Until Israel's Siege and Occupation End, Every Palestinian Remains a Hostage

The recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has been celebrated by Palestinians, providing some relief after prolonged violence and suffering. Celebratory scenes emerged as people expressed hope for an end to daily airstrikes and humanitarian crises. Hamas officials stated their commitment to uphold the ceasefire but warned of potential military action if Israel violates it. Despite this optimism, skepticism persists regarding Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's reliability in upholding the agreement, raising concerns about its longevity amidst ongoing tensions and humanitarian challenges that need addressing beyond the ceasefire.

I hope that this agreement will halt Israel's genocidal campaign and lead to the release of all the hostages taken on October 7 and the tens of thousands of Palestinian hostages languishing in Israeli jails under largely inhumane conditions.

We believe that this is a just cause, a just struggle and we have all the guaranteed right by the international law to resist the occupation by all means, including armed resistance.
