“With the unity of our people, our resistance, and by harnessing the energies of the Arab nation, we can stop the genocide and thwart the ‘Greater Israel’ plan.”
“If I fall, take my place, my comrade in the struggle.”
O valiant masses of our people in the homeland and the diaspora,
Sons of our Arab nation and the free people of the nation and the world,
We commemorate the twenty-fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of the Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the great national and pan-Arab leader, Abu Ali Mustafa. He was assassinated by treacherous zionist aircraft while performing his national duties in his office in the occupied city of Ramallah, in a perfidious zionist crime. He left behind an honorable legacy of sacrifice and giving, immortalizing his presence in the record of the great and eternal figures.
The enemy tried to assassinate the idea by assassinating its holder, but Abu Ali’s blood turned into a flame that illuminates the paths of resistance and fighters. His immortal testament, “We returned to resist, and on the principles, we do not compromise,” remains alive among the generations of our people.
The national leader dedicated his life to Palestine and returned to the occupied homeland believing that resistance and unity are the only path to freedom and return. He was a living symbol of a resistant Palestine, a voice for the poor and the toilers, a conscience for the unity of our people, and an example of revolutionary steadfastness and resolve that knows no compromise.
On this occasion, we extend our greetings and loyalty to the one who carried the banner after him, the great national leader and heroic prisoner Ahmad Sa’adat, and to his comrades who embodied the meaning of loyalty to the martyrs’ blood with their revolutionary revenge against the racist criminal Rehavam Ze’evi, affirming that the blood of our leaders and our people is not cheap.
Masses of our people… Sons of our Arab nation… Free people of the world,
This anniversary comes at a time when our people in the Gaza Strip are witnessing an escalating zionist war of genocide, while the occupation continues its Judaization and settlement policies in the West Bank, aiming to destroy the camps and displace their residents.
These crimes aim to uproot Palestinians from their land and erase their national identity, amidst the perpetration of the most heinous massacres and systematic attempts to liquidate the national cause and our people’s right to live in freedom and dignity on their soil.
In light of this unprecedented zionist escalation, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms on this anniversary its firm commitment to the path of its martyred leader, to the unity of our people, and to its resistance. It will continue the struggle on all levels to stop the massacres, thwart the occupation’s plans, and protect the historical and national rights of our people. The Front also emphasizes the following:
1. To continue working at all political, field, popular, and international levels to stop the war of genocide in Gaza and thwart the occupation’s plans for displacement and uprooting. This includes intensifying efforts to stop the massacres, protect civilians, and prevent the humanitarian catastrophe from worsening.
2. To take urgent action to confront the occupation’s plan to occupy Gaza City, expose the direct American support for this escalation, prevent the displacement of the population and the destruction of the city, and use all political and diplomatic means to compel the international community to pressure the occupation and stop this plan.
4. To activate the institutions of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) by convening a comprehensive National Council to rebuild national legitimacy and protect Palestinian rights. Ending the approach of unilateralism and compromises is an urgent national necessity.
5. The necessity of leveraging the wave of international solidarity to exert effective pressure on the occupation, confront the direct American partnership in the aggression, and continue the global movement to stop the war, prevent the supply of weapons to the occupation, and strengthen boycott and international sanctions campaigns. The task of prosecuting the so-called “American aid company” [GHF] as a terrorist arm of the zionist and American genocide is now on the agenda of the world’s free people, all solidarity activists, and parliamentarians for human rights.
6. The Arab nation must unite and its efforts must be combined, harnessing its energies and using all instruments of diplomatic, political, and popular power, including the oil weapon, to defeat the “Greater Israel” project launched by the occupation. Stopping the war of genocide in Gaza and repelling the aggression in the West Bank are the first shots in the body of this project, leading to its defeat and rout.
7. Supporting the steadfastness of our people in the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing war of genocide is a shared national responsibility. The responsible authorities in Gaza, along with the National Authority, bear the greatest responsibility in this regard. The occupation’s escalation, its threat to invade Gaza City, and its attempt to impose displacement require strengthening popular and social solidarity among all components of the people to ensure permanent steadfastness in the face of risks and the ongoing war.
8. Continuing to support the male and female prisoners in occupation jails is a national and moral responsibility, as they are the vanguard of the resistance and its free voice. It is essential to highlight their suffering and the violations committed against them by the occupation.
The Popular Front renews its pledge to the great martyred leader Abu Ali Mustafa and to all the martyrs of Palestine to remain loyal to their principles, continuing the developed and escalating resistance until the achievement of our people’s goals of liberation, return, and the establishment of the state of Palestine from its river to its sea, with Al-Quds as its capital.
Glory to the martyrs… Freedom for the prisoners… A speedy recovery for the wounded.
Victory for our people and our resistance.
And tomorrow the fog will lift from the hills, and we will surely be victorious.
