Palestinian Resistance Rejects Israeli Aggression and External Interference
Toronto, March 30, 2024
On the occasion of the 48th anniversary of Land Day, the Palestinian Resistance and political groups issued a militant statement which underscored their unwavering commitment to resistance amidst Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
The Follow-up Committee for the National and Islamic Forces, a gathering of Palestinian Resistance forces, issued a statement on Land Day reiterating that no decision can be imposed on the Palestinian people or "supersede the Palestinian will."
"The 48th anniversary of the eternal Land Day comes amidst the ongoing Zionist aggression (...) and during the blessed Al-Aqsa Flood battle, where the Palestinian resistance created a strategic shift in the struggle with the Zionist occupation and the forces of global evil," the statement says.
The Committee congratulated "the legendary firmness and steadfastness of our people over more than 100 years" and extended their salute to "our brave and courageous resistance that continues to create miracles, strike the Zionist enemy, and resist it everywhere."
The statement reiterates the urgent call for an immediate cessation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. The organizations urged Palestinians, along with the broader Arab, Islamic, and global communities, to escalate resistance against the occupying forces and their supporters worldwide.
The united Committee categorically rejected any "agreement or exchange deal with the occupation except with a comprehensive halt to the aggression, return of the displaced, full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, shelter and reconstruction, breaking the siege, opening the crossings, and delivering aid."
Addressing recent proposals regarding the deployment of international or Arab forces in Gaza, the united Resistance dismissed such initiatives as "mere illusion and mirage." The statement reads, "Any force entering the Gaza Strip is rejected, unaccepted, it is an occupying force, and we will treat it as such." It added that the Palestinian resistance appreciates "the stance of Arab countries that refused participation and cooperation with the occupation leaders' proposal."
The statement warned against external interference in the national unity and self-determination of the Palestinian people. "Managing the Palestinian reality is a national Palestinian internal affair we will not allow anyone to interfere in, and all attempts to create alternative administrations that circumvent the will of the Palestinian people will die before their birth," the statement read.
"On Land Day, we affirm that Palestinian blood will remain a living witness to the greatness of the Palestinian land and our just cause and adherence to our rights in it," the statement added.
"These sacrifices will be the fuel of victory, freedom, independence, and the establishment of the Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital," the statement concluded.
