Palestinian Resistance Factions Condemn the Zionist Aggression Against Iran

Hamas strongly condemns “israel’s” large-scale attack on Iran, calling it a dangerous escalation aimed at dragging the region into open conflict for the sake of zionist ambitions. The group expresses full solidarity with Iran and offers condolences for the martyrdom of senior figures, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, and nuclear scientists. Hamas affirms that Iran is being targeted for its support of Palestine and its independent stance, and it calls for unified resistance across the Muslim world. Hamas further emphasized that “israel” is the main enemy of the region and that confronting it is a collective, existential battle.

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine strongly condemns the “israeli” aggression on Iran, describing it as a dangerous escalation aimed at triggering open regional conflict. The PIJ expresses full solidarity with Iran, praises its resilience, and exalts the martyrdom of key Iranian figures, including IRGC commander Hossein Salami.

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemns the “israeli” attack on Iran, calling it cowardly, brutal, and backed by the United States. It expresses solidarity with Iran and exalts the martyrdom of high-ranking officials, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri. The Movement frames the attack as part of a broader war against the Muslim nation as “israel” and the U.S. are threatening regional and global peace.

The Ansarallah Political Bureau strongly condemns “israel’s” attack on Iran and asserts Iran’s full right to respond by all possible means. Ansarallah described the entity as a nuclear-armed, aggressive force that poses a threat to the entire region, as it is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in Palestine, Lebanon, and across the Arab world. Ansarallah defended and reiterated its support of Iran’s nuclear program and praised Iran for being the only Islamic state that has steadfastly supported the Palestinian cause. Ansarallah exalted the martyrs and offered heartfelt condolences to Iran’s leadership, government, and people for the loss of their leaders and scholars—martyrs who have sacrificed for their principles. Lastly, they called on the Muslim world to break its silence and unite in facing what it describes as a common threat from “israel”.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) condemns “israel’s” attack on Iran, and called it a terrorist act targeting civilian and military infrastructure. It blames the U.S. for enabling the aggression and warns that attempts to pressure Iran into abandoning its principles, rights, and sovereignty will fail. The PFLP expresses confidence in Iran’s ability to overcome the loss of its leaders and reaffirms full solidarity with the Iranian people and leadership. The Front reaffirmed its full solidarity with the Iranian people and leadership, stating that Iran—through its revolutionary legacy, unity, bold leadership, and long-standing resistance to zionism and colonialism—will respond and deter the aggressors. Lastly, it called on the international community to condemn the attack and urges global protests against the occupation and its backers.

Fatah Al-Intifada condemns “israel’s” attack on Iran and described it as a threat to regional security and a failed attempt to weaken resistance. It links the aggression to international silence, U.S. support and Western complicity. They offered condolences to Iran, and pledges full solidarity and continued struggle until the zionist entity is eliminated.

The Islamic Republic has consistently exercised restraint and avoided being dragged into “israeli” provocations and acts of aggression. It has responded positively to all international initiatives aimed at defusing the crisis, while firmly upholding its natural right to peaceful nuclear energy as a means for the advancement, development, and welfare of its people.

The enemy has crossed every red line, thinking it can change the equations. But it will soon realize that the great Iranian people will only grow more determined to uphold their legitimate natural rights and will defend their freedom, dignity, and independence with strength.

Hezbollah affirms that this aggression could not have occurred without direct American approval, coordination, and cover—though Washington now seeks to disavow responsibility in order to avoid its consequences. Hezbollah expresses its full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran—its leadership and people—in the face of this grave assault. It affirms that such acts of aggression will not weaken Iran but will only make it stronger, more resilient in confronting dangers, and more determined to defend its sovereignty and security.

Hezbollah extends its deepest condolences to His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei (may his shadow endure), to the President of the Republic, the Iranian government, the leadership of the Revolutionary Guard, and to the dear Iranian people for the loss of the noble martyrs who ascended in this treacherous attack. We ask God to envelop them in His vast mercy. Hezbollah affirms that these pure and sacred bloods will, by God’s will, bring nothing but ruin upon this criminal entity.

Deir Yassin: A Brutal Massacre Carried Out By Zionist Death Squads in 1948 Etched Into the Consciousness of Palestinians

Deir Yassin is why we resist—to reclaim our stolen village and avenge the blood of our martyrs. Throughout the storied history of Palestinian resistance, heroes vowed revenge in the name of Deir Yassin: resistance fighters killed 77 zionists in an operation four days after the 1948 massacre, the Deir Yassin Unit of Arab resistance fighters carried out an operation that killed 40 settlers under the command of martyr Dalal Al-Mughrabi in 1978, and the Deir Yassin Operation of 1972 was an internationalist feat of anti-imperialist resistance that shook the world.

