Amid the ongoing Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, as the siege, starvation, and daily massacres intensify, the dimensions of international and regional complicity are being exposed with increasing brazenness and openness. At the heart of this complicity, both the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the French Republic are playing a suspicious role, attempting to reimpose what is called the “two-state solution” as a political exit, precisely at a time when people are being annihilated, the land is being burned, and homes are being demolished on top of their inhabitants.

What Paris and Riyadh are promoting is nothing short of an open political genocide, recycling of a failed and dangerous project, one that seeks to liquidate the Palestinian cause under the guise of so-called “international legitimacy.” And yet, what is being proposed occurs entirely outside the framework of all UN resolutions related to the Palestinian question, flawed as those resolutions may be. It is a continuation of what was started by Camp David, Oslo, Wadi Araba, and the Abraham Accords — the systematic violation of Palestinian rights and the fragmentation of the goals of the Palestinian national struggle.

How is it possible to speak of “two states” in the context of comprehensive occupation from the river to the sea, of accelerating colonial settlement in the West Bank, and of collective massacres being committed against children, women, and men in Gaza? How can a people who have resisted for over seven decades be offered a state on paper, without sovereignty, without an army, without the right of return? And why is a people fighting on behalf of the entire Arab nation being asked to surrender all of its rights?

France has always been a principal partner in the Western colonial and imperialist project in our region. Today, it continues this filthy role through its full support for the Zionist entity, its refusal to halt arms exports, and its brutal repression of any public expression of support for Palestine on its own soil. Paris falsely and brazenly presents itself as an “honest broker,” while it stands firmly in the same trench as Washington and Tel Aviv, hosting conferences that seek to entrench the system of occupation. Indeed, it has managed to dilute the positions of several European countries, including Ireland, Norway, Belgium, and Spain.

As for the repressive, obscurantist Saudi regime, after years of ideological, religious, and political preparation, it no longer even pretends to be ashamed of its strategic partnership with the Zionist entity. It openly presents full normalization as a “rational” path that the rest of the Arab states should follow. For the rulers of Riyadh, Palestine is nothing more than a bargaining chip to improve the terms of U.S. protection. They are not embarrassed by their open conspiracy against the resistance or by their pressure to disarm it and strip it of legitimacy, even if the price is the extermination of two million people in Gaza. This comes as no surprise: this is the same bloody regime that led a criminal war against the people of Yemen.

The essence of the so-called “two-state solution” is nothing but the legitimation of the Zionist entity, the enshrinement of defeat, and the consolidation of a racist colonial entity on 90% of the land of Palestine — not just the 78% commonly cited. In return, it proposes a weak, fragmented, and functional Palestinian entity confined to the few remaining besieged islands in the West Bank and Gaza, whose presence will not exceed more than 10% of the land, without any guarantees for the right of return, the dismantling of settlements, or the release of prisoners. This is not a project for a just solution; it is a liquidation project. It seeks to strip the Palestinian people of the essence of their cause: liberation and return.

The New York Declaration: Total Capitulation and a State on Paper

In this context, the danger of the so-called “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question,” issued recently, becomes apparent. It states: “We welcomed the commitments made by Mahmoud Abbas on behalf of Palestine, contained in his letter dated 9 June 2025, including the pursuit of a peaceful settlement to the Palestinian issue and the continued rejection of violence and terrorism.” The statement continues: “We also welcomed his affirmation that the Palestinian state should be the sole authority responsible for providing security in its territory, but it does not intend to be an armed state.”

This formulation does not merely mark an attempted official declaration of the end of the Palestinian national project and total surrender to the conditions of occupation and Zionism. It also represents the death of the so-called “Palestinian state,” even by the standards of the “Authority” itself, which has tried to market this idea among our people. A “state” without land, without arms, without resistance, without decision-making power, without sovereignty, one that accepts Western and Saudi guardianship, is nothing more than a security appendage of the Zionist system. It has nothing to do with the aspirations of our people for liberation and sovereignty. It is even more grotesque than the infamous limited “self-rule” project.

