Rajoub attacks US and hails strategic partnership with China and ties with Russia

Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub reiterated in an interview that PA's policy is to side with China and Russia and not the US. Also note that the PA sees all of Israel, not merely Judea and Samaria, as illegitimate – referring to "75 years of fascist racist occupation."

"Senior [Fatah] Movement official [Rajoub] accused the US of being a partner of Israel in its crimes against the Palestinian people. He explained: ‘It is the one defending and guaranteeing to defend the unilateral Israeli aggression against our people, the Arabs and Muslims, for 75 years of the fascist racist occupation. Our options are open, and Mahmoud Abbas met with Chinese President [Xi Jinping] at the Persian Gulf Summit in Saudi Arabia and visited China, and the relations have developed into a strategic partnership… We are not a stepdaughter of the Americans, and they have no veto on our decision or our will. Our connections are open with the Russians and with the Chinese.'"
