Weeks after the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire concluded, the Zionist war machine resumed brutal attacks, intensifying civilian targeting. This has caused more casualties and forced many residents to flee, worsening the already dire humanitarian crisis

The first phase of the ceasefire was a maneuver by the occupation, with no commitments implemented. Border crossings stayed closed, blocking vital aid to Gaza, and key provisions, like the release of Palestinian prisoners, were ignored. Meanwhile, Israel continued targeting Gaza and escalating violence in the West Bank, causing more casualties and destruction, reflecting ongoing policies of oppression and siege against Palestinians. The most recent attacks have resulted in more than 400 martyrs. 

The U.S. has directly supported Israel’s renewed aggression, offering unlimited political and military backing while pushing for further escalation with inflammatory rhetoric and threats. This aggression extends beyond Palestine, with attacks on Yemen, fueling regional tensions and conflict. Meanwhile, the international community remains silent and fails to act on these escalating violations.

The violations and lack of commitment from Israel during the first phase of the agreement signaled the return of aggression. This escalation also implicates the U.S. and other countries involved in the agreement. These nations now bear responsibility for ending Gaza’s suffering by pressuring Israel to stop its aggression, open crossings for aid, and halt attacks on civilians and infrastructure. Any leniency would prolong Palestinian suffering and worsen the humanitarian crisis, demanding a stronger stance from all parties involved.

The people of the world have not stopped supporting the just cause of the Palestinian people, as it reflects our humanity in the current time. We, at the IPA, stand in support of the Palestinian people’s struggles and demand:

• An end to the Zionist aggression and an end to the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
• The United States be held responsible for the worsening situation in the Gaza Strip and for pushing the region toward an all-out war.
• The parties involved in the agreement fulfill their role in pressuring Israel to end the aggression and comply with the agreed-upon terms.

In that regard, we call on the people of the world to continue our permanent mobilization in support of the Palestinian cause and:

• Organize a mass mobilization on March 30- Land Day, a historic day of Palestinian struggle.
• Organize mobilizations from March 18 to 30, to reject the escalation of Zionist aggression on the people of Gaza and to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