The bitter irony in this repulsive scene is that the Zionist enemy itself does not even accept this content-less program, as it refuses even “Mahmoud Abbas’s vision” and the Oslo liquidation agreements, despite the fact that these were originally crafted to protect it, consolidate its occupation, and constrain our people’s resistance. So perhaps we can take some comfort in the fact that the Zionist war criminals and their backers are working to sabotage this project! In the presence of impotent and complicit Palestinian leaderships and Arab regimes, Zionist colonialism leans on them to carry out the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.

This dangerous phase demands absolute and uncompromising Palestinian, Arab and international popular rejection of this treacherous liquidation project. It requires us to seize back the initiative from the hands of these puppet regimes, and to escalate the popular, political, financial, and military support for the Palestinian resistance by all means necessary. The experience of the past decades has proven that the Zionist enemy understands only the language of force, and that rights are not restored through negotiations and false mediations, but through armed struggle and comprehensive resistance.

All of occupied Palestine, from the river to the sea, is the sacred right of the Palestinian people, and it is non-negotiable. The right of return for refugees is inalienable, not subject to delay or bargaining. Anyone who promotes the fragmentation or diminishment of these rights is part of the liquidation project, whether they cloak themselves in religion or raise the banner of secularism and democracy. No perfume from Paris or Riyadh will mask the stench of their treacherous project.

This episode presents a critical view of the Persian Gulf states— Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar— highlighting their decision to offer $3 trillion in contracts and promises to Donald Trump, whom the author mockingly refers to as the "Sultan of the world."

It argues that this enormous sum, if strategically invested within the region, could have sparked a profound transformation in the Arab world, improving economic, social, and political conditions. Instead, the money flows outward, reinforcing a pattern of dependency on Western powers.

The narrative draws attention to the submissive role Gulf leaders play in this dynamic, comparing their behavior to that of governors under a global empire, much like the Ottoman Muqata'ah system.

Through a relatable example of a young Arab football fan paying more than his Western counterpart for the same content, the text exposes the subtle economic mechanisms that funnel wealth from the Arab world to the West.

Gaza's famine is accelerating at an unprecedented rate.

133 lives have been lost to starvation. 87 were children. July alone saw 67 martyrs of famine, more than all previous months combined.

This is not a statistic. These are human beings dying while food sits at closed borders, while the zionists and Arab regimes pretend to help.

Break the siege now.

A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World:

A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide

To all free workers everywhere,

To our comrades in trade unions and labor federations around the world,

We bring to you the statement of the workers of Gaza, issued by the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions, addressed to the workers and unions of the world—this final appeal they have named “A Cry Before Death.” It reaches us from the midst of hunger and siege, from beneath the rubble of factories and homes, and from the heart of a continuing war of extermination that has gone on for nearly 22 months alongside a systematic policy of mass starvation executed by “Israel” with direct support from the United States and its European partners.

The statement reads: “The Israeli war has destroyed 80% of Gaza’s homes, all of its factories, workshops, and sources of livelihood, and most of its farmland has been bulldozed.”

Indeed, the lives of workers, fishermen, farmers, and all productive social sectors in the besieged Strip have been turned into a living hell. Their families are now without shelter and without income. There is no food and no medicine. One worker says: “We are besieged by American and European weapons, choked by hunger, neglect, and silence — all in an attempt to destroy our lives, to break our resilience, and to crush the will of resistance in our people.”

We address you today once again, not merely as victims, but as the workers of Palestine: an integral part of the popular and working classes of this world, struggling for justice, liberation, and dignity. And we call upon you to:

Break the silence and complicity, raise your voices within your unions and federations, and denounce the policies of starvation, siege, and massacre in Gaza.

Pressure your governments to end arms deals and military cooperation with the occupation, and to impose sanctions on the Zionist settler-colonial and apartheid regime.

Boycott companies that support the occupation, and withdraw union investments from any company, institution, or entity involved in funding or profiting from the war.

Organize days of rage and global solidarity in factories and workshops, in ports and airports, in the streets and public squares, in support of Palestine and its brave people.

