Popular Front holds international community fully responsible for lives of activists on "Handhala" Ship
Gaza – Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) held the Zionist enemy and the international community fully responsible for the lives of the 14 freedom activists who were arrested when enemy forces intercepted the "Handhala" ship en route to break the siege on the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Front stated: "The Zionist piracy crime against these activists at sea, followed by their arrest and continued forced detention, constitutes a war crime that puts their lives at grave risk." The PFLP pointed out that the activists were subjected to severe physical violence by Zionist special forces and were denied the minimum humanitarian conditions in detention, including lack of ventilation amid extreme heat and the absence of basic sanitary supplies for women. It praised the courage of the detained activists, who refused to sign so-called "voluntary deportation" forms or pledge not to participate in such initiatives again, declaring an open-ended hunger strike in protest against their forced detention. The PFLP emphasized that the continued detention of these international activists sends a clear message to the world that this criminal entity poses a danger to all humanity. The atrocities it commits—genocide, starvation, and siege against the Palestinian people—surpass in brutality the crimes of fascist, Nazi, and racist regimes in history, with the Zionist entity exceeding them all in savagery and criminality. The Front called on the free world, its people, and solidarity movements to take urgent action in support of Gaza, to stop the genocide and famine, to continue pressuring for an end to the blockade, and to amplify the voices of the detained freedom activists worldwide.

Popular Front hails heroic operation west Tulkarm
Gaza - Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) praised the heroic operation carried out in Kfar Yona on Thursday, which constitutes a legitimate response and the sacred right of the Palestinian people to defend themselves against the crimes of genocide committed by the Zionist enemy in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing aggression against the West Bank camps, especially in Jenin and Tulkarm. The committee said in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), that this operation clearly confirms that all expansionist plans and colonial decisions aimed at denying the rights of our people and displacing them, foremost among them the annexation decision through which the enemy seeks to impose Zionist sovereignty over the entire West Bank, will be met with steadfastness and comprehensive resistance from all factions and components of our people. The committee added: "Our Palestinian people, despite all the tragedies and sacrifices they have endured, are determined to resist the enemy and will not give up their right to land and freedom, no matter the cost. Resistance is the most effective and best way to defend the land, the continued existence of our people, and our national identity." The committee emphasized that all the illusions upon which the enemy built its perceptions regarding resolving the battle in the occupied West Bank have collapsed in the face of these qualitative operations, which confirm that the resistance will remain alive and that the response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy will not cease, no matter how much the machine of genocide and destruction escalates. The Front called for strengthening the field partnership between the resistance factions in confronting this ongoing aggression, emphasizing the importance of combining the efforts of the free people of the world to support our just cause against the enemy and its allies. It also emphasized that the path to victory is the path of resistance and steadfastness, and that the escalation of these operations confirms that the Palestinian people will endure, their rights will not lapse with the passage of time, and they will remain steadfast until they achieve their goals of return and freedom.

Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine: Imposing sovereignty over West Bank is dangerous escalation , part of settlement & judaization schemes
Beirut – Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) stated on Wednesday evening that "the decision by the enemy's parliament, the Knesset, to pass a proposal with a majority of 71 votes endorsing the imposition of sovereignty over the West Bank and the Jordan Valley represents a dangerous escalation and an integral part of the occupation's schemes to settle, Judaize, and displace the Palestinian population." In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP emphasized that "the Israeli enemy already exercises full control over the land and commits all forms of crimes, from ethnic cleansing and destruction of infrastructure to land seizures across the West Bank, while allowing settler militias to carry out every kind of crime against our people, their villages, cities, and agricultural lands." The statement added, "However, formalizing this step legally reinforces the occupation, entrenches its presence, expands its settlement and Judaization project, and confines our people to isolated enclaves as a prelude to forced displacement." The PFLP affirmed that "unity and resistance are the only means to confront this dangerous scheme, which is no less severe than the genocidal crimes the occupation is committing in Gaza."

"Popular Front": Yemen remains unbreakable, strong supporter of Palestine despite renewed Zionist Aggression
Gaza – SABA: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) affirmed on Monday that Yemen, with its leadership, armed forces, and resisting people, proves once again to be unbreakable, while the increasingly impotent Zionist enemy continues its relentless targeting of civilian sites in Yemen. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP stated: "Despite the ongoing aggression against Yemen, it remains unbroken and continues to be a strong supporter of Palestine, its people, and its resistance." The Front strongly condemned the latest Zionist attack on Hodeidah, Yemen, describing it as a clear reflection of the bankruptcy and confusion of the Zionist enemy and a confirmation of its failure to counter the precise strikes Yemen has launched deep into the Zionist entity. The PFLP expressed full solidarity with Yemen, its people, and armed forces, praising their steadfastness. It affirmed that Yemen will always remain dignified, resistant, and an authentic ally of Palestine, at a time when others have failed to stand with the oppressed and grieving people of Gaza.

Georges Abdallah to walk free after 41 years in French prison
Shafaq News – Paris A French appeals court has approved the release of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a Lebanese leftist activist imprisoned for 41 years over the killings of two diplomats in the early 1980s. His conditional release, set for July 25, 2025, comes after decades of legal delays, international pressure, and repeated parole blockages. Abdallah, now 74, is one of Europe's longest-held prisoners. He was arrested in Lyon on October 24, 1984, and later sentenced to life in prison for complicity in the assassinations of US military attaché Charles R. Ray and Israeli diplomat Yacov Bar-Simantov, both gunned down in Paris in 1982. French authorities also linked Abdallah to an attempted assassination targeting a US consul in Strasbourg in 1984. A former teacher and member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Abdallah co-founded the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions (LARF), a Marxist-Leninist group that coordinated attacks in France during the early 1980s. The group claimed responsibility for the killings, citing retaliation for US and Israeli operations in Lebanon. Although Abdallah became eligible for parole in 1999, his release has been consistently blocked by French authorities, often following US diplomatic intervention. In both 2003 and late 2024, French courts approved his conditional release based on deportation to Lebanon. Each time, prosecutors appealed the decisions, invoking new anti-reoffending laws and citing his lack of remorse. On Thursday, however, a Paris appeals court ruled that Abdallah may be freed and expelled from France, provided he never returns. His attorney, Jean-Louis Chalanset, confirmed that Abdallah plans to return to Lebanon. The court based its decision on his "irreproachable" prison record and judged that he no longer posed a threat of engaging in terrorist activity. The decision remains subject to further appeal, but legal experts say there is little time for France's Court of Cassation to intervene before his scheduled release. Abdallah's case has long divided opinion. Supporters in Lebanon and parts of the international left regard him as a political prisoner and a symbol of resistance. The United States and Israel, however, continue to regard him as a terrorist who orchestrated politically motivated murders.
