The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine warned against the blatant attempts by the head of Israeli fascism, Benjamin Netanyahu, to seize control of the Gaza plan and disrupt the second phase of the plan, just as he disrupted the first phase.
The Democratic Front said: Israel would not have been able to reach the body of the last captured soldier on the handover list, were it not for the information provided by the Palestinian resistance to the American side. Therefore, Netanyahu has no right to boast that he has achieved a historic and great accomplishment, as he claims before his voters.
The Democratic Front added: Netanyahu has moved from playing on the first stage to manipulating the second stage by considering the disarmament of the Gaza Strip as the first step of the second stage, knowing that everyone realizes that the issue of the Strip’s weapons is not a security issue, nor is it a technical issue, but rather it is a political issue of the first order. This is the weapon of the Palestinian people, with which they fought in defense of themselves against the genocidal war of the occupation forces. Everyone must realize that the Palestinian people in the Strip are not about to give up their weapons, as long as the fascist forces occupy large parts of the Strip, and as long as senior officers of the occupation army threaten from time to time to return to invade the Strip again, occupy it completely, and work to displace its inhabitants.
The Democratic Front affirmed that Netanyahu is trying to achieve through his tricks and maneuvers what he failed to achieve through his criminal war against our people. He announces the opening of the Rafah crossing, only for travelers leaving the Gaza Strip, while for those returning he sets conditions that he considers security-related. This is a blatant attempt to deprive the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip of services and to prevent them from moving to the recovery phase, so that forced displacement (or what is called voluntary displacement) remains the only solution.
The Democratic Front condemned Israel’s decision to refuse to evacuate the Rafah crossing, noting that the evacuation process belongs to the first phase of the agreement.
The Democratic Front called on the guarantor parties, especially US President Donald Trump, who considers Israel an ally, to pressure the fascist government to evacuate the Rafah crossing and manage it according to the 2005 agreement, so that unconditional aid can flow to the population.
The Democratic Front also condemned Israel›s decision to prevent the Palestinian National Committee from entering the Gaza Strip, a blatant attempt to obstruct the transition to a recovery and reorganization phase, and to prevent the establishment of a technocratic administration for our people in the Strip. Such an administration would chart a course for this transition, engaging responsibly with the Executive Council and donor countries on one hand, and with Palestinian political forces and civil society groups in the Strip on the other, ultimately aiming to create the conditions that would compel the occupation to withdraw to the separation line between the Gaza Strip and the Israeli settlement bloc
