Abbas Daher, editor at NB TV, said that the “challenge is great” and that the deal of the century was born dead because of the “strong” position of the Palestinian leadership.

Lebanese journalist Younis Oda said that the Palestinians have been facing conspiracies against them and their cause for 71 years.

Oda reiterated the importance of unity and resistance, stressing that united Palestinian resistance “does not only undermine the deal of the century, but [will regain] all of the land of Palestine.”

Egyptian journalist Amro Nasif said people fighting against the deal “must” be fully committed to the principles, values and goals of the Arabs.