The Deir Yassin Operation was launched 53 years ago today. Three Japanese comrades—Bassem, Salah, and Ahmed—joined forces with five Palestinian comrades to strike the zionist entity at its heart. Their real names were Tsuyoshi Okudaira, Yasuke Yasuda, and Kozo Okamoto, and they were members of the Japanese Red Army, which received weapons, training, and finances from the PFLP. They had trained in Lebanon, and all were students: Bassem of architecture, Salah of electrical engineering, Ahmed of botany, and all of revolution.

Their location of choice was the so-called “Lod Airport” (now “Ben-Gurion Airport”) in occupied Al-Lydd.  Known as quiet men, they quietly arrived from Paris at 10 PM, waited for their luggage—violin cases loaded with weapons, ammunition, and explosives—and carried out their revolutionary duty. By the time they were done with their operation, 26 zionists were left dead on the ground and 80 were wounded. Five Palestinian comrades fired outside the airport in support. Bassem was martyred after he ran out of ammunition, Salah blew himself up in a revolutionary act, and Ahmed (Kozo) went on to become a revolutionary icon after spending 13 years in solitary confinement in the zionist prisons.

In interrogation, Kozo declared that the operation was part of the global revolution against zionism and imperialism. He and the masterful tactician Dr. Wadie Haddad had planned it. In the attached video, PFLP founder Bassam Abu Sharif claims the operation on behalf of the PFLP, stating that it is a continuation of the PFLP’s line of “attacking the enemy wherever it hurts most” in reference to Wadie Haddad’s slogan “behind the enemy in every place.” After brutal psychological and physical torture, Kozo was freed in 1985 in the Ahmed Jibril prisoner exchange, and he went on to live his life in asylum in Lebanon after a troublesome period. Kozo was interviewed years later; he stated that he had hoped to be martyred during the operation, and when asked if he regretted anything: “I had no choice but to open fire in the name of armed struggle.”

Five weeks after the operation, the Mossad assassinated PFLP leader Ghassan Kanafani and his 17-year-old niece Lamees in Beirut in retribution for the Deir Yassin Operation. When the day comes, we will tell you Ghassan’s story.

Glory to the glorymakers, the internationalist revolutionaries who upheld the promise of resistance and global revolution. The echoes of Deir Yassin’s pain are reflected in the bullets of our comrades, the internationalist fighters united against imperialism who pledged to keep the memories of the martyrs and usurped villages alive.

The struggle for Palestinian liberation and the fight against zionism everywhere transcends borders. With every stone thrown, every bullet fired, and every zionist weapons company dismantled, our resistance honors our martyrs and struggle with every act of defiance until our lands are liberated of zionism and freed, from the river to the sea. We will never forget Deir Yassin, and we will never forget the bravery of those who committed themselves to liberation by any means necessary.

Remember Deir Yassin. Remember our heroes. For this—our joint struggle—is the legacy of Deir Yassin and our inheritance.

Palestinian Activist, Sanaa Daqqah, Arrested in Jerusalem

Sanaa Salameh Daqqah, widow of Walid Daqqah, was arrested at a military checkpoint in Jerusalem by Zionist occupation forces on Thursday. She now faces the possibility of having her citizenship revoked and being deported under a new law proposed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Earlier in the day, Ben-Gvir had threatened to strip Palestinians with Zionist citizenship from the territory occupied by the colonial state in 1948 of their citizenship if they are the families of imprisoned Palestinian fighters or if they receive funding from the Palestinian Authority’s Prisoners’ Affairs Commission. He noted that the State Attorney General’s Office approved the opening of an investigation against Sanaa Daqqah, citing as evidence posts on her social media commemorating her husband and other deceased Palestinian activists, as well as images of her family with Zakaria Zubeidi, a former leader of the armed resistance in Jenin who befriended Walid Daqqah in prison.

Her late husband, Walid Daqqa, was a Palestinian writer and political prisoner who participated in the armed struggle against the occupation as a member of the PFLP. He died in Ramleh Prison on April 7, 2024, after 38 years of imprisonment. Walid’s remains remain in occupation custody. Sanaa and Walid are the parents of Milad, their little girl, born thanks to sperm smuggled out of prison in 2020. Sanaa’s arrest leaves Milad without her parents.

