In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Press statement issued by the Palestinian Factions regarding the war of starvation and genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip
The Palestinian factions are following with deep concern and comprehensive popular mobilization the systematic genocide crime that our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip are subjected to, embodied in the war of starvation, widespread bombing, and comprehensive siege, carried out by the zionist occupation government led by the criminal Netanyahu, with direct and blatant support from the American administration, and shameful international complicity and suspicious silence from the European Union and international community institutions.
Our people are entering their twenty-second month in confronting this comprehensive, open war, which has gone beyond bombing, killing, and destruction, to include the use of starvation and medical and humanitarian siege through the deliberate prevention of food and medical aid, in a desperate attempt to subjugate them and break their will.
What the Strip is subjected to is considered a war crime according to international laws and norms, and a crime against humanity by all standards, surpassing in its brutality, criminality, and sadism the crimes of Nazism and Fascism. In the face of these continuous crimes, we affirm the following:
1. We hold the war criminal Netanyahu and his fascist government fully responsible for the policies of genocide and the war of starvation they are practicing against more than two million Palestinians, in an organized crime that constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.
2. We hold the American administration, as the primary partner and sponsor of the criminal Netanyahu’s government, fully responsible for the continuation of this brutal aggression, and for the failure of the negotiation process due to the absence of any serious pressure on the occupation government to stop its crimes.
3. We denounce the suspicious international silence, especially from the European Union, and consider that the United Nations’ inability and the international community’s inaction encourage the occupation to continue its crimes against our besieged people in the Gaza Strip.
4. We affirm that these crimes clearly reveal the intentions of the occupation government, which does not seek calm or agreement, but rather aims to empty the land and impose a project of extermination and forced displacement.
5. We warn that the continuation of this approach may negatively affect the negotiation process and open the door to escalation possibilities, holding the “israeli” government and its supporting countries responsible.
6. We appeal to the masses of our Palestinian people wherever they are, our Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world, to intensify popular, political, and media efforts and massive, pressing movements to stop this ongoing crime, end the unjust siege, and break the extermination project carried out by the occupation state with American support and international inaction.
7. We call on all solidarity activists with our Palestinian people around the world to intensify their actions and unite their efforts to pressure their governments to stop their support and complicity with Netanyahu’s fascist government, and to work towards ending the policies of extermination and starvation practiced against our people, and achieving justice and freedom for Palestine.
8. In light of this tragic scene, we renew our pledge to the masses of our people that, while we feel your pain and suffering, we will continue our efforts to end them, and we will proceed with the option of comprehensive resistance until the siege is broken, the aggression is stopped, and our people’s goals of liberation, return, and independence are achieved.
