CEASEFIRE WON THROUGH RESISTANCE! STRENGTHEN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN STRUGGLE FOR A JUST PEACE.

The October 2025 ceasefire stands as a resounding victory for the steadfast Palestinian resistance and a decisive exposure of the Zionist entity’s political and military failure. After two years of a brutal campaign of annihilation, mass displacement, and genocidal violence, the Zionist objective to break the will of Palestine has been shattered against the the courage of the people and their resistance. This steadfastness which resulted in the triumphant liberation of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners from the Zionist jails, including 250 high-level political prisoners serving life sentences, on October 13, 2025. This act is a direct result of the resistance’s strategic strength.

The Palestinian masses and their resistance forces hold no illusions about the character of the Zionist entity, a settler-colonial, genocidal project that will do everything it can to undermine the Palestinian right to self determination and liberation. Therefore, this agreement is not a concession to the enemy but a tactical necessity in a long war of liberation. Such periods are strategically utilized by the resistance to regroup, rearm, and further secure the release of Palestinian prisoners from Zionist concentration camps. The unity and popular joy surrounding the prisoners' return demonstrates the invincible spirit of the Palestinian national struggle.

However, without the full liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea, any cessation of violence is only a temporary pause. It cannot represent a durable peace, because the Zionist project depends on the war and demise of the Palestinian people for its existence.

The path to this point has exposed the true nature of the conflict. Zionism stands unmasked as a fascist, colonial project, supported by an Israeli political consensus that rejects a Palestinian state. The staggering scale of U.S. complicity is clear: over $21.7 billion in military aid since October 2023 has enabled a genocide the world has watched for two years, facilitated by a complicit Western media. The inhumane forced starvation has already killed over 455 people since 2023, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, and 98% of the land has been deemed unlivable. With the ceasefire, aid can enter Gaza, but the terms of its enforcement are subject to the whims of US president Donald Trump and international institutions who were unwilling to act earlier to stop the genocide. As of this writing, the Zionist entity has already unilaterally declared that it will allow only 300 aid trucks to enter Gaza rather than the 600 stipulated in the agreement.

Under these genocidal conditions, the Palestinian Resistance factions have tactfully negotiated the ceasefire deal, from the starting point of Trump's 20 point plan, a thinly veiled Israeli plan for furthering its colonial project. This comes as an urgent means to end the genocide and secure an Israeli withdrawal and prisoner exchange, while biding time for further negotiations in the framework of Palestinian national unity, rejecting the trap of Trump and Netanyahu trying to force the Palestinian resistance to disarm and sell out sovereignty to a foreign colonial leadership body. It should be noted that "Israel" has violated every ceasefire that it has signed with Palestine, Iran, Lebanon and Yemen. "Israel's" long-standing strategy of crushing diplomatic alternatives and unleashing military operations like Protective Edge and Cast Lead forged a generation that burst through the military blockade imprisoning Gaza on October 7. This pause provides a crucial opportunity for the resistance to bring essential aid to a traumatized people all while refusing to surrender.

The global landscape has shifted dramatically since October 7, 2023. Public disgust with the US role is palpable, and solidarity must not wane. We must escalate pressure through concrete measures: targeting the weapons manufacturers and war profiteers, more states implementing arms embargoes and diplomatically isolating Israel, halting public investment in companies complicit in genocide, and enforcing international law against all complicit states, as per the Genocide Convention.

While this ceasefire is a necessary step forward, it is not the liberation that the Palestinians and all free people deserve. Liberation remains a long process and the struggle must continue towards it. This moment is a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people and a call to strengthen our solidarity with their march forward to ultimately achieve a free Palestine from the River to the Sea. ​
