Gaza - Saba:
Gaza's steadfastness and sacrifices in defense of Palestine have stopped the war of extermination and ethnic cleansing that lasted for more than 15 months, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said late on Saturday.
The announcement of the ceasefire came after more than 15 months of genocidal war waged by the occupier on Gaza Strip, the Front added in a statement, "embodying the steadfastness of the Gaza Strip and our Palestinian people rooted in it, despite the horrors of the bombing, siege, destruction and starvation.
"It is the solid will, the indomitable spirit and the deep faith in the sanctity of the land and homeland, which formed a shield to protect Palestine, its people and its Cause from the dangers of extermination and liquidation."
It stated that Gaza's legendary steadfastness, despite the siege, bombing, destruction, bloodshed and the loss of tens of thousands of martyrs, and the bravery and courage of the resistance, made Gaza a global symbol of the will and resistance of peoples.
"This small sector, besieged by its area and large by its heroism, and the stance and sacrifices of its people in defense of Palestine and the threatened Arab nation, is what stopped the expansion of the Zionist aggression and the comprehensive war in the region.
"Gaza has proven that it is the stronghold of Palestinian national steadfastness, on which all the criminal occupation plans aimed at erasing the existence of our people or uprooting and displacing them are shattered.. Our people in Gaza have foiled the international guardianship plan that the occupation sought to impose as part of its war objectives. The enemy was unable to recover its prisoners, whom it used as a pretext to justify its brutal aggression, despite committing all the massacres and crimes."
The Front noted that the success of the resistance in preserving the will to fight and inflicting daily losses on the occupation, despite the ferocity of the aggression, would not have been possible without the great loyalty of our steadfast people who sacrificed their most precious possessions.
It said the support fronts in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Iran contributed to exhausting the enemy, and made great sacrifices at the level of their leaders, resistance fighters, people and capabilities in order to stop the aggression on Gaza.
The Popular Front held the US administration, led by war criminal Biden, directly responsible for this war, as it is a political and military partner in the genocide committed against our people, through financing the occupation and supporting it internationally. The international silence and the complicity of some regional powers were also a cover for the enemy to continue its crimes without deterrence.
It warned that human rights and international institutions, which have shown inability and failure to expose the crimes of genocide or contribute to punishing war criminals, are called upon to reconsider their role and moral and humanitarian position. The crime of the era represented by the war of extermination of Gaza would not have continued without the great international complicity.
The free voices that stood by the Palestinian people and condemned this aggression were highly appreciated, and we highly value the efforts made to stop the genocide, especially by our Arab brothers.
It called for more solidarity and support for the Palestinian people, their just cause, their resistance and their legitimate struggle.
The Popular Front also called for true national unity and the rejection of differences, with the aim of supporting the steadfastness of Gaza and providing all the necessary capabilities to rebuild and heal the wounds of our people in the battle to defend the entire Palestinian national existence, the rights of our people and their just cause.
"Today, although the aggression has stopped temporarily, it has not ended yet, as it continues in other forms that aim to complete its plans for genocide, displacement and settlement in the West Bank in preparation for its annexation, threatening our Palestinian existence in every inch of our occupied land, as it targets the entire region."
It stated that providing the elements of heroic steadfastness falls on everyone, as everyone has great responsibilities to work hard to alleviate the suffering of Gaza, and ensure the continuation of its resistance until the aggression is defeated and our rights are seized.
The Front paid tribute to the righteous martyrs who paved the way for freedom with their blood, to our valiant prisoners who embody the spirit of defiance behind bars, and to the masses of the Palestinian people in the homeland and abroad, especially the escalating and valiant resistance in the occupied West Bank.
