The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine said in a statement issued today that the massacre committed by settler gangs in the town of Kafr Malik last night, under the protection and participation of the Israeli occupation forces and with the encouragement and sponsorship of the fascist occupation government, which resulted in the deaths of three martyrs and a number of injuries, a day after the funeral of the martyred child (Ammar Hamayel), is a continuation of the war of extermination that the occupation state has been waging for nearly two years against our people in the Gaza Strip, whose valiant resistance continues to deal painful blows to its forces, the last of which was the day before yesterday in the operation east of Khan Yunis.
The DFLP added in its statement: The occupation›s continuation of its war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, and the continuation of killings, home demolitions, ethnic cleansing, displacement of Palestinian camps, the theft of Palestinian land, and the unleashing of settler gangs throughout the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, amid Arab and international silence, Western complicity, and American support, will not deter our people from their resistance by all possible means, and will not weaken their resolve, adherence to their land, and steadfastness, no matter how intense the occupation›s oppression becomes and no matter how hostile forces conspire against them.
The DFLP considered that all these crimes were aimed at completing the annexation project, which the occupying state views as a feasible dream in light of recent regional developments and US-Trumpian support for the occupying state. The fascist government sees this as an excellent opportunity to re-implement the «Deal of the Century,» which it announced during its first presidential term.
The Democratic Front concluded by emphasizing that our steadfast Palestinian people and their valiant resistance deserve for the Palestinian national movement to unite its ranks and end the division as a main condition and a factor that must be available to agree on a national strategy of struggle based on comprehensive resistance and the continuation of the conflict with the occupation until it is swept away from our occupied land. The leadership of the political authority must leave the position of the observing spectator and implement the decisions of the Palestinian legitimacy related to the occupying state, the most important of which is suspending recognition of it and severing all forms of relations with it, foremost among them security coordination.
