, and violation of the agreements. We cannot accept anything because of that.”
