A senior Fatah official based in Lebanon, Basel Abu Shahab, stated in an interview with a terrorist organization's television channel that the Palestinian leadership has prepared a "trap" for Israel within the framework of a two-state solution. Abu Shahab claimed that the establishment of a Palestinian state would, within 20 years, allow Palestinians to develop capabilities that could rival Israel's, including an air force and industry.
He further elaborated that the declaration of a Palestinian state would signify the "disappearance of the Israeli entity," which he equated with the "disappearance of global Zionism or the Freemasons." Abu Shahab suggested that Israel is aware of the danger posed by the establishment of a Palestinian state, implying that leaders like Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas have intentions that are not fully understood by the public.
The interview, which took place on Monday, was broadcast by a television channel belonging to a terrorist organization, according to the report. The official's remarks suggest a strategic long-term goal by Palestinian leadership to achieve parity with or surpass Israel's capabilities through the establishment of their own state.