The American-Zionist “Aid-Distribution Centers” Are Mass Death Traps: PFLP

From the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's perspective.
"According to the PFLP, the enemy camp is a triad: The Israeli Entity (Zionist movement), global imperialism, and Arab reactionaries"
It goes on to question past and present strategy
"... it is our duty to support these three tools: global pressure, the fortified front in Yemen, and Gaza’s unbreakable resilience"

https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/19298/

Behind the Enemy Everywhere: Return of Palestinian External Ops?

In 1971, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) published an issue of its journal Al-Hadaf, dedicating its second edition to the topic ‘The PFLP and External Operations.’ The piece explored the Front’s rationale and its responses to the varied reactions surrounding the operations it had launched since July 1968. Operations that included hijackings and bombing Israeli companies and embassies across Europe.

The Front’s response focused on its fundamental principles, chiefly, the nature and definition of the enemy. According to the PFLP, the enemy camp is a triad: The Israeli Entity (Zionist movement), global imperialism, and Arab reactionaries. This, the Front argued, was a precise diagnosis of the conflict. Consequently, it maintained that targeting the enemy should not be restricted by geography, since the enemy itself had made the entire world a battlefield.

The second pillar of the PFLP’s reasoning concerned media and mobilization: external operations, far from tarnishing the Palestinian cause, were in fact a form of revolutionary media that forced the world to listen to the Palestinians. “These operations,” the pamphlet stated, “are revolutionary propaganda that pulls out the wax from European ears.” During that period, the media dimension was central to the fedayeen who carried out such missions. In the collective will and testament of the martyrs of the 1972 Munich operation, the fighters wrote: “We hope our revolutionary action will help the world grasp the grotesque reality of the Zionist occupation in our land. Our revolutionary method aims to expose Zionist-imperialist ties.”

The martyrs, and the Front, were right. These operations functioned as screams against a near-total Zionist grip over global media. For Palestinians and Arabs living under suffocating silence, these missions were screams embodied in flesh and blood. As martyr Nizar Banat once put it: “In the 1970s, Palestinians struck hard, and the world sympathized. It sympathized when we struck back.”

The martyrs, and the Front, were right. These operations functioned as screams against a near-total Zionist grip over global media

Today’s reality is not far from the logic the PFLP once laid out. In fact, the enemy camp, with its Zionist, imperialist, and reactionary Arab lackeys, has never been more bloodthirsty. The media logic also remains sound: armed resistance is still the most potent form of revolutionary media. What has changed, however, is that new communications tools have enabled armed struggle within occupied Palestine to become the primary focus. For those who believe that today’s narrative shift in our favor is due to a global moral awakening in the face of genocide: imagine for a moment if the resistance in Gaza were to surrender, if the Israeli army marched in and handed the Strip over to the Palestinian Authority. How would the narrative look then, especially if written by collaborators with the occupation?

The rise of the “red triangle” marks a historic shift: for the first time, we are witnessing widespread admiration and respect for armed resistance, perhaps even more than the Viet Cong or Algeria’s FLN once received. Even amid vast ideological differences among Palestine supporters (and among Palestinians and Arabs themselves) “they are all red triangles,” as one friend put it. What the resistance’s ambushes protect is the Zionists’ worst nightmare: our unique and unbroken fusion of heroism and victimhood—a paradox that we express without contradiction. In this same vein, the operations in Yemen echo the historical model of “external operations.” If a bomb planted in the late 1960s at the ZIM Shipping Company’s office in London symbolized external targeting, then Yemen’s strikes today hit the company’s nerve center.

But our central and most pressing issue remains this: shifts in narratives, no matter how strategically important, do not stop a genocide. While Yemen has successfully confronted the US and harmed their interests, it has not yet succeeded in forcing the enemy to cease its extermination campaign. Returning to the PFLP’s handbook, its strategic guidance is worth recalling: “We must adopt the principle of adapting to the objective conditions of the battle, to the nature of the enemy and its tools.”

Hence, despite the anguish and rage, imagine that decades from now we ask ourselves: how did the Zionist bastards massacre us so thoroughly? How were we not “behind the enemy everywhere”?

Still, this question demands strategic analysis. One of the lessons from PFLP’s literature is the importance of debating strategy, something the resistance movements have often lacked in an era poisoned by fanfare and blind glorification, with devastating consequences. Ironically, the same booklet warned of the enemy’s ability to “sway those high on sectarianism, regionalism, or personal gain” (noting that “sectarianism” then referred more to factionalism than today’s usage).

