<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor clarification and response:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 There is no formal or informal investigation against me or against the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 German and international support for PalThink has never stopped and continues to this day, confirming ongoing trust in the credibility, transparency, and financial reporting of the organization. Our audited internal financial reports are reviewed by external auditors and published in both Arabic and English on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 PalThink for Strategic Studies is a fully independent Palestinian national institution. It was self-funded at its inception, and the institution is in fact indebted to me. PalThink represents an exceptional and unique model in Palestine and the region. Despite having a small team (3\u20135 employees) with very modest salaries, it has managed to build partnerships with dozens of prestigious institutions and universities across many countries worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PalThink has played an active and influential role in the Palestinian public sphere through key milestones, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 PalThink does not follow any political or security body and proudly maintains its full independence. It is one of the few institutions in Palestine that rejects partisan alignment or submission to conditional political funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for me personally, I reaffirm that this campaign \u2014 and others like it \u2014 of intimidation and defamation will not deter me from my position or my path. I know very well who is behind these lies, and I know their motives. The person behind this fled Gaza ten years ago to Europe and its neighbors. I am aware that some of what I write disturbs certain individuals lounging in hotels and capitals across the world \u2014 and they may have that right. But I, too, have the right to write and to express my beliefs with a free conscience and a deep sense of national responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve received messages \u2014 some gentle, some harsh \u2014 but I still stand firmly by everything I\u2019ve written since the beginning of the catastrophe. In fact, my conviction in its truth only deepens day by day, as I engage closely with international political circles in ways that surpass many who are heard only because they raise their voices. My children\u2019s education has been funded from our personal savings with no assistance, despite their high academic performance. My wife and I have been working for over 40 years as a committed, hard-working family like most Palestinian families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hold only my Palestinian nationality. I never applied for a foreign passport, even though I had many opportunities to do so. I lived in Deir al-Balah in Gaza all my life until I had to leave beautiful Gaza because of the catastrophe. And I will continue my efforts to defend the Palestinian cause with a pure conscience and relentless work \u2014 often exceeding the efforts of ten embassies and five foreign ministries, as many people used to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Three websites published a report last Wednesday accusing me personally, as well as PalThink for Strategic Studies, of corruption. These websites used my name and photo in the headline of the report, even though the original material published on a fake foreign website does not mention my name at all. The so-called “Inform Europe” is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcement"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
