The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) emphasized that ending the ongoing Israeli occupation genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and lifting the blockade are urgent national priorities. The group called for intensified national and international efforts to thwart plans for forced displacement and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.
During its regular meeting, the PFLP’s Political Bureau reviewed the latest political and field developments, highlighting the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza enclave amid systematic Israeli occupation policies of destruction and starvation. These crimes are unfolding alongside escalating settler violence, land confiscation, and daily raids across the West Bank and Jerusalem, as well as harsh repression of Palestinian prisoners.
The Front extended its salute to the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and inside the 1948 territories for their steadfastness and resistance. It also honored the Palestinian prisoners, especially the PFLP’s Secretary-General Ahmad Sa’adat, and praised the unified efforts of the Palestinian resistance and global solidarity movements standing with Palestine.
The PFLP warned of Israel’s incremental “bite and divide” strategy in Gaza, supported by unconditional U.S. backing and international complicity. This includes re-occupying over 30% of the Gaza Strip, cutting off areas like Rafah from Khan Younis, seizing agricultural land and water sources, and deliberately destroying survival infrastructure. The group described these actions as part of a broader plan to strangle and forcibly displace Palestinians in a renewed attempt to erase the Palestinian presence from Gaza.
In the West Bank, the PFLP denounced Israel’s campaign of annexation, settler expansion, home demolitions, and the fragmentation of Palestinian territory into isolated cantons. It also condemned the ongoing attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites, particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Ibrahimi Mosque, as part of a systematic Judaization strategy.
The PFLP asserted that confronting these genocidal policies requires ending the war on Gaza and breaking the siege as an urgent national priority, through all available means and efforts, to defeat the Israeli goal of mass displacement and erasure.
It also called for rebuilding Palestinian national unity by restructuring the political system and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on democratic and inclusive foundations. The group reaffirmed its commitment to dialogue with Fatah and all Palestinian factions but stated that participating in the upcoming Palestinian Central Council meeting would not serve the national interest.
The Front advocated for forming a new Palestinian National Council with broad representation, guided by genuine national partnership and a unified resistance strategy. It stressed the importance of establishing a unified national leadership for popular resistance to counter settlement expansion, geographic fragmentation, and the destruction of Palestinian refugee camps — especially in the northern West Bank — as part of attempts to dismantle the right of return and defund UNRWA.
The PFLP reaffirmed the right to armed resistance, protected by international law, and called for a unified national strategy to safeguard this right from external pressures and internal divisions.
It rejected “voluntary” displacement plans promoted by the occupation through psychological warfare and media manipulation, and refused all forms of resettlement or naturalization outside Palestine.
Regarding Gaza’s governance, the Front stressed that Gaza is an internal Palestinian matter. It proposed either forming a unity government or, if that is not possible, operating a temporary civil body — such as the Egypt-backed societal support committee — under the umbrella of the Palestinian Authority, without being constrained by Israel’s military presence or factional disputes.
The PFLP expressed appreciation for Egypt’s role in rejecting forced displacement and pushing for an end to Israel’s aggression, as well as its support for Palestinian rights and principles.
The group rejected normalization with Israel, piecemeal deals, and foreign interventions aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause. It affirmed that the path to regional stability lies in implementing international resolutions, including the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the right of return for refugees, through a fully authorized UN-sponsored international conference.
Finally, the PFLP condemned Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Syria, aimed at occupying land and enforcing U.S.-Israeli interests, and urged unified resistance efforts in both countries backed by Arab liberation movements. It saluted Yemen’s courageous stance in solidarity with Gaza, noting the Yemeni people’s steadfast support despite the harsh siege and aggression they themselves endure.
