<p>BEIRUT, (PIC)</p>
<p>Five Palestinian resistance factions have affirmed their adherence to
their position of halting the Israeli aggression on Gaza before
conducting any prisoner exchange and agreed on the formation of a
national unity government at a later stage.</p>
<p>This came in a meeting held in Beirut on Thursday by the Palestinian
factions: Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine- General Command, the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine, and the Democratic Front.</p>
<p>The attendees discussed the developments in Al-Aqsa Flood Battle and
the Israeli ongoing aggression on the Palestinian people in the Gaza
Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem as well as the political
consultations to reach a permanent halt of the aggression.</p>
<p>The factions saluted the steadfastness of the Palestinian people, and
the resistance for standing up to the Israeli displacement plans and
the genocidal war taking place in Gaza.</p>
<p>They also saluted the valiant resistance fighters in the occupied
Palestinian territories especially those in the Gaza Strip who thwarted
Israel’s goals, inflicted heavy losses in life and equipment on the
Israeli army, and destroyed its reputation in the region which is
attributed to the resistance’s unity, tactics, and courage that exceeded
all expectations.</p>
<p>The factions stressed the need for an immediate ceasefire and
cessation of Israel’s genocidal war and ethnic cleansing of Gaza,
lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip and allowing the entry of medical
and humanitarian aid as well as food, water and fuel supplies into the
besieged Strip and transferring the injured to receive treatment abroad.</p>
<p>They emphasized the need for the commitment of Gaza reconstruction by
Arab and Muslim countries in addition to the international community,
calling for international initiatives to provide the displaced with
temporary prefab homes.</p>
<p>The factions also agreed on the necessity of confronting the
consequences of the barbaric war on the Palestinian people with a
unified struggle strategy that represents the Palestinian cause as a
cause of national liberation.</p>
<p>To that end, they pledged to come up with several proposals. First,
calling for an inclusive binding national meeting that includes all
parties without exception, to implement what was agreed upon in previous
national dialogues, and to confront the consequences of the barbaric
war on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the brutal attacks
by settler gangs and occupation forces in the West Bank and Jerusalem.</p>
<p>They suggested a Palestinian national solution based on the
establishment of a national unity government with comprehensive
Palestinian national consensus.</p>
<p>The factions demanded halting the aggression on Gaza, withdrawing the
Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, bringing in humanitarian and relief
aid and fuel in addition to transferring the wounded to receive
treatment abroad, and reaching a prisoner exchange deal on the basis of
all for all.</p>
<p>The factions hailed the Palestinian martyrs and wounded especially in
the Gaza Strip and paid tribute to the people of the Arab and Muslim
nation and the free people of the world who stand with the Palestinian
people and cause, denounce Israeli terrorism, and support the
Palestinian people’s right to defend itself, land and sanctities.</p>
