Mansour: The Palestinian cause is facing a serious juncture

9 October 2007

NABLUS, (PIC)-- MP Mona Mansour, a member of Hamas-affiliated change and reform parliamentary bloc, has warned that the Palestinian cause is facing a serious juncture as a result of the inter-Palestinian crisis and the ongoing Israeli aggressions against the Palestinian people.

In a speech delivered by Mansour before the committee for the families of martyrs in Nablus city, she called on the Palestinian people to unite their ranks in the face of challenges which aim to undermine their unity, confirming that the Palestinian women will not allow the Israeli occupation and its agents to "beat their unity and steal their children's dreams".

The lawmaker hailed the supreme sacrifices of the Palestinian martyrs' families who offered their sons and daughters to defend their Palestinian land against the Israeli occupation, underlining that the attainment of great objectives in life requires equivalent great sacrifices.

The MP urged the attendees, in her capacity as a wife of a Palestinian martyr, to have patience and steadfastness and to raise their children well, calling on them to stand united against practices of security apparatuses loyal to PA chief Mahmoud Abbas topped by political arrests, security coordination with the IOA, and violations against freedom of expression.
