The Central Command of the Palestinian Forces Alliance called for the broadest possible global solidarity movement with the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of this month, under the slogan “Save Gaza, Stop the Aggression, the Siege, and the Starvation.”
In light of the escalating humanitarian tragedy endured by the residents of the Gaza Strip due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, the suffocating siege, and the policies of starvation and systematic destruction, and the killing, displacement, and deprivation of basic necessities to which the population is subjected—a humanitarian catastrophe worsening with the onset of winter—the leadership of the Forces called upon the Palestinian masses, the Arab and Islamic nations, and all freedom-loving and progressive forces worldwide to launch a broad popular and international movement in support of Gaza and to end the suffering of its people.
It emphasized that the continued siege, the closure of crossings, the prevention of the entry of humanitarian aid, food, medical supplies, and fuel, and the targeting of essential infrastructure and basic necessities constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and place the international community before its political, moral, and legal responsibilities toward the Palestinian people.
It demanded an end to the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, the lifting of the siege, the permanent opening of the crossings, and the guarantee of the unrestricted flow of humanitarian, relief, medical, and fuel aid.
It also called upon the United Nations, international institutions, and humanitarian and human rights organizations to take immediate action to fulfill their responsibilities, protect civilians, provide for the basic needs of our people, and hold accountable those responsible for the crimes and violations committed against them.
It further called upon Arab and Islamic governments, as well as governments worldwide, to take immediate and practical steps to pressure for a cessation of the aggression and an end to the siege, and not to be satisfied with mere statements of condemnation and expressions of concern.
It called upon freedom-loving people around the world, popular, labor, student, and human rights forces, humanitarian organizations, and Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities to organize widespread demonstrations, marches, sit-ins, and solidarity vigils in front of embassies and international institutions, and in public squares and spaces.
