Desperate crowd awaits relief aid at Yarmouk Palestinian refugee "camp" in Damascus.

The Palestinian Authority will re-open its offices in Syria after a lapse of 32 years, Fatah central committee member Abbas Zaki told the Ma’an News Agency. Fatah, the leading faction of the PA, began as a terrorist organization.

Fatah maintains a military wing (the Al Alqsa Martyrs’ Brigades) which carries out terrorist attacks against Israel. The faction has also managed to “Palwash” its institutionalized encouragement of terror via official PA government ceremonies honoring dead terrorists and various PA government-backed media outlets whose programs for children and adults are filled with hatred for Israel and Jews.

Abbas Zaki told Ma’an that discussions were held with the Syrian regime over returning to the UN Relief and Works Agency villages — still called “camps — those Arabs whom the United Nations agency classifies as “refugees.”

The Da’esh terror group, also known as the Islamic State (ISIS), still controls two-thirds of the Yarmouk refugee camp, one of UNRWA’s largest. Zaki said the rest of that village is under control of other armed Arab factions.