This is a thorny issue. One could argue, with good reason, that such operations today might backfire, reviving Zionist propaganda that frames its war as an extension of the global “War on Terror.” This could also deepen western involvement in the efforts to exterminate us. Additionally, the fantasy that western powers will intervene to stop the genocide out of concern for their own internal stability is a weak and unlikely scenario. One thing is non-negotiable, however: targeting soldiers and settlers on Arab land and in normalizing Arab states is not only legitimate, it’s long overdue.

In this bleak chapter of our struggle, we have three immediate goals: stop the war, end the occupation of Gaza, and lift the siege. Achieving them means breaking the Israeli right wing and Netanyahu himself. But domestically, there’s no viable Zionist “division” to exploit; Netanyahu still commands a solid majority. His assassination, in this stage, would be both decisive and beneficial. Yet the real pressure point lies outside, within the US administration and, specifically, in the figure of Donald Trump. The key question, then, is how to force the Americans to put a leash on their rabid dog.

Hence, despite the anguish and rage, imagine that decades from now we ask ourselves: how did the Zionist bastards massacre us so thoroughly? How were we not “behind the enemy everywhere”?

Two years into this war, we don’t have many tools left, and due to miscalculations, we’ve mishandled the ones we did possess. What remains is the global pressure born of Zionist genocidal violence: its impact on media narratives and public opinion. But even this tool is limited. While genocide may have spurred global revulsion towards Zionism, it has paradoxically instilled fear, leading to cowardly retreats and survivalist instincts. The impact of this tool, though measurable in small shifts in public opinion, is unreliable and too slow. Time is made of blood and children’s limbs, and the Americans and Zionists have already accepted the cost of bad PR. They’ve doubled down.

Our next tool is Yemen, which continues to perform admirably. One of its most revolutionary traits is the relentless search for any way to exert pressure. The rage and urgency that shape its decision-making are signs of real revolutionary will. It is admittedly true that the blood of its leaders boils at every image coming out of Gaza.

The last tool is Gaza’s own endurance, and the legendary ability of its fighters to hurt the enemy. Zionism faces a strategic dilemma here: it has failed to fracture Gaza’s internal cohesion or create rifts between its people and the resistance. Even those who oppose Hamas know they share the same fate. Both sides know that their only salvation lies in the release of the captives. And as for us, who among us has the heart to look Gazans in the eye and say: hold on a little longer?

Within this strategic diagnosis, it is our duty to support these three tools: global pressure, the fortified front in Yemen, and Gaza’s unbreakable resilience. Support can come in words, funds, and perseverance, similar to that of Yemen’s. If the long-term answer to what is to be done? lies in reactivating the tools of the Second Intifada, then the urgent question of the moment is: Will Netanyahu’s madness trigger the reawakening of the tools that preceded it? Even if it takes the form of senseless violence in the face of total deadlock?

one of the weirder incidents I've seen, from mid 2017

#Hamas + #PFLP vs #ISIS competing to claim the same attack

and it does describe it as a claim by "حركة حماس" (Hamas movement) not the militant wing, which is slightly weird in Arabic, but maybe not on #France24

or possibly the government actually did say something, given Gaza's police were involved in crackdown on ISIS? but this is before that got heated?

Trump is Promoting Satanic Ideas to Displace Our People in Gaza… Our People Will Remain in Their Homeland and Will Not Leave: PFLP

Either Palestine… or Fire[hell], Generation After Generation: PFLP

In the face of the renewed Nakba… we resist, we unite, and we move toward return and liberation.

To the masses of our steadfast people in the homeland and diaspora…
To the free people of our Arab nation…
To the free people of the world everywhere…

On May 15th, we mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, our open wound that has not healed, and a painful turning point in human history, when zionist gangs, with the full support of colonial powers, committed one of the most horrific crimes of the modern era: the systematic ethnic cleansing of our Palestinian people, their displacement, the destruction of hundreds of cities and villages, and the planting of a racist settler entity on the ruins of our homeland.

The Nakba represented a pivotal moment in the history of our people, a profound revelation of the nature of the zionist project as a racist, colonialist, and uprooting tool aimed at erasing Palestinian national identity and existence, seizing land, and displacing the Palestinian people. Since that moment, the chapters of the Nakba have not ceased, but have continued in renewed forms of killing, massacres, expulsion, discrimination, impoverishment, and siege.

