Thawabit
The Thawabit, more formally ath-Thawabit al-Waṭanīya al-Filasṭīnīya and sometimes referred to as the Palestinian red-lines, are a set of principles representing the core issues of Palestinian national consensus on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The term Thawabit was coined by the Palestinian National Council in 1977.
According to Khaled Elgindy, these principles include:
- the right to resistance,
- the right to self-determination,
- Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, and
- the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and lands in what is today Israel.
The Thawabit was reaffirmed in the 2005 Palestinian Cairo Declaration.
The Thawabit has also been cited by some American and British groups protesting the Gaza Genocide.
