Fatah: Stages plan is still Palestinian Authority policy

The article from Palestinian Media Watch presents three main arguments:

1. Endorsement of the "Stages Plan": The Palestinian Authority (PA) and Fatah continue to support the "stages plan," viewing the establishment of a state within the 1967 borders as an initial step toward reclaiming all of Israel.

2. Non-Recognition of Israel's Legitimacy: Fatah officials deny Israel's legitimacy in any borders, referring to the "occupation" as having lasted 76 years, thereby rejecting Israel's right to exist since its establishment in 1948.

3. Encouragement for Hamas to Join the PLO Without Recognizing Israel: Fatah officials advocate for Hamas to join the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), emphasizing that neither Hamas nor Fatah need to recognize Israel, aligning with the broader goal of reclaiming all of Israel.
