The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques made his remark in a cable he sent to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and members of the 6th Fatah Movement Conference.The monarch recalled that "late President Yasser Arafat’s (Fatah movement leader) had triggered the Arab and Muslim national spirit of steadfastness and resistance." In this regard, the King pointed out that Fatah was a symbol of Palestine, and called on Palestinian leaders and individuals to beware of differences and hatred among themselves.The Saudi King noted that Palestinian rivals in recent history were detrimental to the Palestinian issue more than the Israeli enemy."Since you are divided with each other, it would be impossible for the entire world community to create an independent Palestinian state," he added.The King reminded Palestinian factions of the commitments they had in Makkah before him, urging them once more for unity and reconciliation.
