“The Day After” the Aggression is a Day of the Enemy’s Defeat and Retreat: PFLP Statement

The enemy Minister of War’s statements about their government’s plans to continuously control the Gaza Strip are pure illusions. The day after the war will be a day of defeat and complete withdrawal of the aggression and a day of victory for the resistance.

The enemy’s leadership’s statements about forming local committees subservient to the occupation, and an international administration overseeing Gaza in partnership with the occupation, are nothing but a cover for continuation of the war. The enemy knows well that its goals are impossible to achieve.

The enemy should be well aware that “the day after” the war will be a day of collapse and defeat for the occupation and victory for the resistance. The soldiers of its army will find nothing in Gaza but death at the hands of its resistance, which will not be extinguished no matter how long the war and the aggression continue. No Palestinian party will cooperate with these projects, but it seems that the enemy has forgotten the defeat of its previous Village Associations project and similar schemes.

The enemy escalated its brutal attack during the last few days to a peak surpassing any previous period of the war, coinciding with the presentation of these goals, hoping that its allies and supporters of the aggression or mediators would offer them as a price for stopping its massacres against children, women, and hospitals in Gaza.

The Front warns any international or regional parties against any involvement in such projects. Any presence in Gaza under the occupation’s umbrella will be met only with bullets and fire.

The illusions of the enemy’s leaders will inevitably fall in the face of our people’s steadfastness, who have united in their complete rejection of all these projects and their brave readiness to resist them. This unity must evolve and be translated into a unified national struggle structure, leading our people’s struggle to defeat the occupation and end its cancerous project on the land of Palestine.

Note: The Village Associations project refers to the 1978 plan by the occupation to create an “alternative leadership” to the PLO under the guise of “developing” West Bank cities.