We especially appeal to the unions of seafarers and port workers, urging them to refuse to load or unload “Israeli” ships or those bound for Zionist ports, and to halt any form of maritime or commercial cooperation with the tools of war and siege. Your strong hands and awakened consciences are capable of halting the machinery of extermination and stopping the shipments of death sent to Palestine. Show all humanity the power of the struggling working class when it rises united in defense of justice and human values.

From here, we proudly and gratefully salute our comrades, the port workers in Greece, for their principled and courageous stance, and their leading role in boycotting “Israeli” ships and rejecting complicity in war crimes. We also salute the labor unions in Norway, Spain, France, Canada, and elsewhere for their pioneering role in impactful solidarity with our people through the boycott of occupation institutions. We call upon all labor unions around the world to cut ties with the so-called “Histadrut”, the Zionist organization that claims to belong to the working class while participating in the siege of Palestinian workers, justifying the genocide in Gaza, and serving as an integral part of the Israeli occupation apparatus.

Comrades, What is being carried out today in Gaza is a crime of mass starvation in full view of the world: its aim is to displace us and expel us from our land. This is not only a war of physical extermination; it is a series of crimes that surpass everything committed by Nazism and fascism in Europe. It is carried out with the aim of subjugating us by destroying the very conditions of life and human dignity. Yet the popular working classes and their free unions around the world possess a legacy of history, strength, and courage sufficient to defeat these criminal policies — if they unite their ranks and raise their voice in confrontation with colonialism, Zionism, and the savagery of capitalism.

We promise you: We will rebuild the universities, schools, institutions, and factories of Gaza again, as we have always done after every American-Zionist war of destruction. And we will continue our steadfastness, no matter how great the hardships and challenges.

Let us turn anger into action, and solidarity into a concrete stance. Let us break the policy of starvation and raise the banner of labor struggle for justice—For a free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

The Workers’ Cry Before Death

A cry we raise to speak to the consciences and dignity of our comrades in the unions, to call for mobilization in support of children who cannot find milk or a morsel of bread, for mothers whose breasts have dried up, for patients waiting to die of hunger, for elders who fear dying of hunger, and for workers who can find neither work nor bread.

Our free comrades, For 22 months, the occupation has carried out the killing of civilians and the destruction of homes—destroying 80% of Gaza’s houses, all of its factories, bulldozing most of its agricultural lands, and closing off most sources of livelihood.

Honorable colleagues, We think well of you, so roll up your sleeves to break the siege on Gaza. We await from you a human and moral role to save Gaza from a blockade in which the criminal occupation has sealed every window for the entry of food, medicine, and water to its people.

Our union comrades, We await your role in delivering the cry of the children and workers of Gaza to decision-makers and to the streets. You are the most worthy of carrying this responsibility—so be our support, move the streets, and stop the arms deals that are killing children, women, and workers. Mobilize the sympathizers and supporters to break the siege on Gaza, and deliver your free voice to the decision-makers.

There is no excuse for those who abandon Gaza and its people, or who abandon the workers.

Gaza will remain a witness to those who stood with the cry for humanity and the cry for freedom, and it will remain a symbol for the free people of the world.

EuroMed human rights monitor reports:

When the first groups arrived, Israeli tanks were already stationed in the area. Soldiers then used loudspeakers to command: “Raise your hands and walk in front of the tanks—those who want flour, come forward.” Around 200 civilians complied.

As they neared the aid trucks, Israeli forces suddenly opened heavy fire directly at their heads, instantly killing dozens. Others were left crawling, wounded, and bleeding. The massacre left 80 dead and over 520 injured, many of whom are in critical condition.

Notably, these attacks coincide with the peak of mass starvation across the Gaza Strip, where deaths from malnutrition are now documented and dozens have been hospitalised due to exhaustion and lack of food.

Caption reads;

In the early hours of July 13, activists took direct action against a Raytheon Technologies warehouse in 838 55 Ave NE, AB, Calgary, Canada in strong opposition to the company’s role in the ongoing Israeli genocide on the Palestinian people. The vandalism includes smashed windows, a fire set within the warehouse and “Let Gaza Live” spray painted in red across the exterior.

