Press Release Ramallah: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has commented on the Zionist government's plan to isolate Jerusalem from the rest of the Palestinian territories. The Popular Front said that these are steps that lead to the practical annexation of the City of Jerusalem. In addition, this plan also involves expanding the area to be isolated in accordance with the old plans for the old, yet new, Greater Jerusalem scheme. The Popular Front pointed out that although this plan is being pursued under the camouflage of its being for security purposes, it nevertheless imposes political facts on the ground that dispel all the prevalent illusions in the policy of the Palestine Authority about Jerusalem being a subject for negotiations with the Zionist government. This plan confirms that the Zionist government is continuing with its plan to gobble up our land, colonize it, and Judaize it, without regard for any agreements. The Popular Front stressed that these steps by the Zionist government must serve as a new lesson for the Palestine Authority about the possibility of negotiating with the Zionists or of even reaching partial agreements on this subject. The Popular Front believes that the Zionist government decision contravenes international resolutions concerning Jerusalem, and it calls on the international community to shoulder its responsibility regarding this matter. The Front also calls on the Arab and Islamic states and their peoples to act, for Jerusalem is not only a Palestinian issue, it is an Arab and Islamic issue. The Front called on the Palestinian masses to hold fast to the choice of resistance and intifada, and to continue with them and not bet on any of the illusions that still find a place in the approach of official Palestinian policy. The Popular Front said that Jerusalem will remain Arab Palestinian land in spite of all the arbitrary steps that the terrorist Sharon government may take.
