PA’s Islamic leaders ‘all agree’ that Islam prohibits Israel’s existence, ‘Sharia sanctifies Palestine’
The Palestinian National Charter states:
Article 9:
Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.
Article 19:
The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations; particularly the right to self-determination.
Article 22:
Zionism is a political movement organically associated with international imperialism and antagonistic to all action for liberation and to progressive movements in the world. It is racist and fanatic….
…in its nature, aggressive, expansionist, and colonial in its aims, and fascist in its methods. Israel is the instrument of the Zionist movement, and geographical base for world imperialism placed strategically in the midst of the Arab homeland to combat the hopes of the Arab nation for liberation, unity, and progress. Israel is a constant source of threat vis-a-vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.
When Israel was established in 1948, Arab Muslim states tried to destroy it. Then they tried again in 1967, and 1973. Then they grew more sophisticated, establishing and firmly backing the Palestinian “resistance” from the River to the Sea.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation does not recognize Israel, but fully recognizes a State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Since October 7, 2023, the stark truth grows more evident with each passing day.
“Not just Hamas! Palestinian Authority religious leaders all agree Islam prohibits Israel’s existence,” Palestinian Media Watch, April 16, 2025:
Palestinian Authority Shari’ah Judge: Shari’ah sanctifies Palestine as Islamic “from its Sea to its River”
One mistake made by world leaders and even many Israeli leaders, is to see the Palestinian Authority as a secular Muslim leadership that rejects religious war for Allah – as opposed to Hamas. This is a fundamental misreading of Palestinians and the conflict. Fundamentally, the Palestinian Authority’s political leaders, like Hamas’ leaders, and like most of the Palestinian population, are religious Muslims first and Palestinians second.
The message of all PA religious leaders – some appointed by Mahmoud Abbas himself – is to deny Israel’s right to exist on religious Islamic grounds. According to PA belief, Islamic law states that land that was once under Muslim rule must be liberated from the infidels as a mandatory religious obligation. Since the land of Israel was under Muslim Ottoman rule for four centuries the PA is prohibited from making a permanent treaty with Israel that it intends to keep.
PA Shari’ah Judge Nasser Al-Qirem explained this “fact” to worshippers at a mosque in Ramallah during a Friday sermon that was broadcast by official PA TV:
PA Shari’ah Judge Nasser Al-Qirem: “The Shari’ah legal law of this land, for anyone who doesn’t know, is that it is a waqf land (i.e., inalienable religious endowment)… from its [Mediterranean] Sea to its [Jordan] River, this is its Shari’ah law, from its sea to its river…
