DFLP Statement on the 15th Month of Al-Aqsa Flood War

At the conclusion of the October War, its 15th month “Democracy”: Through national and societal dialogue, and translating its outcomes, we strengthen the steadfastness of our people and our resistance, protect the blood of our people, and break the fascist attack.

With the conclusion of the savage October War, its 15th month, and its entry into its 16th month, and in light of the legendary steadfastness of our people and our resistance in the Gaza Strip, and the continued rise of the mass movement in the West Bank, and its confrontation with the occupation and settlers, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine issued a statement, in which it confirmed that through national and societal dialogue, and translations of what is agreed upon, and the preservation of the blood of our people, and blocking the path to sedition, we strengthen the steadfastness of our people and our resistance, and deepen our unity in the field, and pave the way towards a comprehensive national programmatic vision, capable of breaking the back of the invasion and occupation, and thwarting the “day after” projects for the Gaza Strip, and confronting the annexation and decisive projects in the West Bank, and defending our national project, as approved by the Palestinian legitimacy in the National and Central Councils, in freedom, self-determination and independence, and the right of return for refugees, and expelling the occupation and dismantling the settlements, and liberation from the “Oslo restrictions” and the “Paris Economic Protocol.”

The Democratic Front said: Our Palestinian people and our valiant resistance in the Gaza Strip confirm, day after day, their steadfastness and high readiness to stand firm and thwart the Zionist project drawn up for the Strip, which requires stopping the state of political and media conflict over the national approach and plan to block the Israeli-American project for the “day after” for the Strip, which was reaffirmed by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in his media statements.

The Democratic Front stressed that returning to commitment and respect for what was agreed upon in Beijing, in terms of activating the unified and temporary leadership framework, and forming a national consensus government of competencies and activists, managing the general affairs of the situation in the Gaza Strip, as in the West Bank, and preserving the territorial integrity of the State of Palestine, is the way to block the Tel Aviv-Washington projects, and to preserve the precious sacrifices of our people and their resistance, and to rise to the national level that befits what the proud sector has offered in terms of martyrs and wounded, pain, tears and blood, and to take the national situation out of revolving in a vicious circle, in the search for a solution for the national role in the sector, in light of the war and after it.

As for the West Bank, and in light of the Israeli attack, the Democratic Front called for the removal of everything that would inflame and ignite the national atmosphere, and incite the ignition of the fire of sedition, from whose harm no one will escape, and which will only benefit the Israeli enemy and its liquidation projects.

In this context, the Democratic Front called for launching a national and societal dialogue in the West Bank, to discuss the general conditions, including agreement on the principle of the Palestinian people’s right to resist the occupation by all possible and available means, which are mandated by the decisions of Palestinian legitimacy, represented by the National and Central Councils, and translations of national dialogues, the most recent of which is the “Beijing Dialogue”, and international legitimacy and laws.
The Democratic Front stressed that this requires the Palestinian Authority, which holds the reins of decision-making in the West Bank, to assume its national responsibilities, including ending its siege of the city of Jenin and its camp, returning security personnel to their barracks, abolishing all armed manifestations inside the city and camp, stopping the Authority from issuing security summonses to individuals and activists, releasing those detained among them, stopping distorting national figures and leaders, neutralizing the official media, considering it a media for everyone, not for one group over another, and not involving it in political disputes between the parties of the national situation, and focusing its efforts instead on confronting Israeli barbarism in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Relief Agency, and the national rights of our people.

The Democratic Front concluded its statement by emphasizing that, through all of this, we are re-correcting the course of national relations, and deepening our national ability to confront the projects that are being prepared to be implemented, within the framework of the American-Israeli alliance, and at the expense of the legitimate national rights of our people and their political and national future.