Today, the Nakba is being replayed in a more bloody and barbaric form in the Gaza Strip, where our people are subjected to a genocide war unprecedented in modern history. The occupation machine is carrying out the most heinous forms of killing, destruction, starvation, and displacement. Hospitals, schools, and displacement camps are being bombed amidst a stifling siege, international complicity, international silence, and direct American partnership.

On this painful anniversary, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, while commemorating the steadfastness of our people across the homeland and in exile, from Gaza to the West Bank, from Al-Quds to the 1948 territories, and from the diaspora camps to forced exile, affirms the following:

First: Our conflict with the zionist entity is a comprehensive, historic struggle that will only be resolved by achieving our people’s full national rights, at the heart of which are the right of return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all Palestinian soil with Al-Quds as its capital. The Palestinian cause will remain the core of the Arab-zionist conflict until the roots of the Nakba are eradicated and the occupation ends.

Second: The true response to the Nakba and its repercussions is to build a unified resistance front and formulate a comprehensive national strategy that embraces resistance in all its forms, with armed struggle at its forefront. This strategy reaffirms the PLO as a comprehensive and unified national framework, based on partnership and democracy and in accordance with national consensus decisions. This strategy aims to block the path to monopolization and hegemony, harness the energies of our people wherever they reside, and enable them to express their will to resist the occupation until liberation and return.

Third: In light of these ongoing chapters of crime, the top priority today is to stop the genocide war against our people in the Gaza Strip, end their suffering, break the siege, begin reconstruction, and embark on a political path based on the inalienable national rights of our people.

Fourth: We warn against attempts to impose renewed “Nakba” under the guise of expansionist colonialist liquidation projects such as the “Abraham Accords,” a “New Middle East,” and other dubious schemes aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.

Fifth: Confronting attempts to liquidate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is of paramount importance in light of zionist-American plans aimed at erasing the refugee issue and the right of return.Targeting UNRWA in Gaza—through the destruction of its facilities and staff, the closure of its institutions in Al-Quds, and the prevention of its operations in the West Bank is part of a systematic plan to liquidate the refugee issue.

Sixth: We renew our call for complete liberation from the Oslo Accords and its consequences, ending the PA’s obligations resulting from them, halting security coordination and all forms of persecution of the resistance, reversing all dangerous and arbitrary decisions regarding allocations for the families of martyrs, prisoners, the wounded, and the freed, severing all forms of dependence on American-zionist projects, and moving towards building a unified arena of struggle that expresses the free will of the Palestinian people.

Seventh: The masses of our nation, its intellectuals, and its vital forces must rise up to support our struggle and confront the genocide war against our people. They must reject all forms of normalization with the zionist enemy, and confront the project of neo-colonial hegemony and plans to fragment the region.

Eighth: We salute with reverence the steadfastness of the brotherly Yemeni people, who have faced aggression and blockade for years. Today, they continue—through their courageous positions and popular and official initiatives—to provide support for our cause and affirm our unity of destiny and struggle by imposing new deterrent equations that extend deep into the zionist entity in support of Gaza. We also salute the valiant Lebanese resistance, which has been and continues to be a solid supporter of our people and resistance, a partner in the battle to defend Palestine, and a confirmation of the cohesion of the resistance fronts in the face of the zionist project.

Ninth: We highly appreciate the cries of solidarity that have risen from the streets and universities of Washington, London, Madrid, Brussels, Johannesburg, and all the capitals and cities of the world in support of Gaza, in rejection of the aggression, and in support of our people’s just rights. The rise of international solidarity constitutes an advanced front in the battle to stop the war, break the siege, expose the crimes of the occupation, and hold it accountable at the international level.

🔻The masses of our people… O sons of our Arab nation… O free people of the world…

On the anniversary of the Nakba, we renew our pledge to our people, to the souls of our martyrs, to our prisoners, and to our wounded, that the Popular Front will remain a voice of truth, a shield of resistance, a guardian of national principles, and a staunch defender of the right of return, which is neither forfeited nor negotiable. As the wise George Habash said: “We cannot guarantee the future of our generations while the zionist disease remains on Arab land.”

Greetings to our resistant people in all arenas.
Greetings to our male and female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons.

Glory and immortality to the martyrs… and we will inevitably be victorious.

