The Palestine National Council Demands, on the 99 anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, Britain Bear its legal and Moral Responsibilities and Expiate for its Sin Towards the Palestinian People

The PNC calls on Great Britain to bear its legal and moral responsibility for the consequences of its infamous declaration, and for the catastrophes, misery, tragedy, injustice and mass displacement, this declaration created after its promise of a national home for the Zionists gangs in Palestine at the expense of its indigenous people.

In  a statement issued on Tuesday by the PNC emphasizing the importance of uniting Palestinian, Arab and conscientious people’s efforts all over the world to exert pressure on the British government obliging it to do justice to the Palestinian people and expiate for its crime and historic sin towards our land and sons of our people whose ancestors have lived for millennia in Palestine.

The PNC calls upon the House of Commons to open up the Balfour declaration file and reconsider it with the aim of putting pressure on the British government and unequivocally recognize the State of Palestine, bearing the consequences of its promise, in the framework of achieving justice which our people have been denied almost through one hundred year, whereas the British position still doesn’t recognize the state of Palestine.

The PNC demands the Palestinian, Arab institution, Arab league, the IslamicCooperation Organization, Non-aligned Countries and all people who are united in solidarity with our people, support, back President Mahmoud Abbas’s plan to sue Britain over its Balfour Declaration for being a direct cause of the Palestinian catastrophe and for its unadherence to its obligations as a mandatory power to assist and convey the Palestinian people to independence and establishment of the state.

The PNC emphasizes that our people, future generations will never pardon or have mercy upon conspirators and those who cause our people displacement, denying them to live in their homeland freely and respectfully. This unprecedented declaration led to mass emigration of hundreds of thousands of Jews to Palestine and establishment of colonial settlements in it, exposing our people to massacres and displacements at the hands of the Zionist gangs under the patronage, support of the mandatory government of Britain.

The PNC represents the supreme authority of the Palestinian people in all their places of residence. It sets PLO policies and plans to achieve the goals of the Palestinian people for self-determination, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of refugees to their homes.After Al-Nakba (catastrophe) of 1948, the Arab Higher Committee for Palestine, headed by Haj Amin Al-Husseini, decided to call for the convening of a Palestine National Council which met in Gaza in 1October 1948, which was the first Palestinian legislative authority to be established in the Arab state of Palestine. The Council then formed an all-Palestine government headed by Hilmi Abdel Baqi, who represented Palestine in the league of Arab States.The first national conference was held inJerusalem on 28May -2June 1964. This first National Council had 422 members, declared the establishment of the PlO, which represents the leadership of the Palestinian Arab people. The most important of which is the Palestinian National Charter, the Statutes of the Organization and others, and Mr. Ahmad Al-Shukairy was elected Chairman of the PlO.
