According to the Wafa article, the Palestinian president emphasized that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)’s policies, initiatives, and decisions serve as the legitimate and only representative of the Palestinian people. He reaffirmed that the two-state solution, which is based on international legitimacy, is the best way to bring about security and peace.
