Fatah, the Palestinian political faction leading the Palestinian Authority, has welcomed US-led efforts under President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza and protect civilians, according to a statement reported by the official Wafa news agency.
The group said it is prepared to work with all parties to achieve a ceasefire, deliver humanitarian aid to the famine-hit enclave, secure the release of captives and Palestinian prisoners, and establish international mechanisms to safeguard Palestinians.
Fatah also demanded the release of frozen Palestinian tax revenues, a full Israeli withdrawal, and measures to restore unity across Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and East Jerusalem as part of a two-state solution.
The movement expressed support for President Mahmoud Abbas’s pledge to pursue reforms, including holding presidential and parliamentary elections within a year of the war’s end.
However, senior Fatah figure Abbas Zaki strongly criticised the US proposal, describing it to local media as a “document of surrender” forced on Palestinians without their consent.
He warned that embracing such plans would deepen humiliation, legitimise occupation, and fracture Palestinian unity, accusing Washington and Israel of seeking to “liquidate the Palestinian cause.”
