Palestinian political activists are announcing the formation of the "Palestinian Democratic Progressive National Movement" in the West Bank city of Bethlehem on Saturday.At a preparatory meeting at 5pm in the Women's Union Hall in Bethlehem, the movement is expected to issue a call for national unity and resistance to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.
In a statement the movement said it calls for "upholding the Palestinian right to resist the occupation by all means guaranteed by international agreements, with the necessity of furthering the fight through popular resistance and involving the public in decision-making." The organizers of the new organization said they "reject the use of arms in resolving internal disputes" among Palestinians.
The announcement of the new movement comes on the heels of renewed pledges between Hamas and Fatah to resume direct talks.The movement said that they are part of the Arab and international liberation movement and anti-Zionist movement.
The movement will be struggling for a global system in which they provide respect for human rights, stressing that they are committed to working for strengthening the democracy and national unity as a basis for opposition to the occupation.