PFLP Holds the Occupation Fully Responsible for the Life of Comrade Secretary-General Ahmad Sa’adat

We hold the occupation fully responsible for the life of Comrade Secretary-General Ahmad Sa’adat — the targeting of leaders of the prisoners’ movement is a dangerous escalation.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) holds the zionist occupation, its fascist war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and its fascist and racist Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir fully and directly responsible for the life of the Front’s Secretary-General, Comrade Ahmad Sa’adat, who is facing extremely dangerous health and humanitarian conditions in isolation cells at “Megiddo” Prison, especially following a brutal attack and abuse during his recent transfer.

What the Secretary-General is being subjected to is a deliberate zionist crime, part of a systematic and dangerous escalation targeting the leaders of the prisoners’ movement, aiming to physically and psychologically eliminate them through medical neglect, torture, abuse, isolation, and systematic starvation.

The Front warns of the continuation of this targeting, which has also affected Political Bureau member and head of the Prison Branch, Comrade Ahed Abu Ghalama, who was recently transferred to Gilboa Prison under harsh conditions, along with several prominent prisoners from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front. These include leaders such as Hassan Salameh, Abdullah Al-Barghouthi, Ibrahim Hamed, and others who are being subjected to an unprecedented campaign of abuse and torture.

The Front reaffirms its commitment — along with the resistance forces — to spare no effort and to offer all necessary sacrifices to liberate all prisoners, foremost among them Secretary-General Ahmad Sa’adat and his fellow leaders, and to end their ongoing suffering in the occupation’s prisons.

The Front calls on the masses of our Palestinian people, all active forces in the homeland and diaspora, all freedom-loving people around the world, and international human rights and humanitarian organizations to take urgent and effective action, and to participate in the broadest solidarity campaign with the prisoners. The goal is to pressure the occupation to stop these serious crimes, save the lives of the prisoners, and expose these practices to global public opinion.

PFLP Condemns Collaborationism

The occupation bears full responsibility for the chaos.
We warn against exploiting our people’s suffering and call for the formation of popular guard committees to protect the home front.

In light of the catastrophic circumstances afflicting our people in the Gaza Strip—brought about by the intensifying zionist war of genocide, the siege, and deliberate starvation, and the resulting dire humanitarian, economic, and security fallout—the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine warns of the dangerous rise in disorder, lawlessness, attacks on property, and intimidation of citizens across the Strip. These behaviors are inseparable from the zionist scheme to dismantle our unity, fracture our national and social cohesion, and plunge our internal arena into chaos and division in a desperate attempt to break our steadfastness and will.

While the Front condemns these phenomena in the strongest terms, it places full responsibility on the zionist occupation, which has created this tragic reality through bombing, destruction, a systematic policy of siege and starvation, and its ongoing targeting of civilians, institutions, and security forces—all in an overt bid to undermine the home front and erode our people’s resilience.

The Front reiterates its full support for Gaza’s security forces in pursuing outlaws and collaborators with the occupation and condemns the zionist targeting of police personnel. It calls for resolute action against these criminals through the united efforts of all segments of our people.

Accordingly, the PFLP calls for the establishment of popular guard committees throughout the Strip—drawing on national and social bodies, community figures, and youth—to safeguard public and private property, relief and service institutions, reinforce societal security, foil any attempts to foment chaos or internal strife, and confront infiltration by occupation agents or criminals.

The Front highly appreciates the stance of patriotic Palestinian families who have honorably opposed such disorder, rejected any conduct that threatens communal security and civil peace, and expressed full readiness to cooperate with the relevant authorities to protect internal stability. This popular consciousness is the true safety valve for our unity.

At the same time, the PFLP warns that some large merchants, influential figures, and businesspeople are exploiting the situation for personal gain—hoarding basic goods, hiking prices, and profiteering from money transfers at exorbitant rates. Such practices are no less dangerous than security chaos; they represent another face of exploitation and deepen citizens’ suffering. The Front therefore demands strict measures to hold anyone proven to be manipulating people’s livelihoods to account.

The present moment, with all its challenges, requires every force, sector, and component of our people to rise to the level of national responsibility and close ranks against these conspiracies. Protecting the home front, strengthening social solidarity, and standing with the afflicted and marginalized are national and moral duties—the first line of defense for our people.

The Front also stresses that what is unfolding in Gaza does not absolve the Arab nation of its responsibilities; rather, it compels it to meet its pan-Arab and humanitarian obligations toward our besieged people, to act swiftly to break the blockade, halt the massacres, and provide tangible support in the face of this open genocide backed by the United States and the West.

