RAMALLAH, April 29, 2018 (WAFA) - Director of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Political Department Anwar Abdul Hadi said that the convening of the National Council is a great national entitlement that comes at a very important historic stage in the history of the Palestinian cause.

He stressed the importance of convening the national council in light of the “attacks and conspiracies initiated by US President Donald Trump’s declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of the occupying state [Israel] and his decision to transfer the US embassy there.”

In an interview with “Voice of Palestine” radio, Abdul Hadi said convening the national council is very important to set out the right plans for the future and counter the serious conspiracy being carried out to undermine the Palestinian cause, which he stressed requires unity.

He said there will be an evaluation for the previous phase, planning future actions at all levels, in addition to renewing the Palestinian leadership to bear the burdens ahead.
