Marking the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement reaffirmed its commitment to the path of resistance, condemning what the ongoing Israeli aggression, while voicing rejection to disarmament calls.
In a statement, The Islamic Jihad Movement said the anniversary in which Palestine was occupied by Zionists, comes amid an escalation of the US-backed Israeli aggression, stressing that the confrontation is not limited to Palestine but extends across the wider region.
The movement warned that the Israeli project is part of broader ambitions for expansion and regional dominance, citing statements by Israeli leaders on territorial control and references to a so-called “Greater Israel,” which pose a growing threat to Arab and Islamic national security amid continued military operations in Gaza and the West Bank.
The Islamic Jihad further described ongoing developments as continuous crimes, including killings, arrests, siege measures, and the destruction of infrastructure in both Gaza and the West Bank, in addition to repeated incursions into Islamic and Christian holy sites, particularly Al-Aqsa Mosque.
On the issue of prisoners, Islamic Jihad said measures targeting detainees amount to a retaliatory policy linked to the Israeli occupation’s inability to confront resistance.
It also accused ‘Israel’ of targeting Palestinian refugees and undermining the work of UNRWA, warning of efforts to erode the right of return.
The movement concluded by stating that Israeli occupation is facing an existential crisis despite its military operations, reiterating its commitment to armed resistance and calling for broader regional and international support for the Palestinian cause.
