GAZA (PIC)– Thousands of Palestinian professionals have demonstrated their unequivocal support to the legitimate PA government under premier Ismail Haneyya and denounced PA chief Mahmoud Abbas’s “hasty” and “unconstitutional” decrees.
The professionals’ support was evident by the massive rally they held in Gaza city where thousands of teachers doctors journalists and engineers among other professionals participated.
The professionals urged Abbas to revoke his “arbitrary” edicts to respect the democratic will of the Palestinian people and to stop circumventing the Palestinian legitimacy.
“What the Palestinian people are facing now is indeed a coup against the constitutional Palestinian legitimacy as obvious by Abbas’s illegitimate decrees that clearly violated the PA basic law” one of the speakers in the demonstration asserted.
Raising the Palestinian flags the professional swarms highlighted the necessity of returning to the table of national dialogue among the Palestinian factions for the best of the Palestinian people and to cut the road before Israel and USA’s conspiracies against the Palestinian national venture.
“We are behind you Haneyya…. No coup against legitimacy is allowed” the participants chanted in the rally.
A number of placards bearing written phrases like “Oh Allah make this place safe” “Have a mercy on our people in the West Bank” and “Yes…Yes to Haneyya… we are clinging to our legitimate government” among other phrases were brandished by the demonstrators during the rally.
In the past few days Abbas issued at least eight “unconstitutional” decrees in which he dissolved the legitimate PA unity government and formed an emergency government without the mandated approval from the PLC but it was blessed by Israel and the USA. He suspended articles of the PA basic law in an obvious step to condition the law to his own political desire.
