The Popular Front calls for Participation in the Global Strike and its Escalation

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine calls for participation in the global strike, which was called for by forces in solidarity with our oppressed and struggling people for their freedom. The strike is scheduled for every Monday until the cessation of the aggression and genocide against our people.

The Front considers this strike as part of the comprehensive escalation required for all forms of protest and struggle against the forces of aggression that insist on continuing the genocide against our people, obstruct every effort to stop it, and support and participate in this aggression with money, weapons, and political cover.

The Front invites labor unions, professional associations, progressive forces, and supporters of our people around the world to engage in every possible effort to make this strike successful, expand its base and the scope of participation in it. It considers that every effort to harm the interests of the imperialist forces of aggression positively contributes to saving our people from the fires of barbaric genocide.

The duty today for all the free people of the world, especially the sons and daughters of the Arab nation, is to escalate pressure and protest using all means of struggle and its forms and tools, to strike the interests of the forces of aggression, besiege their embassies and bases, and prevent financial and military support to the zionist entity that slaughters and besieges our people.

Arab Countries’ Involvement in Supplying the Enemy is a Stab in the Back of the Nation and an Unforgivable Betrayal

The Popular Front considers the increasing information about the involvement of several Arab countries in supplying the zionist enemy through their territories as a clear indication of the extent of these governments’ involvement in the aggressive project against our people.

The denial of these governments of the data about their involvement in supplying the enemy cannot be credible unless accompanied by clear decisions to sever relations with this enemy, close ports and Arab lands and airspace to it, and join the heroic action undertaken by Yemen, both leadership and people, to besiege the enemy.

Continuing relations with the zionist enemy, and direct cooperation with it or any of the parties of the aggression alliance against our people, is a treacherous stab and a poisoned dagger in the back of our people and the peoples of the Arab nation. There is no place for tolerance, laxity, or silence in the face of such a traitorous role.

The Front reiterates its call to the Arab peoples and forces to pressure the faltering Arab governments cooperating with the enemy, to besiege the embassies and bases of the countries of aggression, and to escalate the struggle against the interests of these countries and strike them and harm them with every available tool, considering this a duty and necessity to stop the genocidal war against the people of Palestine and to restore the dignity, sovereignty, and authority of our Arab nations over their decisions, lands, and resources.
