Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: We warn against the occupation government’s attempt to expand the aggression on the Gaza Strip and exploit the genocide and the suffering of Palestinians in election propaganda to serve Netanyahu’s efforts to escalate and shed Palestinian blood in service of outbidding between war criminals among the poles of the Zionist system.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

▪ We warn against the occupation government’s attempt to expand the aggression on the Gaza Strip and exploit the genocide and the suffering of Palestinians in election propaganda to serve Netanyahu’s efforts to escalate and shed Palestinian blood in service of outbidding between war criminals among the poles of the Zionist system.

▪ Statements by the Israeli war minister, the head of the Shin Bet, and those previously made by Netanyahu aim to prepare international public opinion for expanding the aggression and justifying it under the claim of self-defense in the face of plans being woven by the occupation security apparatus.

▪ The escalations in raids, assassinations, and demolitions near the yellow line indicate that these measures are entering into force gradually.

▪ We affirm that the commitment of the resistance forces to the ceasefire agreement, which the mediators and the relevant international parties are aware of, and the occupation’s statements are seen as open justifications for aggression and for evading commitments.

▪ We affirm that ethnic cleansing, genocide, and demographic dismantling in the Strip through displacement and killing those who reject it are still on the occupation government’s agenda.

▪ So far, the ceasefire agreement has not constituted a real constraint on these plans amid the continued bias of the Peace Council toward the occupation.

▪ We see that the American justification for the aggression and the evasion of ceasefire and roadmap commitments under the pretext of elections gives the occupation a mandate to expand the aggression and continue the genocide.

▪ We call on the mediators and international institutions to take firm steps to thwart these plans and compel the occupation to implement the ceasefire and not turn the blood, suffering of Palestinians, and the destruction in Gaza into tools for outbidding.

▪ We also call on the forces friendly to the Palestinian people and the global movement against genocide to intensify their activities and struggle to stop the ongoing genocide and not to be satisfied with a ceasefire, for the genocide continues through daily killing and the siege, and the occupation is moving ahead in escalating it.
