The
International League of Peoples’ Struggle joins the Palestinian people
and all freedom loving people of the world in celebrating the third
anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood operation against the US-Zionist
genocidal occupation. The Al Aqsa Flood not only ended any hopes for
Arab-Zionist normalization across West Asia, but the sacrifices of the
Palestinian people and its resistance has only steeled the resolve of
countries and people’s movements fighting for national sovereignty and
socialism against a weakening US imperialism.
The US-Zionist
genocide against the Palestinian people continues into its third year
now. Despite a ceasefire in writing declared on October 9, 2025, the
Zionist entity has not kept any of its commitments and continues its
ceaseless countless violations. In Gaza, ‘Israel’ has killed 1,422
Palestinians and wounded 4,996 since the ceasefire, bringing the total
casualty rate to 74,016 with over 175,000 wounded since October 7th,
2023. Only 110 trucks of UN-coordinated humanitarian aid enter into Gaza
daily (almost 1/6th of the agreed amount) and the Rafah Crossing is
still closed. Moreover, ecocide of Gaza has made 98.5% of its land
unusable due to toxic waste from Zionist bombardment and rubble,
notwithstanding the complete destruction of sanitation systems,
healthcare facilities, food production areas, and other vital
infrastructure for life. There has been no withdrawal of the Zionist
entity’s military occupation of Gaza, instead occupying up to 70% of the
land. In the West Bank, settler violence has exponentially increased,
with at least 1,100 killed since October 7th and the Knesset approving
the plan to fully annex it. Meanwhile, the “Israeli” death penalty law
for Palestinian prisoners has emerged as part of a Zionist final
solution after failing to break the West Bank and Gaza.
Despite
the devastating situation of both Gaza and the West Bank, the
Palestinian resistance has refused to disarm and has successfully held
onto their weapons and their unwavering support from the Palestinian
masses. The uptick in assassinations and attempted assassinations of
resistance leaders in the past weeks is proof of the occupation’s
desperation and that the resistance is still intact.
The Trump
‘Board of Peace’, funded to a large extent by the International Monetary
Fund and World Bank, promises to turn Gaza into “the Riviera of the
Middle East,” with US special envoy and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner
coldly referring to Gaza’s genocide as “a great business startup
opportunity.” Yet, the project continues to stall as Trump and his
family only seek to use it to fill their pockets and profit off Gaza’s
reconstruction that the Zionist entity continues to hold back.
The
resistance continues to hold true to its commitments to the latest
ceasefire agreement and the US Board of Peace transition plan and
dissolved the Hamas-run government of Gaza as a move towards the unity
of a national Palestinian government, and recently announced an
electoral bloc to run in Palestinian elections. This is despite the
Zionists refusing to uphold any of their end of the ceasefire and
transition plan, openly exposing their dastardly and continued genocidal
intent to the whole world. The arming and encouragement of thousands of
settlers in the past three years is part of this fascist escalation of
the Zionist project, and proves why the Al Aqsa Flood was the only
option for Palestinian liberation. With the ‘Israeli’ election about to
take place, the sham Zionist ceasefire will continue to be unmasked, as
Netanyahu’s only chance of staying in power is to keep his genocidal
wars going.
As the Palestinian people continue their struggle for
national liberation against US imperialism and Zionist reaction, they
have inspired the whole world to rise and defeat imperialism and their
local puppets once and for all. The Al Aqsa Flood reaffirmed the
standard for resistance until victory. Across the region, from Palestine
to Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Yemen, the Axis of Resistance has refused
to put down their arms. Not only did the Al Aqsa Flood sharpen the Axis
of Resistance’s struggle against US imperialism and the Zionist regime,
it changed the whole balance of political forces in West Asia. US
imperialism as a whole drew itself into a new series of crises as Iran
and Yemen have asserted their sovereignty and control over the Strait of
Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab respectively due to US-Zionist aggression.
The
US and Zionists have been unable to break the will of the resistance
and the people. On the contrary, they have invigorated a global
solidarity movement to end the genocide, break the siege, and crush US
imperialism and Zionist reaction. This has translated into a massive
growth and broadening of people’s movements and the rising isolation of
the Zionist regime, now unmasked of its false “democracy and human
rights” disguise. Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations General
Assembly was boycotted by 77 countries while thousands of protesters
took to the streets outside. There is a continued need and many
possibilities through which to strengthen global solidarity and
cooperation for the Palestinian people and for their just struggle for
national liberation.
The Al Aqsa Flood, launched on October 7,
2023, stands as a beacon for nations and peoples’ movements around the
world for how to genuinely resist the most brutal and genocidal
manifestations of imperialism in the world today. On this third
anniversary, the ILPS offers its full solidarity for Palestine’s
struggle to free its people from Zionist occupation and genocide. We
call on our members and global solidarity movement for Palestine to take
inspiration from the Al Aqsa Flood in fighting back against imperialist
occupation, sanctions, and siege all around the world.
Signed,
International League of Peoples' Struggle |
