🇵🇸 Palestinian Factions


The Palestinian Factions convened an important national meeting today, Wednesday, April 24, 2024, amidst the ongoing zionist aggression against our people and the genocide war on the Gaza Strip. Given the zionist threats of a ground invasion of the densely populated Rafah governorate, home to over one and a half million displaced civilians facing catastrophic living conditions and subjected to relentless bombardment and massacres according to sinister zionist plans targeting the Palestinian presence and cause and, indeed, the entire region.

The genocide war waged by the zionist Nazi entity against people, trees, stones, and everything symbolizing the Palestinian identity throughout all Palestinian lands will not restore the prestige of its defeated army, which was defeated at the hands of the Palestinian resistance in the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle on October 7th.

Accordingly, the Palestinian factions affirm the following:

First: The U.S. administration and the Western community are fully responsible for any zionist ground invasion of Rafah, especially since there is complete coordination by the U.S. administration regarding the military plans to invade the city. Thus, these powers and international institutions will be complicit in any zionist crimes committed in the city, and they must bear the consequences of the upcoming zionist massacre.

Second: We warn of the catastrophic and humanitarian consequences of any ground aggression on Rafah, which would completely block the flow of aid to our people in the Strip through the Rafah crossing, the only remaining lifeline for our people facing an genocide war and starvation in unprecedented human history, witnessed by the entire world. The invasion will lead to major massacres against hundreds of thousands of civilians and the complete destruction of infrastructure.

Third: We warn of a comprehensive escalation and explosion that will impact and threaten the national security of the entire region, especially Egypt’s national security due to its geographical connection with the Gaza Strip, if the zionist enemy persists in its arrogance and aggression, and insists on the ground invasion of Rafah.

Fourth: We renew our message to the Arab and Islamic countries, free nations, and free peoples of the world everywhere on the necessity of adopting a practical and serious stance to stop the aggression, break the siege imposed on the Strip, and use the power and pressure available to counter any zionist threats of invading Rafah, calling on the Arab and Islamic masses and free peoples everywhere to take to the squares to denounce the ongoing zionist genocide and continue pressuring the official Arab, Islamic, and Western regimes to take responsibility in stopping the genocide war in Gaza and the massacres impacting hundreds of thousands of civilians in Rafah.

Fifth: We call on our people in the West Bank to rise up in a massive intifada denouncing the zionist threats of invading Rafah and continuing the genocide on the Strip and the ongoing aggression on all Palestinian land. We highly appreciate the great sacrifices made by our people in the West Bank, emphasizing the need for direct clashes with the occupation at all contact points, and turning the West Bank into a burning flame in the face of settlers and soldiers.

Sixth: We affirm that the resistance will not stand by idly; it is preparing for any scenario, including the invasion of Rafah, with all options open without exception to protect our people and thwart the occupation's plans, vowing to defend our people and counter the aggression with full force and responsibility, promising to teach the zionist enemy a lesson it will never forget.

Seventh: We affirm our national stance that there will be no agreements or exchange deals with the occupation except with a comprehensive ceasefire, a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, return of the displaced, sheltering and reconstruction, and the entry of aid and breaking of the siege. Any attempts by the occupation and its supporters to bypass the rights and legitimate demands of our people will not succeed.

Finally: To all who bet on breaking the will of our people and our resistance, and imposing your malicious agendas and plans on our people: You will be defeated and shattered against the rock of our people's resilience, bravery, steadfastness, and sacrifices; what your predecessors failed to achieve, you and your supporters will not be able to achieve, and tomorrow is indeed near to those who wait.
