Ramallah and Al-Bireh Forces Call to Confront Settler Terrorism by All Available Means and Protecting Residents is a National Duty

SadaNews - The national and Islamic forces in Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate emphasize the importance of working for the widest popular and public participation to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Nakba this year, amid the open extermination war faced by the Palestinian people from the occupying government, which continues its measures to uproot the Palestinian people from their land, completing the same brutal plan that was implemented in 1948 and what befell our people from ongoing Nakba. This is in the context of an open war targeting Palestinian camps, extending the extermination war against Gaza and the camps in the northern West Bank, with the aim of eliminating and erasing them, up to what happened in Qalandiya camp a few days ago. In accordance with the recommendations and decisions issued by the expanded meeting of the forces, popular frameworks, and camp committees within the National Committee for commemorating the Nakba at the headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the forces call for participation in the marches that will take place on 12/5 of this month. The central event will be in Ramallah and Al-Bireh, where it will start from the memorial of martyr Yasser Arafat towards the city center, raising black flags and Palestinian flags. Meanwhile, the siren for the memorial will sound at noon Palestine, confirming our people's adherence to their right to return to the homes from which they were displaced, and to implement Resolution 194, a right that is preserved by generations until it is realized and is non-negotiable or subject to discussion. Regarding the prisoners, the forces emphasize that this is a humanitarian conscience issue in light of the systematic and organized campaigns of abuse faced by female and male prisoners in the prisons of the occupation, including starvation, torture, and daily oppression that requires international will to hold the occupying power accountable for its crimes and prompt measures to stop the injustices against them from international human rights organizations, primarily the United Nations and its institutions. They also call for the abolition of the death penalty law and not allowing the occupation to implement it. The forces also confirm that in light of the escalating terrorism of settlers and repeated attacks on towns and villages, the burning of facilities and homes, and the raiding of livestock and farmers, all available means must be employed to thwart the plans of ethnic cleansing and to confront the terrorism of settler gangs collectively as a national and moral duty. They urge organizing broader campaigns and aid for villages and towns, and they call for imposing boycotts on the state of occupation and activating tools of international law to hold it accountable. Furthermore, they urge the World Council of Churches to take legal action following the attack on the French nun in occupied Jerusalem, which reveals the aggressive intentions of the occupation and the fascist decline that the government of occupation has reached, adding to the long record of massacres and assaults against the Palestinian people in front of the eyes and ears of the world without moving to curb these assaults aimed at implementing annexation plans, entrenching the status quo, and continuing the construction of colonial settlement on the expense of Palestinian land to empty it from its rightful owners. The forces reaffirm that the national program based on the right of return and self-determination, and national independence in a fully sovereign state in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and Gaza, cannot be conceded regardless of the cost. The shortest path to stability in the region does not pass through the brutal wars of the United States and Israel, and any arrangements to redraw the region must pass through the recognition of the national rights of the Palestinian people and empowering them to exercise these rights guaranteed by international legitimacy and its resolutions. They affirm that the legitimate struggle of our people to achieve these rights will not stop until they are fully achieved.
