RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Fatah on Wednesday condemned what it called
'normalization' activities carried out by some Palestinian organizations.

"Every now and then, some organizations who call themselves Palestinian come
up with activities of normalization with the occupation. These activities
are held either in some European capitals or even during visits to the
occupying state," the party's Ramallah office said in a statement.

"The most recent activity was a football match involving Palestinian
children, both male and female," it added.

On Sunday, a football tournament, named "Neighbors United," was organized by
the peace organization "Mifalot" and funded by the European Union.

It took place in Israel and brought together Israeli and Palestinian
children.

Fatah said organizers had forgotten that it is Israel which does not accept
the principle of coexistence by ignoring calls by the international
community to achieve peace.
