"Gaza – Ma’an – Muslim clerics and Christian leaders, Palestinian academics, eminent figures, intellectuals, journalists and NGO representatives, declared on Monday that they have formed "the Palestinian assembly for salvation" in Gaza.
A statement was signed by many, which said “according to the call of duty and conscience, we announce the formation of this assembly.”
The assembly declared that Palestinians are prohibited from using weapons against one another and that the use of weapons is illegal. “All that has resulted from the use of weapons recently is illegal and should be retracted, everything should return to how it was before the violence,” read the statement.
Also included in the statement were the following points:
1. The non-recognition of the use of weapons and revocation of the outcome of violence.
2. Return of the headquarters and establishments to their previous state and ownership.
3. Confirm the legitimate rule of President Abbas and urge him to reform the Palestine Liberation Organisation and the Palestinian Authority.
4. Secure and maintain the role of the Palestinian Legislative Council immediately.
5. Uphold the geographic unity of Palestine and avoid a division between the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
6. Everyone should assert that no party will be ignored, neglected, eliminated or rejected.
7. Be aware of citizens’ needs and give them priority.
8. Stress and confirm the sovereignty of law, respect freedom, enable the media to enact its role and keep it free from incitement.
9. Urge all Palestinian societies, NGOs and factions to enact their responsibilities in securing unity and the steadfastness of the Palestinians."
