Gaza – SABA:
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) stated on Tuesday that "the aggressive and racist statements made by the fascist, racist, and criminal Zionist minister Bezalel Smotrich — in which he openly called for the re-establishment of settlements in the Gaza Strip and claimed it as part of what he called 'the Land of Israel' — reflect the growing fascist and Judaization-oriented tendencies within the Israeli occupation government."
The Front emphasized that these remarks "confirm that the occupation is pressing forward with its colonial expansionist plans, not only in the occupied West Bank but also in the Gaza Strip."
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP added: "These remarks express the core of the criminal program of the occupation government and its ongoing war against the Palestinian people, their existence, and their land. It is a desperate attempt to legitimize ethnic cleansing and impose settler sovereignty over Gaza."
The statement further noted that such remarks are "part of a comprehensive plan to entrench the reality of occupation through genocide, starvation, control, and settlement — all under American involvement and blatant international complicity."
The PFLP stressed that "the Palestinian people — who have sacrificed thousands of martyrs, wounded, and prisoners in pursuit of national liberation — will continue to resist these settlement projects by all means of resistance, and will fiercely defend every inch of Palestinian land, as it is an unalienable right that cannot be taken away, regardless of the crimes, massacres, and schemes."
The Front called on "the masses of the Palestinian people and all national and social forces to achieve firm political and on-the-ground unity to confront these colonial plans."
It affirmed that "the response to Smotrich’s statements will be through increased resilience, clinging to the land, and escalating resistance across all areas under occupation until it is completely defeated and eradicated from our land."
Finally, the PFLP urged "the international community to assume its responsibilities, end the policy of double standards, and take a clear and firm stance against these dangerous plans that embolden the occupation to continue its Judaization and settlement projects and commit further acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and starvation against the Palestinian people."
