PROGRAMMA DEL GOVERNO DI UNITA' NAZIONALE:

In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate,
The Program of the National Unity Government,
(The Eleventh Government)

The Palestinian people have lived for more than 60 years under the yoke 
of dispersion, deprivation and eviction and suffered due to occupation 
all kinds of suffering and oppression and aggression while our people 
marked a long process of struggle, resistance, perseverance, and 
resilience through which they sacrificed hundreds of thousands of 
martyrs and injured and prisoners and gave the best examples of 
sacrifice and self denial and giving and clinging to their rights and 
constants moving through important historical phases until we reached 
the phase of the national unity government (the eleventh government).
This government was born after many efforts exerted by the loyal members 
of our people who worked day and night to reach a reconciliatory vision 
and common denominators that gather all Palestinians under one umbrella.
This government came as a fruit of the positive spirit and mutual 
confidence that resulted in solving all issues in the various fields and 
this government is one of the major and leading results of the blessed 
Mecca Agreement under the sponsorship of the Saudi King Abdul Aziz. The 
national unity government is the culmination of a long series of 
Palestinian dialogues where Egypt and Syria had a leading role in 
sponsoring these dialogues and following them up with appreciated 
efforts by several brotherly Arab countries and the Arab and Islamic 
organizations. It also reflects the devotion and loyalty to the long 
process of martyrs and the pains of the prisoners and injured, mainly 
the major martyrs the late president Yasser Arafat and Sheikh Imam Ahmad 
Yaseen and Leader Abu Ali Mustafa and leader Fathi al-Shiqaqi and leader 
Abdul Abbas.
Based on the national conciliation document and in light of the letter 
of commissioning, the national unity government will work at all levels 
in a manner that achieves the higher interests of the Palestinian people 
in the following manner:
First: at the political level
1- The government affirms that the key to security and stability in the 
region depends on ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian 
territories and recognizing the right to self determination of the 
Palestinian people; the government will work with the international 
community for the sake of ending the occupation and regaining the 
legitimate rights of the Palestinian people so that we can build a solid 
basis for peace, security and prosperity in the region.
2- The government shall abide to protect the higher national interests 
of the Palestinian people and protect their rights and preserve and 
develop their accomplishments and work on achieving their national goals 
as ratified by the resolutions of the PNC meetings and the Articles of 
the Basic Law and the national conciliation document and the resolutions 
of the Arab summits and based on this, the government shall respect the 
international legitimacy resolutions and the agreements that were signed 
by the PLO.
3- The government shall abide by rejecting the so called state with 
temporary borders because this idea is based on taking away from the 
legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
4- To cling to the right of the Palestinian refugees and right of return 
to their lands and properties.
5- To work diligently for the sake of liberating the heroic prisoners 
from the Israeli occupation prisons.
6- To confront the measures of the occupation on the ground in terms of 
the assassinations, arrests, and incursions. The government shall grant 
special importance to the city of Jerusalem to confront the Israeli 
policies pertaining to the people, lands and holy sites of Jerusalem.

2- The government affirms that resistance is a legitimate right of the 
Palestinian people as granted by the international norms and charters; 
our Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves in face of 
any Israeli aggression and believes that halting resistance depends on 
ending the occupation and achieving freedom, return and independence.
3- Despite this, the government, through national conciliation, will 
work on consolidating the calm and expanding it to become a 
comprehensive reciprocal truce happening at the same time between both 
sides and this should be in return for Israel halting its occupation 
measures on the ground in terms of assassinations, arrests, incursions 
and home demolition and leveling of lands and the digging works in 
Jerusalem and it should work on removing the check[points and reopening 
the crossings and lifting all the restrictions on movement and the 
release of prisoners.
4- The government affirms what came in the national conciliation 
document on the issue of the administration of the negotiations which is 
the jurisdiction of the PLO and the President of the PNA on the basis of 
clinging to the Palestinian national goals and towards achieving these 
goals, so that any offer on any final agreement should be presented to 
the new Palestinian National Council for ratification or to hold a 
general referendum to have the Palestinian people inside and abroad and
