Rajoub: Israel is responsible for the Israelis killed on Oct. 7
Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: "What happened on Oct. 7, [2023] (i.e., Hamas' invasion and atrocities) was a reaction to the systematic Israeli crimes… Now, sure that we don't support killing kids, women, kidnapping. For sure that this is not part of our policy or our doctrine. But he who is responsible for that is he who tried to sustain the occupation (i.e., Israel), he who continues his crimes and atrocities against the Palestinian people, and the Israeli government is the only responsible for what's going on, for the suffering, whether for the Palestinians or some Israeli civilians who were killed on Oct. 7."