The action was done in service of the global revolution against imperialism and in solidarity with the people of Gaza who even before October 2023 have suffered incremental genocide by decades of siege, dispossession and periodic bombing campaigns, and since October 2023 have been subjected to one of the most atrocious campaign of mass annihilation the modern era has ever seen. Actionists are demanding the Canadian government to impose a 2 way arms embargo on Israel and to restrict Canadian facilities from producing components sent to Israel via intermediaries such as the United States.

Breaking | In an urgent and important press statement, Gaza Health Ministry reports and appeals to the world:

⭕️Unprecedented numbers of starved civilians of all ages are arriving at emergency departments in severe exhaustion and fatigue.

⭕️We warn that hundreds of severely emaciated Palestinians are at imminent risk of death due to hunger and their bodies’ inability to endure any longer.

Gaza Update Summary (July 16th - July 19th, 2025)

🚨 The past four days have been defined by a dual crisis of escalating IOF massacres and a catastrophic, deepening famine. IOF operations systematically targeted civilians in designated "safe zones" and at aid distribution points, particularly in Khan Younis and Rafah, while the north faced relentless demolition. We saw the famine's death toll rise, sparking popular protests against aid hoarders as the humanitarian situation collapsed completely.

Wednesday, July 16th: The slaughter of civilians was marked by a horrific massacre at an American aid distribution center in Rafah, where over 20 martyrs ascended due to suffocation and gas, including those on a "pre-approved list." This pattern was repeated throughout the day, targeting the displaced and hungry in tents in Mawasi Khan Younis and Nusseirat. Shelters were not spared, as the IOF bombed the Abu Helou school in Bureij, resulting in 4 martyrs, and struck the historic Latin Church in Gaza City, resulting in 3 martyrs from the Christian community. In Jabalia, the entire Shahab famil (father, mother, and their five daughters) was annihilated under the rubble of their home. 94 martyrs ascended and over 370 were wounded. 26 aid seekers were martyred as well.

Thursday, July 17th: The crisis of starvation reached a terrifying new peak, with children like Zain Al-Dremeili ascending due to malnutrition and reports of people collapsing from hunger in the streets. The bombardment escalated on Khan Younis, with airstrikes, artillery, and demolitions. IOF drones targeted tents in Mawasi. New evacuation orders were issued in Jabalia, and a strike resulted in 8 martyrs near Tawam roundabout who were protecting an aid convoy. At least 50 martyrs ascended on Thursday.

Friday, July 18th: The deepening famine ignited a "Revolution of the Hungry", with citizens storming merchants' warehouses in search food, only to be met with IOF drone fire. The IOF's campaign of genomicde continued with the massacre of the Abu Sahloul family in Khan Younis, where at least 8 were martyred under the rubble of their home. The famine claimed another life as the infant Sanaa Al-Lahham ascended, while in Deir al-Balah, 5 more were martyred in the chaos of an aid delivery. Further, the IOF continued to bomb tents, such as in Mawasi. A strike in Jabalia Al-Nazla claimed 5 more martyrs, while a bombing of a school saw two more. Another 50 martyrs on Friday.

Saturday, July 19th: Between the famine and bombing, another day of horrific massacres against entire families. We saw the annihilation of the Aql family in Nusseirat, where a single strike resulted in 12 martyrs, mostly women and children. The slaughter of the hungry reached a new low with over 60 martyrs ascending, including 35 aid seekers killed by IOF fire near the "Netzarim" axis. The famine continued to claim children's lives, including Joad Al-Anqar and Yahya Al-Najjar, as the IOF expanded its operations to the sea, raiding the Gaza beach and abducting several fishermen. Northern Gaza saw intense bombing in Sheikh Radwan and Jabalia, as well as martyrs killed while attempting to reach their homes. Today, over 116 martyrs have ascended so far, including 38 aid seekers.

Over 310 martyrs ascended in the last four days, amidst international and global silence despite calls for escalation and action. #GazaSummary