Glory to our resistant people and to our righteous martyrs.
Shame and disgrace to all who serve the occupation or profit from our people’s pain.

Zionists Attack Humanitarian Flotilla With Drone Strike, Resistance Condemns War Crime

A Gaza Freedom Flotilla vessel was attacked with a drone strike in international waters off the coast of Malta, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition reported, as Palestinians in Gaza face mass starvation and a mounting death toll from child malnutrition.

The civilian ship, Conscience, was carrying life-saving humanitarian aid to the besieged enclave when it was struck by drones shortly after midnight Maltese time on Friday, May 2.

The attack, which took place on the morning they were scheduled to depart, triggered an SOS distress signal. According to the coalition, 30 international human rights activists were aboard the unarmed civilian vessel, part of a nonviolent mission to break the Zionist regime’s siege on Gaza.

Yasemin Acar, press officer for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, confirmed to CNN that armed drones hit the ship twice, targeting the front of the vessel and causing a substantial breach in the hull. A fire erupted on board, and the ship began to sink. “There is a hole in the vessel right now, and the ship is sinking,” Acar said.

Acar added that the ship’s generator appeared to have been deliberately targeted, leaving the vessel without power. Video footage released by the coalition showed flames and smoke engulfing the ship, while separate clips captured the sound of explosions. “Our vessel is 17 kilometers off the shores of Malta right now in international waters, and they have been subjected to a drone attack twice,” she said.

Although a small boat from southern Cyprus responded to the distress call, it was reportedly unable to provide the critical electrical support needed to stabilize the vessel.

Activists from 21 countries on board

The Conscience had been preparing to set sail under a media blackout, a precaution taken by the coalition to avoid potential Zionist sabotage. Volunteers from more than 21 countries, including notable public figures, had traveled to Malta to participate in the mission.

Coalition activist Caoimhe Butterly confirmed via Instagram that the attack occurred before a second group of 40 international volunteers, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, was due to board the ship. “All on land are safe, and those on board are not injured, thankfully, but the response needs to be mobilised to the SOS call,” she wrote.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is an international network of activists working to challenge the occupation’s blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid directly to the enclave through peaceful, direct action. Their mission has become increasingly urgent as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens amid the ongoing Zionist genocide.

Since March 2, 2025, the regime has completely halted all aid truck deliveries into Gaza, effectively starving more than two million Palestinians. Humanitarian experts estimate that at least 600 aid trucks per day are required to meet minimum survival needs in Gaza. None have been permitted to enter in more than two months.

Maritime obligations ignored as Malta fails to respond

The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Rome said that a tugboat had been sent to the scene, but the coalition said it could not verify whether it had reached the Conscience, as all communication was lost after the drone attack.

Under international maritime law, Malta is obligated to respond to vessels in distress in its maritime vicinity. The coalition condemned what it described as a failure by Maltese authorities to uphold these responsibilities, calling the lack of a timely response a violation of international customary law.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition issued a series of urgent demands on its website, calling on Malta and the international community to:

• Ensure the immediate safety and rescue of all individuals aboard the Conscience
• Publicly condemn the attack on the unarmed humanitarian aid vessel
• End all political, military, and financial support for the Zionist regime’s siege, occupation, and apartheid policies
• Mobilize civil society to pressure Maltese authorities and ensure accountability

The coalition further demanded that Zionist ambassadors be summoned and held accountable for what it called repeated violations of international law, including the bombing of a civilian ship in international waters.

Pattern of targeting Gaza-bound aid missions

While the Freedom Flotilla Coalition did not explicitly name the regime in its initial public statement, the context, method, and timing of the attack strongly implicate the Zionist entity as the likely perpetrator.

The use of drones, the targeting of Gaza-bound humanitarian missions, and the consistent pattern of intercepting flotillas all point to the occupation’s enforcement strategy to prevent aid from reaching the enclave.

This incident adds to growing international concern over the safety of humanitarian workers and the blatant obstruction of aid to a population facing famine, disease, forcible displacement, and relentless bombing.

Palestinian and Regional Resistance condemn war crime

Palestinian and regional factions condemned the the occupation’s attack today on the Al-Dameer (Conscience) ship of the Freedom Flotilla.

Hezbollah considered the attack a flagrant violation of international laws, norms, and humanitarian values. Hezbollah stated that this crime “would not have occurred without the blatant American support for this temporary entity, the shameful international complicity, and the shameful Arab silence regarding the war of genocide.”

