Both Fatah and Hamas Reject Israel's Right to Exist

On November 26, 2001, the Palestinian Authority's Ambassador to India, Adli Sadeq,wrote the following in the official Palestinian Authority daily:

"They [Israelis] have a common mistake, or misconception by which they fool themselves, assuming that Fatah accepts them and recognizes the right of their state to exist, and that it is Hamas alone that loathes them and does not recognize the right of this state to exist. They ignore the fact that this state, based on a fabricated [Zionist] enterprise, never had any shred of a right to exist...

Hamas, Fatah and the others are not waging war against Israel right now for reasons related to balance of power.

There are no two Palestinians who disagree over the fact that Israel exists, and recognition of it is restating the obvious, but recognition of its right to exist is something else, different from recognition of its [physical] existence." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Nov. 26, 2011]

Palestinian Media Watch has reported extensively on PA - Fatah denial of Israel's right to exist. PA leaders and official PA media refer to all of Israel as "occupied," including cities like Haifa and Jaffa and places like the Galilee and the Negev.
