- The Palestinian people’s right to resist by all means, including armed struggle, as affirmed by the United Nations.

- Denouncing international complicity, especially from certain Western governments and media outlets that justify or conceal the crimes against Palestinians.
- A call for the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, an end to military operations, and the unconditional release of all Palestinian detainees.
