Palestinians inside, outside Palestine revive Nakba 77th anniversary
Ramallah - Saba:
The Palestinian people in Palestine and the Diaspora on Wednesday commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Nakba under the slogan: "We will not leave... Palestine belongs to the Palestinians..." Rejecting the crime of genocide and forced displacement, defending inalienable national rights, and in light of the ongoing targeting of the refugee issue, the camps, and UNRWA.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), for the second year in a row, the Nakba commemoration comes at a very exceptional time, given the unprecedented catastrophic conditions the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are experiencing due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, which has lasted 583 days. This is a scene reminiscent of the bloody massacres perpetrated by the Israeli enemy in displaced Palestinian villages and towns.
The daily scene in the West Bank is also marked by bloodshed. The Israeli aggression machine almost ceases its almost daily raids, destruction, killing, displacement, and arrests, accompanied by abuse, against Palestinian cities and villages.
This is particularly evident in the ongoing aggression on the Tulkarm and Jenin refugee camps, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens, the displacement of more than 40,000 from their homes, and the systematic destruction of infrastructure.
Large Palestinian crowds commemorate the Nakba at a central festival in central Ramallah
Large crowds of Palestinians participated in the central festival, which began in front of the tomb of the late martyr Yasser Arafat and proceeded to Al-Manara Square. The Palestinian flag, black banners, and keys of return were raised during the march.
Participating in the march, called for by the Department of Refugee Affairs and the Palestinian Higher National Committee to Commemorate the Nakba, were members of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Central Committee of the Fatah Movement, members of the Revolutionary Council, national action factions, a number of ministers, and representatives of official and popular institutions and civil society organizations.

Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine: U.S. Veto confirms direct complicity in Gaza Genocide
Gaza – SABA: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) strongly condemned the U.S. administration's use of the veto at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday, which blocked a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP described this move as a brazen continuation of the U.S. role in covering up the ongoing genocide committed by the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people. The statement read: 'It is not surprising that the U.S. administration would take such a position. It is directly participating in the aggression on Gaza by supplying the Zionist enemy with the most lethal internationally banned weapons, while granting it political and legal cover to continue its dirty war against our defenseless people.' The PFLP emphasized that the U.S. veto represents a deliberate insistence by the U.S. administration on direct involvement in the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, making it morally and legally responsible for the massacres and genocide being committed—particularly against children, women, civilians, and the displaced. The group further stated that the American veto is another chapter in the historical hostility of successive U.S. administrations toward the Palestinian people. It exposes the deep moral hypocrisy in American policy, which justifies the crimes of the Zionist enemy and gives it a green light to continue the slaughter. The PFLP held the U.S. fully responsible for this decision and called on freedom-loving people within the United States to stand against these criminal policies and to continue efforts aimed at ending the U.S. complicity with the Zionist entity in the atrocities being committed against the Palestinian people.

U.S. Veto Blocks UN Security Council Resolution to Stop Genocide in Gaza
New York – SABA: The United Nations Security Council failed to pass a resolution on Wednesday evening calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after the United States used its veto power to block the measure. The draft resolution, submitted by several member states including Algeria, Slovenia, and Denmark, called for an immediate halt to hostilities in Gaza. The U.S. veto demonstrated Washington's ongoing support for the Israeli occupation, which continues to commit acts of genocide and daily massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Fourteen out of the fifteen Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution. Only the United States voted against, using its veto to prevent its adoption. With continued American and European backing, the Israeli military has, since October 7, 2023, carried out a campaign in Gaza that has resulted in the martyrdom of 54,607 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and the injury of 125,341 others. These figures remain incomplete, as thousands of victims are still trapped under rubble and in streets unreachable by rescue and medical crews. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
