Statement issued by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine | Oct. 7, 2025 | Translated from Arabic–

On the second anniversary of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, October 7

“They have come, there is no compromise… Glory to the people of resistance.”

On the second anniversary of the October 7 operation, we recall a pivotal moment in the history of a people who knew neither surrender nor submission. On that day, the resistance affirmed that it is the essence and living soul of Palestinian existence. It was a resounding cry in the face of injustice, tyranny, and the brutality of the occupation, and a resounding and bold declaration to the world that the Palestinian people are alive, steadfast in their land and identity, and committed to their right to freedom and dignity.

The October 7 operation marked a strategic turning point that altered the equations of the conflict and placed the Palestinian cause at the center of global consciousness. It demonstrated that free will is capable of shaking arrogant power structures, regardless of their technological superiority. It also exposed the fragility of the Zionist entity in the face of fighters possessing a firm resolve and a belief in the justice of their cause.

The battle transcended its military dimension to confirm that resistance is a constant approach and that peoples who cling to their rights are capable of breaking the boundaries of fear and making history anew.

However, the Zionist response, directly supported by American imperialism and Western lobbies, was not merely a military attack, but a blatant embodiment of organized state terrorism as a colonial tool par excellence. In Gaza, the world witnessed a systematic genocide unseen by humanity for decades, not only in terms of brutality, but also in terms of the colonial mentality that justifies famine as a weapon, the blockade as a tool of collective suffocation, and the destruction of vital infrastructure as part of an organized genocide project. Hospitals, schools, universities, water and electricity sources were not only targeted, but homes were leveled over the heads of their residents, basic necessities of life were lost, and hundreds of thousands were displaced time and again. All of this reveals the true face of the colonial system: a system that views the life of the Palestinian people as a mere obstacle to domination, a violation of rights, and one hell-bent on annihilating the national will.

The joining of resistance forces in Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, and Iraq to the Gaza support front reflects a shared destiny and deep solidarity, affirming that Palestine is not alone in confronting the occupation. The Lebanese and Yemeni resistance have demonstrated resilience and sustained resistance, and despite the enormous sacrifices, the path of resistance proves to be the path to uniting the Arab peoples, restoring their dignity, and building a free and independent future free from hegemony and surrender.

The unprecedented global movement against the occupation and the international pressure on the US administration and Western leaders have proven that human consciousness has begun to regain its moral compass towards Palestine.

The sight of the Palestinian flag waving across the globe, carried by free people around the world during massive marches and unprecedented historic demonstrations in capitals, squares, and streets, particularly in Western countries, represented a great symbolic and humanitarian achievement that restored respect for a cause the occupation had tried to obliterate for decades. Meanwhile, the Zionist entity has become a pariah, a renegade against international law and the human conscience, besieged by popular anger and growing moral isolation, exposing the fragility of its narrative and the falsity of its claims to democracy and humanity.

We, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, on the second anniversary of this immortal operation, and two years after the Zionist war of extermination against our people in the Gaza Strip, affirm the following:

1. We proudly salute the heroic martyrs of our people, especially the leaders and fighters in Gaza, the West Bank, and across all the battlefields, whose blood mingled to affirm Gaza’s steadfastness. We salute our prisoners and wounded, affirming that their sacrifices will remain immortal and a source of pride and inspiration.
2. The October 7 operation marked an important milestone in our people’s ongoing struggle since the occupation of Palestine. It was a natural response to the occupation’s ongoing crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, and against the siege, settlement, and Judaization. To those who attempt to portray this operation as the beginning of the conflict or the cause of the problem, we remind them that the occupation’s crimes have not ceased since the occupation of Palestine until today, while the resistance has always been active, ongoing, and raging in all arenas of struggle, affirming our people’s steadfastness and will to confront aggression.
3. In light of the occupation’s escalation of its war of extermination, particularly in Gaza City, and the resistance’s response to the American proposal, our priorities are to reach an agreement for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, lift the blockade, allow the entry of aid, and rebuild. These are firm demands that we will address responsibly and flexibly in order to end our people’s suffering.
4. The US administration bears responsibility for any attempts by the occupation to thwart the negotiations or continue its war of extermination. This calls for Arab and international pressure and continued global action to prevent any reversal of the agreement at any stage.
5. We reject foreign mandates and affirm that the administration of the Gaza Strip is an internal Palestinian affair. An agreement has been reached, under Egyptian auspices, on a temporary administrative committee of technocrats until a national unity government is formed to assume its responsibilities in the West Bank and Gaza. This requires an urgent national meeting to put the Palestinian house in order, rebuild institutions, and confront the enormous challenges facing the Palestinian cause.
6. We affirm our people’s right to legitimate resistance in all its forms, foremost among them armed resistance, and the necessity of escalating resistance in the West Bank to confront annexation plans, settlement and Judaization policies, and the occupation’s attempts to resolve the conflict.
7. We call for a central, pressing Arab and Islamic stance to consolidate a comprehensive ceasefire in the war of extermination, capitalizing on all Arab and Islamic strengths, activating the role of the masses and free people, and confronting all forms of normalization with the occupation.
8. We call for continued global action to pressure the occupation and its supporters, hold war criminals accountable internationally, led by Netanyahu, impose deterrent measures to end impunity, and expand the freedom convoys by sea and land to Gaza to break the siege and expose the occupation’s crimes.

In conclusion, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, on this immortal anniversary, and in the face of the ongoing Zionist war of extermination, affirms that the steadfastness of our people and the legitimacy of their cause will remain steadfast and firm. The blood of the martyrs and the determination of the heroes are our beacon that illuminates the path towards return and freedom. The voice of our free people will remain louder than all the Zionist killing and criminal machinery. It affirms that Palestine will return to its indigenous inhabitants sooner or later, from its river to its sea, thanks to the resistance and sacrifices of its sons, and the support, solidarity and unity of the free people of the world.
