PTT has reprinted this important interview by Enrico Bartolomei with
Khalida Jarrar. Some of her statements: 

Listen, an Intifada needs leaders, but we do not have leaders. And it
needs us to be united, but there is no unity at all. I think the moment
for a third Intifada will come, the people will not wait for the
situation to worsen forever, but now the priority is to be united as
Palestinians.


We should define the stage in which we find ourselves, in order to set
priorities: as Palestinians, we are facing a national and democratic
struggle. You should look at the political agenda related to the
occupation: now our national united struggle must be the priority, other
times the social and democratic issues will be at the top of the
political agenda. First of all, I think we should work to create a united
national front among all the parties to immediately end the
occupation.


Khalida Kan'an Muhammad Jarrar is a member of the

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the

Palestinian Legislative Council.

She was active for a number of years in support of Palestinian prisoners,

Rights Association in
