General Ideas for Discussion at the International Political Meeting Organized by the Democratic Front,

On the Second Anniversary of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” Battle

The Foreign Relations Department of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine sends you its greetings and shares some general points that we hope will assist in preparing notes for the expanded political meeting to be held on the anniversary of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle.

Recently, the Palestinian issue has entered a highly dangerous phase, especially since Israeli objectives in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as at the regional level, have become explicit and very clear. They are no longer concealed behind any maneuvers but are being presented openly, without any attempt at disguise or concealment.

American Imperialism and the International System:

Through the gateway of Palestine and the region, American imperialism, in its renewed form, is fighting for survival and to maintain its control over the international political system, which has proven incapable of fulfilling the minimum aspirations of the world’s peoples. It is therefore not surprising that the United States, as the leader of the declining system, faces major global challenges, whether in economics, military power, control of technological keys, artificial intelligence, and other areas.

In confronting these challenges, the United States cannot abandon our region. When it supports Israel, its attention is focused on Russia, China, and Iran. Therefore, it exerts every possible effort to maintain its control over the region. It is also unsurprising that Western countries rally to defend Israel, because its loss would mean losing one of the most important regions in the world—politically, economically, and strategically.

The Israeli Plan and the Failure of Its War Objectives:

Israel, under the pretext of responding to the October 7 battle, believes that local, regional, and even international conditions provide the right circumstances to launch decisive battles on multiple fronts to achieve the goals of the Zionist movement, which is closely linked to imperialism and its objectives. Ideology has become the most influential factor in shaping decision-making. The decisive battles are:

• Settling the situation in the Gaza Strip according to Netanyahu’s five conditions.
• Settling the situation in the West Bank through the annexation of large areas of its territory.
• Settling the situation in Lebanon by disarming the resistance.Settling the conflict with Syria, undermining its geostrategic position in the region and neutralizing its role and influence.

Netanyahu believes that he is fulfilling the historical duty placed upon him, as he claims, reviving the Zionist doctrine of establishing a “Greater Israel” geographically, politically, and economically, relying on the principle of force to shape the new regional order.

Recognition of the State of Palestine and Its Prospects:

The expansion of recognition of the State of Palestine, especially by global decision-making capitals such as Paris and London, represents a political and moral gain for the Palestinian people. It reinforces their legitimate right to freedom, self-determination, and the establishment of a state according to international law and legitimacy. However, these recognitions still lack many elements that would pressure the United States and the occupation to take the correct path toward realizing a sovereign, independent Palestinian state, free from occupation and settlements.

The “Day After”:

Discussions about the so-called “day after” do not only concern the Gaza Strip and its future; they concern the entire national project. The American and Israeli sides see this “day” as a stage through which the occupation can reap the political fruits of its aggression, having failed to achieve its objectives in the war, and determine a political future for Gaza separate in all aspects from the national project, forming the basis for a solution limited to administrative self-rule.

The Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip is currently waging a war of attrition against Israeli occupation forces. Its results will be a key factor in determining the end of the aggressive war in Gaza and will have a positive impact on confrontations in the West Bank, thwarting Netanyahu’s project for the future of the Strip.

International Popular Movements:

While judicial developments, whether in international courts or at the national level in Western countries, are important, the Palestinian issue has become an urgent and pressing matter on the international and regional political agenda. It has become more present than ever and enjoys broad popular support and decisions that uphold Palestinian rights. This indicates the progress achieved by the Palestinian cause. Such movements are welcome, and we encourage their continuation.

The Palestinian issue, besides being the struggle of a people for national liberation and self-determination, has become a central factor in regional stability and security, and a key to strategic transformations.
