The Commission emphasised that these efforts are not merely field work, but rather historic stances recorded into their “long history of loyalty and manhood”, noting that tribal men represent a symbol of steadfastness and strength, and the backbone of societal cohesion.

The Commission also expressed pride and gratitude, affirming that tribal men will remain a pillar of the Palestinian nation and its “unshakable glory”.
