The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) condemned, in a statement, the statements of Israeli Defense Minister Katz, in which he threatened to annex the West Bank to the occupying state, mocking what French President Macron said about the upcoming conference in New York next June, entitled “The Two-State Solution.”
The Democratic Front said: Katz, like his partners in the fascist clique in Israel, does not stop announcing his government›s colonial project in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, within the framework of a bloody war throughout the territories of the Palestinian state, disregarding international positions calling for an end to the war and resolving the Palestinian issue by establishing a Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital, relying on unlimited American support, in which Trump backed away from the «two-state solution» project in favor of the «biblical state of Israel» «Greater Israel.»
The Democratic Front asserted that Katz›s brazenness in declaring his intention to throw the recognition of a Palestinian state in the trash is further confirmation that Israeli policy has gone beyond mere maneuvering and has shifted from planning to actual action, in a war based on the plunder of Palestinian land, the destruction of its urban fabric, the displacement of its inhabitants, and the Judaization of the Palestinian territory as part of the occupying state.
In this context, the Democratic Front called for an effective Palestinian position to respond to the Zionist colonial expansionist project in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, stressing that the Palestinian cause is supported by the Arab world, a wide array of world capitals, and millions of free people around the world, and that the following positions should be taken:
* Suspending recognition of the occupying state, in accordance with the decisions of the National Council (23rd session) and the Central Council (31st session).
* Extending national sovereignty over all the territories of the Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital.
* Referring the case to the United Nations on behalf of the State of Palestine, in accordance with General Assembly Resolution 19/67, and the right of the State of Palestine to vote in the General Assembly, and submitting a complaint to the Security Council on behalf of an “independent, sovereign state,” demanding assistance in ending the occupation of its land and the violation of its national sovereignty.
The Democratic Front concluded: The expansion of international support for the national cause, in contrast to the increasing isolation of the occupying state, creates a political climate for the broadest diplomatic campaign, through which the State of Palestine will wage its major battle against the Zionist project
