Statement of Support and Endorsement of the Strike for Steadfastness and Dignity in Ramallah and Al-Bireh, and a Call to Participate

The Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, proudly salutes the comrades, sisters, brothers, and all those taking part in the honorable hunger strike in the cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, in occupied Palestine, who have entered their twelfth day in a new battle for dignity: rejecting genocide and starvation, and standing in solidarity with steadfast Gaza and with the Palestinian people wherever they are.

This heroic initiative, led by more than 45 Palestinian men and women in the heart of the occupied West Bank, and now expanding to include the cities of Jenin, Nablus, and potentially Tulkarem and beyond, embodies the unity of our people. It expresses the authentic will of popular resistance in confronting the occupation and its allies, and reflects the pulse of the Palestinian street: refusing silence and surrender, and raising high the banner of confrontation and popular unity.

We call upon the masses of our people in exile and the free people of the world to support this qualitative act of struggle, to engage with it politically, on the ground, and in the media, and to work to amplify its voice everywhere, for the sake of our unified struggle, to expose the crimes of the occupation and those who back it, and to intensify and escalate popular revolutionary action against the policies of mass killing, starvation, and siege. We also call for the creation of solidarity tents with solidarity strikes in global cities and the international expansion of this initiative wherever possible.

All support and solidarity to the hunger strikers. We renew our pledge to stand together in every position, arena, and field of struggle.

Message from Struggler Omar Assaf on behalf of the Hunger Strikers

To our friends, activists, and Palestinian initiatives abroad: greetings from the homeland, greetings of steadfastness and resistance,

We address you on behalf of the hunger strikers in the city of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, now on our twelfth day, with approximately 45 men and women participating. The strike will extend tomorrow and the day after to Jenin and Nablus, and may also open in Tulkarem and other Palestinian cities. We turn to you and through you, to the sons and daughters of our people in exile, and to the friends of our people across the world to join us in this action and support us, so that it may reach the broadest possible areas and communities of the Palestinian people.

We are fully confident that we will stand together to stop the genocide, starvation, and aggression. Victory to our people, and defeat to the aggression and its accomplices.

On behalf of the hunger strikers,
Omar Assaf
