Continued targeting of medical crews and destruction of health infrastructure are unprecedented major crimes.
American partnership, international silence, and cowardly Arab silence encourage the enemy to commit its massacres.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirmed that the occupation’s targeting of the Director-General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Munir Al-Barsh, and all his family members, and the martyrdom of his daughter in a treacherous zionist bombing of his sister’s house in Jabalia Al-Balad, the continued siege of Al-Awda Hospital, shooting at medical crews inside it, putting all medical centers in the northern Gaza Strip and Gaza out of service, and continuing the targeting and arrest of doctors, medical crews, and paramedics reaffirms that the direct American partnership, international complicity, and the silent and inept official Arab stance encourage this enemy to commit these crimes.
The Front holds the American administration, the West, and the official Arab regime responsible for the ongoing genocide against our people, the destruction of hospitals and medical centers, and the targeting and killing of doctors and medical crews.
The Front emphasized that the systematic destruction of the health infrastructure, the killing of a large number of medical crews, and the destruction of hospitals represent unprecedented major crimes, unheard of in the history of wars and conflicts that were governed by rules, ethics, and international laws.
This rogue and cowardly zionist”enemy commits retaliatory crimes against civilians at a time when its officers and soldiers flee from the battle in front of our brave fighters.
The Front concluded its statement by affirming that these horrific massacres committed in the Strip are a testament to the crime of the century that the zionist entity continues to commit against unarmed civilians in the Gaza Strip in full view of the entire world, asserting that the blood of children, women, and the elderly will remain a curse that haunts this criminal entity and its cowardly leaders, and everyone who conspired, colluded, and failed to act [against it.]

Arab Involvement in the Security Council Decision is a Cover for Continuing Genocide
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemned the Arab involvement in the issuance of the recent Security Council resolution, which serves as a cover for the ongoing genocide against our Palestinian people.
The acceptance of the concerned Arab states to play a role in a charade aimed solely at facing street pressure and issuing a decision used only to impede any real effort to stop the aggression can only be interpreted as mere cooperation and submission to the objectives of the aggression and American dictates.
The Security Council and the entire international system have once again confirmed their lack of legitimacy, being nothing more than a tool to justify killing and genocide, and to cover colonial wars and aggressive American policies.
The Popular Front also viewed the series of American vetoes against the Russian amendments demanding an immediate ceasefire as nothing but an American insistence on completing the genocide with official Arab cover.
The Front called on the Arab street to show all forms of outrage against those involved in this farce at the expense of the blood of our people, and to hold all those responsible accountable at the Arab level.
In conclusion of its statement, the Popular Front called on the friends of Palestine, solidarity movements, and free people of the world to reject this decision and to escalate the struggle in all its forms against the governments, interests, and bases of the aggressor countries, affirming that the blood of the innocents in Gaza will drown the entire world. There will be no peace for anyone over the bodies of Palestinian children.
