Nabil Amr

We committed serious mistakes against our people, our authority, and our dream of statehood. To make up for these mistakes, we must confess our failure first, and then take immediate action. Our people are noble and deserve from us the commitment to think … for their benefit. We cannot let our people’s destiny be set free to chance, a chance that under a new world order, may take yet another eternal struggle without opening a door of hope.
