On anniversary of Ahmed Yassin martyrdom, Hamas: We committed to rights, principles, resistance against Zionist enemy
The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, stated that the 21st anniversary of the assassination of the Zionist enemy's founding martyr, Ahmed Yassin, comes today as the Palestinian people and their resistance draw inspiration from him to adhere to rights, steadfastness on the ground, patience, steadfastness, sacrifice, and the defense of the land and holy sites.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Hamas affirmed that the assassination of the martyr Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and the assassination of the leaders and national symbols of the Palestinian people will not break the will of the Palestinians to persevere, nor the courage and strength of their resistance. The Zionist enemy will not succeed in achieving its aggressive goals of displacement and obliterating the Palestinian cause.
The movement's statement emphasized that the crimes of the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people and the assassination of their leaders will only increase their determination and adherence to rights and principles, and that resistance is a strategic option to seize our rights, liberate our land, and return to it.
In its statement, the movement noted that what the founding sheikh planted today has borne fruit in legendary steadfastness throughout all stages of the struggle and resistance against the Zionist enemy, not least the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, which was a pioneering model of patience, sacrifice, steadfastness, and perseverance in modern history.
Hamas recalled the words of the founding martyr, Yassin, that the Palestinian people have proven throughout history that they are the strongest and most resilient of peoples, possessing the energies and principles that qualify them to confront all challenges. It is these immense sacrifices that have forged within them the love of martyrdom and increased in the souls of their sons the courage to resist and defend the honor of the nation and its sanctities.
The statement emphasized Yassin's belief in the role of the Arab and Islamic nation in defending Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
On March 22, 2004, the Zionist enemy assassinated Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, 67, as he was returning from performing the dawn prayer. Israeli aircraft fired several missiles at the sheikh and his companions and civilians.

Gaza – Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) on Tuesday called on the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank and the territories occupied since 1948 to actively participate in all public events and mobilizations announced by national forces and institutions, in defense of the Palestinian people and their just cause, and in solidarity with the people of Gaza who are enduring one of the most brutal wars of genocide and starvation in history. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the PFLP affirmed that "it is the duty of every Palestinian individual and fighter to work, mobilize, and participate in the popular events announced by national forces." The statement emphasized the importance of the widest possible public turnout, especially in light of the existential threat facing the Palestinian people due to the ongoing aggression and relentless campaign of extermination. The PFLP further urged Palestinians across all occupied territories to strengthen unity, coordination, and joint organization, intensify popular mobilizations, and take part in all forms of resistance to the brutal genocide and ethnic cleansing waged by the enemy against the people of Gaza and the West Bank. This call coincides with large-scale public activities planned in the diaspora and in various capitals and cities around the world. The PFLP stressed that national factions, institutions, and grassroots structures must set aside internal differences and work to escalate efforts in confronting the genocide, and to play an effective role in popular mobilization and all forms of resistance against the Zionist enemy. The Front also praised the efforts of Palestinian youth and the night marches taking place in various areas of the occupied West Bank, calling on young people from all movements , sectors to overcome voices of defeatism and despair, and to unite in national action, reclaim their role on the ground, defend their existence, homeland, and the just cause of the Palestinians.

PFLP: Smotrich's statements reflect fascist trends within Israeli occupation government
Gaza – SABA: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) stated on Tuesday that " the aggressive and racist statements made by the fascist, racist, and criminal Zionist minister Bezalel Smotrich — in which he openly called for the re-establishment of settlements in the Gaza Strip and claimed it as part of what he called 'the Land of Israel' — reflect the growing fascist and Judaization-oriented tendencies within the Israeli occupation government." The Front emphasized that these remarks "confirm that the occupation is pressing forward with its colonial expansionist plans, not only in the occupied West Bank but also in the Gaza Strip." In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP added: "These remarks express the core of the criminal program of the occupation government and its ongoing war against the Palestinian people, their existence, and their land. It is a desperate attempt to legitimize ethnic cleansing and impose settler sovereignty over Gaza." The statement further noted that such remarks are "part of a comprehensive plan to entrench the reality of occupation through genocide, starvation, control, and settlement — all under American involvement and blatant international complicity." The PFLP stressed that "the Palestinian people — who have sacrificed thousands of martyrs, wounded, and prisoners in pursuit of national liberation — will continue to resist these settlement projects by all means of resistance, and will fiercely defend every inch of Palestinian land, as it is an unalienable right that cannot be taken away, regardless of the crimes, massacres, and schemes." The Front called on "the masses of the Palestinian people and all national and social forces to achieve firm political and on-the-ground unity to confront these colonial plans." It affirmed that "the response to Smotrich's statements will be through increased resilience, clinging to the land, and escalating resistance across all areas under occupation until it is completely defeated and eradicated from our land." Finally, the PFLP urged "the international community to assume its responsibilities, end the policy of double standards, and take a clear and firm stance against these dangerous plans that embolden the occupation to continue its Judaization and settlement projects and commit further acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and starvation against the Palestinian people."

"Palestinian Ahrar Movement condemns Arab silence & international inaction amid ongoing bloodshed in Gaza"
Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Ahrar Movement on Tuesday strongly condemned the Arab silence and international failure to stop the ongoing bloodshed in the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement called on the United Nations, its affiliated bodies, all human rights and humanitarian organizations to take a bold stance against the acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The movement urged a break from silence and immediate, active intervention to halt the systematic war crimes being committed against innocent civilians over the past 22 months — including massacres, starvation, and the destruction of all aspects of life. It emphasized the need to implement international law and court rulings that demand the condemnation and prosecution of Zionist war criminals — chiefly war criminal Netanyahu and his fascist government — and to ensure they do not escape punishment. The statement highlighted that the continued massacres and daily atrocities across the Gaza Strip — including the killing of dozens since dawn in Israeli Nazi military airstrikes on residential neighborhoods, displacement camps, shelters, and aid distribution points — confirm that the enemy shows no regard for the international community, international law, or the consequences of its widespread war crimes. It noted that over 81 martyrs, including 32 aid seekers, have been killed so far today. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
