Информация
Salim Ahmed Staiti was born in Tulkarm in 1964. He is married and has six children. He completed his primary and secondary education in Tulkarm schools, and earned a bachelor's degree in engineering from An-Najah University in Nablus, and a master's degree in "Urban and Regional Planning" from the same university.
Stiti joined the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine in 1981. The events that the Palestinian cause went through at that time, especially the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, prompted him to increase his involvement in national work against the Israeli occupation. He devoted himself to organizational work within the ranks of the Front and assumed several organizational positions within it. He was a member of the Central Committee and the Secretary of the Front in the Tulkarm Governorate.
During the First Intifada, the occupation arrested Staiti several times for three years, and he was subjected to torture in the interrogation basements on charges of participating in the Intifada. The occupation also prevented him from traveling between the years (1987-1993).
Stiti adopts the intellectual discourse of the Palestine Liberation Organization, through which the features of Palestinian political action were formed. This thought deepened his belief in the rights of the Palestinian people. He adopts the organization’s political program aimed at the establishment of a Palestinian state on the territories occupied in 1967 with Jerusalem as its capital. He believes in the inevitability of the Palestinian people’s victory despite the dark stage they are going through. In his opinion, the occupation has not outnumbered the Palestinians, at least demographically, despite the passage of more than one hundred years since the ominous Balfour Declaration.
Stiti criticized the Oslo Accords and its provisions, especially for not including an agreement on all issues, the failure of the occupation to withdraw from the territories occupied in 1967 and from Jerusalem, and the failure to implement all international legitimacy resolutions. He also criticized the policy of phased negotiations in light of the fear that the occupation would renege on the agreements, and the results on the ground confirmed the correctness of this criticism.
Stiti believes that the division is a dark chapter in the history of the Palestinian people, and the only beneficiary of it is the Israeli occupation. He calls on the Fatah and Hamas movements to implement the National Reconciliation Document, the “Prisoners Agreement,” signed in 2006, to hold comprehensive elections, and to restore the credibility of Palestinian institutions. Stiti believes that if there is a will among the Palestinian factions, the division will end, holding the Fatah and Hamas movements responsible for its continuation because neither side has made concessions in order to make the reconciliation agreement a success.
Stiti emphasizes the right of all factions to join the PLO and the Palestinian Authority, provided they adhere to what he calls the “systems of the Palestine Liberation Organization” and do not deviate from legitimacy. He believes that the Palestinian people have the right to resist the occupation in accordance with what international legitimacy has established, especially since the Palestinians are the rightful owners and not invaders.
