Dr. Ahmad Majdalani, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, delivered a scathing critique of Hamas during a televised address on Palestine TV on February 14, 2025. He rejected Hamas’s claims of victory in the recent ceasefire deal, asserting that it has only resulted in an exodus of 200 Palestinians per day from Gaza. Majdalani went further, stating that the “Nakba of Gaza is worse than the Nakba of 1948.”
In his remarks, Majdalani also distanced the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from Hamas, emphasizing that the PLO has never fought as a proxy force for any external power. He pushed back against accusations that the PLO has been passive, recalling his own past as a fighter who took up arms at 16.
Additionally, Majdalani defended the Oslo Accords, refuting claims that they were a “catastrophe.” Instead, he pointed out that the agreement enabled the return of 1.8 million Palestinian refugees—a stark contrast, he noted, to Hamas’s ceasefire, which has driven people away. He also called out Hamas’s ideological ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, further cementing his opposition to the group’s leadership and decisions.

I wonder how much his life insurance policy cost?
He’s speaking to Palestinians but his level is too deep for them. I doubt they get his message.
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In 1947, and again on May 14, 1948, the United States had offered de facto recognition of the Israeli Provisional Government, but during the war, the United States maintained an arms embargo against all belligerents.

The United Nations resolution sparked conflict between Jewish and Arab groups within Palestine. Fighting began with attacks by irregular bands of Palestinian Arabs attached to local units of the Arab Liberation Army composed of volunteers from Palestine and neighboring Arab countries. These groups launched their attacks against Jewish cities, settlements, and armed forces. The Jewish forces were composed of the Haganah, the underground militia of the Jewish community in Palestine, and two small irregular groups, the Irgun, and LEHI. The goal of the Arabs was initially to block the Partition Resolution and to prevent the establishment of the Jewish state. The Jews, on the other hand, hoped to gain control over the territory allotted to them under the Partition Plan.
