In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
“People of the university of martyrs, O all the masses of our people.”
We send our greetings to our steadfast people in Gaza, to the heroes of the tunnels who write our glory every day, to the makers of our dignity and honor, to those who endured and challenged the prison and the jailer, our brave prisoners. To our fighters in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the occupied lands, to those who adhere to the path of resistance and revolution, to the bravest among us all, the hero of the Brigade, Abu Shujaa [“Father of the Brave”].
On the 293rd day of the genocide against the Palestinian people, the Security Forces of the [Palestinian] Authority continue to participate in our extermination, oppression, and repression. As the martyr Basil Al-Araj said, “The Palestinian Authority participates in our extermination.” In light of what happened today, we affirm the following:
Firstly: Since October 7th, the Security Forces of the [Palestinian] Authority continue to practice the most heinous forms of submission and normalization with the zionst entity and align with its vision. Those who demanded accountability and honored the tunnel fighters after what happened on October 7 were met with suppressed marches, and many fighters were killed at their hands, some handed over to the cowardly entity and others tortured.
Secondly: We condemn this disgraceful behavior and salute the courage of our people in Tulkarem who rose to prevent the Security Forces from arresting Commander Abu Shujaa, who has survived several times under showers of bullets and today survives with a human shield led by the mothers of the martyrs and supported by the people, after being besieged in Thabet Thabet Hospital.
Thirdly: All the forces and activities of our people, and all the honorable members and affiliates of the Authority and its Security Forces, are called today to unite in rejection of the conspiracy against our people and to confront the plans that the zionists, Americans, and their allies are weaving to break the resistance with Palestinian hands, unfortunately. There is no excuse today for those who choose to continue betting on the absurd and treacherous path of negotiations.
For we, from the heart of the university of martyrs, the university of prisoners, call on the members of the Security Forces to align with the true direction with the compass of the people. Our choice is resistance and the exclusion of those who do not believe in it. Be among the sons of Abu Jandal and follow the path of resistance and nothing else. Those who detach from their people today will regret it tomorrow.
