These occasions come this year in the shadow of a comprehensive aggression against the Palestinian people in general, a war of genocide, destruction and displacement in the Gaza Strip, a blocked political horizon, difficult and sensitive political circumstances, and existential dangers looming over the Palestinian cause in an attempt to liquidate it and resolve the conflict in favor of the occupation and its plans with full American support, Western silence, and Arab inability and failure, which was met with an unprecedented rise and movement from the free people of the world, both popular and official, in terms of increasing recognition of the State of Palesti
ne and support for the rights of the Palestinian people.’
Talib stressed that commemorating these glorious occasions places on our shoulders new struggle tasks on the political and social levels to preserve a glorious past in which we have shouldered great responsibilities in preserving the struggle of our people, and a promising future in which we embody the legitimate hopes and aspirations of our people for liberation, independence and return, and building an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, a civil and democratic state that guarantees political pluralism, judicial independence, and the foundations of civil society, and in which the rights of all segments and components of Palestinian society are protected.
He recalled the fifteenth anniversary of the passing of the martyr leader and symbolic fighter Dr. Samir Ghosheh, the founding Secretary-General of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front, this unique leader who instilled in us the values ??and principles of struggle, and roo
ted in us the national awareness so that we would be loyal to the march, struggles and blood of the martyrs. He said, ‘We miss our late leader and teacher, and we miss the path of these founding leaders who established the role and position of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front to remain a vanguard and democratic party, struggling in various arenas of struggle with a conscious will, firmness of position and determination to achieve.’
In order to preserve the principles he instilled in us, and to continue the path of struggle and giving whose symbol and leader was the symbolic leader and fighter Dr. Samir Ghosheh, it is necessary to review and extract lessons and morals and preserve his revolutionary and progressive approach through which he led the Front and placed it in an advanced position within the framework of the Palestinian national movement. It is necessary to be faithful to the biography, path and qualities of this great leader, the father of struggle and the father of all comrades, by continuin
g the path of struggle in his footsteps, steadfast and united.
He spoke about the fourth anniversary of the passing of our martyred comrades Ammar and Diaa Rashid Al-Deek, and said, ‘We remember their history full of giving and belonging, as we are proud of and honored by the great belonging, sincerity, and giving offered by the two martyred brothers Ammar and Diaa Rashid Al-Deek towards the people of their town, governorate, and country, as they were not satisfied with being only fighters practicing the national struggle, but also their present humanitarian and social positions, which we will not forget, in supporting our people in all circumstances, and they were an integral part of this cause, the banner of which we will continue to carry until it triumphs over the Zionist project and its supporters. He stressed that their cause is just and will remain immortal and a beacon for achieving justice and the rule of law in accordance with the constitution and true partnership.’
Talib also stressed on the 57th
anniversary of the Front’s launch that this year comes amid a comprehensive aggression against the Palestinian people in general, a war of genocide, destruction and displacement in the Gaza Strip, a political dead end, difficult and sensitive political circumstances and existential dangers looming over the Palestinian cause in an attempt to liquidate it and resolve the conflict in favor of the occupation and its plans with full American support, Western silence, and Arab inability and failure, which was met with an unprecedented rise and movement from the free people of the world, both popular and official, on the level of increasing recognition of the State of Palestine and support for the rights of the Palestinian people.
He added, “We seek for the factions’ meeting at the end of this month in Beijing to be an important step towards ending the division and restoring national unity, so that we can face the challenges of the stage and confront all the measures of the fascist government and stop the aggressio
n against our people in the Gaza Strip, and the projects of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.”
