RAMALLAH: The Palestine Liberation Organization, seen internationally as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, expressed its condolences on Friday on the “martyrdom” of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and called for unity among all Palestinian factions.
“The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) expresses its condolences to the Palestinian people and all national factions on the martyrdom of the great national leader Yahya Sinwar, head of the political bureau of Hamas,” a statement by the committee said.
The PLO accused Israel of committing “massacres and genocide” against Palestinians and called for all Palestinian factions to stand united, especially after the death of Sinwar.
The PLO called for a united struggle against Israel for the “full reclaiming of our rights, including the right of return, the end of the occupation, and the establishment of our Palestinian state on all our occupied territories based on the 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its eternal capital,” the statement said.
In a separate statement, Fatah, the party of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, said Israel’s policy of “killing and terrorism will not succeed in breaking the will of our people to achieve their legitimate national rights to freedom and independence.”

LONDON: Syrian authorities said they sent a second humanitarian convoy to the northern town of Ayn Al-Arab in the Aleppo countryside on Tuesday, as part of ongoing efforts to help civilians affected by the conflict between the government and the Syrian Democratic Forces.
Farhad Khurto, deputy head of the Central Committee for Aleppo Response, said five trucks delivered essential supplies including food, medicines for children and people with special needs, blankets and drinking water.
Amin Hababeh, the director of Aleppo’s Emergency and Disaster Management Center, said representatives of the organization accompanied the convoy to ensure the critical humanitarian assistance reached the people who needed it.
The operation was organized by the Central Committee for Aleppo Response in coordination with Civil Defense teams, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the Red Cross, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
On Monday, 24 aid trucks delivered medical supplies, heating materials and other relief items to Ayn Al-Arab, a Kurdish-majority town also known as Kobani. The response committee said the operation was carried out in coordination with the UN to provide aid for civilians despite the security risks from landmines planted by SDF militants in the area.