PFLP Statement On May 1st – International Workers’ Day

To the free people of the world… Unite against barbarism
Palestinian workers in the heart of fire. The fuel of national and liberation struggle

To the masses of our great people,
To the brave workers of Palestine,
To the free people of the world everywhere,

On International Workers’ Day—a day on which the world stands in tribute to the heroes of the working class, the makers of life, those who sow hope with their sweat and write with their effort and patience the epic of struggle for dignity, justice, and freedom—this occasion in Palestine becomes a moment of loyalty to the toiling martyrs, whose blood was shed in workshops, factories, farms, in queues at checkpoints, and beneath the rubble of demolished homes. It is a day to renew the covenant with the Palestinian working class, which has always stood at the forefront, leading in the arenas of production and resistance.

The Palestinian working class has long formed the vanguard of national and social struggle, standing firm in the face of occupation and genocide despite official neglect. On this occasion, we salute the workers of Palestine and the martyrs of the labor movement, especially working women who bear the burden of struggle and discrimination. We also value the positions of free trade unionists around the world who oppose normalization and occupation. We affirm our alignment with the global working class in the confrontation against capitalism and colonialism.

To the working class across the world… To our struggling workers… To our great people:

This year’s Workers’ Day comes amidst the height of zionist targeting of all segments of our people—foremost among them the working class—who have been struck hardest by the systematic destruction of the national economy and forced dependency on the zionist economy, amid rampant poverty, unemployment, and the collapse of the labor system. Since October 7, 2023, the Gaza Strip has faced a barbaric assault that destroyed economic infrastructure, martyred thousands of workers, demolished hundreds of facilities, and raised unemployment to over 80%. In the West Bank, workers have become constant targets at checkpoints and are forced to work in settlements. Palestinian workers inside the 1948 lands are denied union rights, while those in the diaspora face marginalization and unemployment. Yet despite these wounds, Palestinian workers continue their struggle and steadfastness in the face of occupation and deprivation.

On this Workers’ Day, and at this historic moment in which our people are facing a genocidal war that targets human beings, land, and national resources—striking at the heart of the productive and working society—against this criminal aggression led by this rogue entity with the support of imperialist powers, the PFLP affirms the following:

1. Victory for the Palestinian worker, and the defense of their life, dignity, and rights, is not only a national and moral duty but also a fundamental gateway to comprehensive national and social liberation.

2. Any discourse on Workers’ Day that does not begin with confronting the genocide against our people and standing with the working class in the fields of daily struggle is an empty discourse that does not represent the interests of the toilers nor align with their struggles.

3. We call on the global trade union movement, in all its spectrums and orientations, to stand firmly with the workers of Palestine. Unions around the world have proven capable of disrupting the machinery of aggression through boycotts, strikes, and political pressure. Today, you bear a heightened responsibility to act to stop the war, enforce international isolation of the zionist entity, which is committing documented war crimes against workers and civilians, and take a clear stance by boycotting the Histadrut, a key arm of the occupation.

4. There is an urgent need to launch a national economic resilience plan to support the working class in overcoming the consequences of the genocidal war and zionist policies. This plan must be based on local production, reduce dependency, and combat poverty and unemployment.

5. The Palestinian labor movement must be rebuilt on democratic and genuinely representative foundations through fair and transparent elections for the General Federation of Trade Unions, based on proportional representation and the inclusion of all unions—leading to a truly representative union body, not a union of one party or one person.

6. It is the responsibility of official bodies to swiftly form emergency labor committees in every location in Gaza and the West Bank to support those affected by the ongoing aggression and its catastrophic consequences.

7. We call for the establishment of a national, Arab, and international fund to support workers in Gaza and the West Bank, in light of the occupation’s destruction of infrastructure and labor sectors, which has pushed the overwhelming majority of workers into unemployment.

8. There is a need to pass laws and collective agreements that safeguard labor rights and establish a fair minimum wage.

9. We must strengthen alliances with global trade unions and build an international front to isolate and boycott the zionist entity at all levels.

Free people of the world, unite… against barbarism!
Salute to the workers of Palestine… the messengers of the earth, the shield of the revolution, the hammer of change, and the builders of tomorrow.

Salute to those martyred while working… and to those who continue working despite hunger.

Glory to the martyrs… glory to the resistance… freedom to the prisoners… a speedy recovery to the wounded… glory to Palestine from the river to the sea.
