Those who have left include Khaled Jibril, son of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) founder Ahmad Jibril, as well as Palestinian Popular Struggle Front secretary-general Khaled Abdel Majid and Fatah al-Intifada secretary-general Ziad al-Saghir.

Washington, which considers several Palestinian factions to be “terrorist” organisations, last week announced it was lifting sanctions on Syria after earlier saying Damascus needed to respond to demands including suppressing “terrorism” and preventing “Iran and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory”.

The factions “did not receive any official request from the authorities to leave Syrian territory” but instead faced restrictions and property confiscations, the first Palestinian factional leader said, noting that some factions “were de facto prohibited from operating” or their members were arrested.

The new authorities have seized property from “private homes, offices, vehicles and military training camps in the Damascus countryside and other provinces”, he said.

      Armed resistance is what’s preventing there from being a Palestinian state. If it weren’t for Arafat and then Hamas wanting to continue armed resistance for their own profit there would’ve been a Palestinian state decades ago.

        There is no Palestinian state because Israel is an occupying force that is funded by the ideally that it has the right to the whole land. Get the facts straight .

        Nobody forced Zionists to come to a land surrounded by people supposedly have an eternal hate to them . Nobody forced Israel to occupy Gaza and the west bank during 76

        “after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine” - First prime minister of Israel Ben Gurion

        “The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.” - Former Prime minister Menachem Begin

        The first intifada started peacefully until Israelis terrorists suppress the uprising, including live ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas, beatings, and mass arrests.

        The Palestinians authority is in control of the west bank collaborating with Israel, never attacked Israelis since the Oslo accord how Israel is responding it responded by arming illegal settlers and defending their terrorism.

        You are just doing colonization apologia

      Lebanon seems like a lost cause. Hezbollah straight rolled over without doing anything when Israel escalated. It was pretty pathetic honestly.

      Yemen has filled their role and is stepping up bigtime.

        When did Israel ever respected peace deals they didn’t after Arab surrendered they continued to destoy Palestinians villages , they didn’t during Lebanese civil war , they didn’t after 2006 war.

        I don’t think Hezbollah is done, i think they could recover after a decade or so . Let’s see how they will perform during this election. The really pathetic side was the Lebanese army , when Israel strike the hurt of the capital it’s no longer about Hezbollah vs Israel

        You are right Yemen is the new face of the armed resistance

          Israel is still bombing Lebanon and Hezbollah is not retaliating.

          Hezbollah had many missiles which they could have aimed at Israel. They did not. They took it and they keep taking it without retaliating.

        Uhhh… these assholes are terrorists.

        Yeah Italy just rolled over in WWII while Germany fought to the bitter end. Do you think it was better that Germany continued fighting when it was obvious they’d lost because some authoritarian asshole convinced them they should own all of the land they wanted with no more Jews?

        Look at the photos of German cities at the end of WWII and look at Gaza. This kind of senseless hatred doesn’t accomplish anything other than getting a lot of people killed.

        Palestinians are dying because of the hatred of Hamas and it will accomplish exactly nothing.

          They definitely are doing many terrorism acts in fact even groups on old colonial countries did like the Mau Mau and Nana Sahib’s forces in India. So yeah a terrorist group can still be a resistance group.

          Do you seriously believe that Israel is not an occupying force from it’s foundation till today and still believe in the whole land belonging to jews? 100 millions died in India to get independence. Don’t tell Palestinians what the do against an occupying force
