The Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza have issued a “sincere and fraternal” call to Algeria to continue advocating its principled positions in favor of Palestine and to firmly reject any plan aimed at undermining the identity of the Palestinian enclave strip.
In a letter addressed to the Al-Mayadeen television channel, the Palestinian factions in Gaza emphasized that “Algeria, which has never abandoned Palestine, represents the true hope of our people to counter this project that aims to impose a new occupation of the Gaza Strip under international cover,” stating that “the Palestinian people see in Algeria the authentic expression of the free popular Arab position, capable of speaking the truth in the face of pressures and diktats.”
The active factions in Gaza, including the Hamas movement, the Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and the Popular Resistance Committees, have considered that any foreign intervention in Gaza, regardless of its denomination, constitutes “a violation of our national sovereignty and a continuation of our people’s suffering,” specifying that the only path to security and stability is the end of occupation, the lifting of the blockade, and respect for the will and rights of the Palestinian people.
The resistance factions also called on all Arab and Islamic countries as well as all free peoples of the world to oppose this decision, reject any form of guardianship or foreign interference, and defend Gaza’s right to freedom, dignity, and independence.
This statement from the Palestinian factions comes as the United States is trying to pass a draft resolution in the UN Security Council concerning the deployment of international forces in the Gaza Strip.
For these factions, this project represents “a new attempt to impose another form of occupation on our land and our people, and to legitimize foreign guardianship over the future of our national cause.”
Meanwhile, a responsible source within the leadership of the Hamas movement, cited by the same media, said the Palestinian people expected Algeria, as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, to adopt an honorable position by rejecting the American draft resolution on international forces.
The source expressed Hamas’s confidence that Algeria would oppose the American draft resolution due to the injustice it represents against the sacrifices and aspirations of the Palestinian people.
According to this official, Hamas indicated that the movement considers Algeria’s expected stance as a hope for the Palestinian people to prevent any new international guardianship over Gaza.
