We unequivocally condemn the resumption of indiscriminate bombing and attacks against Gaza, on the night of Monday 17th March 2025, which has killed at least 410 Palestinians and injured over 500 in the span of one night only–with most of the casualties reaching hospitals being reportedly children. This represents Israel’s umpteenth refusal to abide by the ceasefire terms and underscores its commitment to the systematic destruction of Palestine and its people.
Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on January 19, 2025, the colonization authority has persistently violated its terms. In less than two months, it has killed more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza and restricted the entry of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials. For the past 16 days, it has completely sealed off the flow of food, fuel, medical supplies, and other essential aid. This caused food prices to soar, community kitchens to shut down, and disease and starvation to spread at an alarming rate against the Palestinian people who had already endured 15 months of genocide.
Meanwhile, the colonization authority has launched "Operation Iron Wall" against the West Bank, with a particular focus on the northern area. Refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nablus have borne the brunt of this annihilatory campaign, facing large-scale aerial bombardments, tank invasions, the destruction of vital infrastructure, and ongoing evacuation orders. Hundreds of Palestinians have been abducted by Israeli forces, exceeding the number of those released in agreed-upon prisoner exchanges.
Through these tactics, Israel has extended its 17-month-long genocide: the war on the Palestinian people never ended—it only changed forms.
The war on Palestine’s existence has been ongoing for over 100 years. At the core of this settler-colonial campaign of erasure is Palestinian refugeehood and the inalienable right of over 10 million Palestinians to return to their 611 villages and towns. This right existentially challenges Israel’s colonial reality, built on destruction and displacement.
We reaffirm that the Palestinian people’s land rights are non-negotiable and that their right to self-determination must be upheld. No investor, development project, or real estate deal should override the will of the Palestinian people, their inalienable right to return and to remain as sovereign on their land.
We call on the international community to rescind its expansionist ambitions and to take concrete steps to remedy its long-lasting injustice against Palestine. Specifically, we demand:
- An immediate two-way arms embargo on Israel: the continued arms sales and diplomatic cover provided by Western allies embolden Israel’s criminality against Palestinian Indigenous sovereignty.
- A shift from empty words of condemnation to concretely end complicity with Israel’s genocide: worldwide governments must recognize that colonization is not diplomacy and genocide is not security.
- The mobilization of global solidarity and popular pressure to isolate Israel economically, politically, and diplomatically. Grassroots solidarity movements are essential to ensure the Palestinian liberation struggle, return and justice is supported by meaningful action.
