For justice, for dignity, and for the right to life of the Palestinian people, social movements around the world, demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire NOW and accountability for the war crimes of the Israeli occupation! For over a year, the Israeli occupation has been waging a systematic campaign of mass murder that has resulted in the deaths of over 44,000 Palestinians, more than 104,000 wounded and more than 10,000 missing persons. The death toll continues to rise, particularly among children and women, as the brutality of the occupation continues unchecked. The use of heavy weapons, internationally banned white phosphorus, bombs, and relentless airstrikes has deliberately targeted civilians, healthcare infrastructure, schools and residential buildings. Severe restrictions on the entry of food and medical supplies have caused Gaza’s food systems to collapse, plunging Gaza into a famine zone, according to recent IPC reports. Already, 133,000 people have been classified as facing catastrophic food insecurity, resulting in widespread malnutrition. The risk of famine has been declared for the entire Gaza Strip between November 2024 and April 2025. Arbitrary and unfair detentions are increasing in the occupied territory, as are reports of ill-treatment, torture and inhumane conditions of detention. This situation deepens the settler colonial project and apartheid over Palestine, amid great impunity. It is urgent to continue to strengthen solidarity with the Palestinian people until their liberation. We will never be silent. Together, we must stand up for the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state justice and demand for the prosecution of the Israeli occupation for crimes committed against the Palestinian people. We also support the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. We demand all countries to respect their commitment towards the ICC and do their best to implement this ICC's decision.
