Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki said in a January 2, 2023 address that aired on Palestine TV that the Israelis must choose between leaving Palestine by sea, or wading “into a sea of blood”. He praised Palestinian terrorists such as Uday Tamimi, Diaa Hamarsheh, and Raad Hazem for taking the initiative to carry out attacks and for causing Israel to “lose sleep”, and he said that the Palestinians have given “everything” for peace. He added that Israel’s settler “scum” should “think about leaving”.
