Palestinian journalist Ahmad Sabbahi sent a solidarity message to the conference of the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement — the Masar Badil — convened in São Paulo, Brazil, on March 28-April 1, 2026. The text of his message (in English translation) follows below:

To our friends in the Alternative Revolutionary Path who are holding their conference in South America, first, I wish you success in this conference, which is taking place amid major challenges affecting the Palestinian people, whether Palestinian refugees in the diaspora or those in Palestine, as well as the challenges facing the region due to US-Israeli aggression.

I send you greetings from Lebanon, where the Lebanese resistance is engaged in a fierce and intense battle with the Israeli occupation, recording great acts of heroism despite its limited capabilities against the most powerful force in the Middle East. The Lebanese resistance is achieving major accomplishments by targeting Israeli occupation soldiers and preventing Israeli incursions into southern Lebanon, or by targeting settlements in northern occupied Palestine, even reaching the point of striking the Israeli entity with rockets.

We all stand with the Lebanese resistance, and we hope the resistance will prevail in its battle amid major Israeli threats to invade southern Lebanon and establish a buffer zone, and even to impose a political decision in Lebanon to force a peace agreement with the Israeli occupation. This is what is currently being discussed.

Of course, I would also like to say from Lebanon that there has been a large wave of displacement among Lebanese people from southern Lebanon because of this aggression. The Tyre area has also been threatened, where Palestinian refugee camps are located. There is displacement taking place, which the Israeli occupation is also attempting through actions such as bombing the Qasmiyeh Bridge, which separates the southern side of the Litani River from the north, in an attempt to isolate southern Lebanon and cut supply lines. But we are confident that the Lebanese resistance is capable of continuing the fight. The Israeli enemy is threatening an invasion of Lebanon and the imposition of a fait accompli, but the Lebanese people remain steadfast, as do the Palestinian refugees, and we all stand with one voice alongside the Lebanese resistance.

This conference is also being held amid major challenges facing the Palestinian cause. The West Bank is facing continuous attacks by settlers, and there is a large-scale campaign of displacement. The latest United Nations figures speak of thousands who have been displaced from the West Bank due to settler attacks and because of the policies of the Israeli occupation. This poses a major challenge for our people in the West Bank to remain steadfast in the face of these ongoing attacks.

Your conference is also taking place while Gaza remains under siege. Gaza continues to be under siege and under bombardment, and every day there are martyrs. But the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are also steadfast and resilient, standing behind the resistance. This is the message of the Palestinian people: steadfastness and endurance.

Your conference is also being held while the region faces a U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, and unfortunately amid, at the very least, Arab silence about it. But Iran too remains steadfast and resilient, confronting and fighting what is described as American-Israeli arrogance.

The challenges facing Palestinians in the coming phase are many, amid the U.S.-Israeli offensive against the region and against Palestine. Much may be required, but the first thing demanded of Palestinian refugees and of the Palestinian people is steadfastness. We must all remain firm in our rights and always demand, as Palestinians, our rights to our land—and as refugees, the right to return to Palestine.

Second, we must always support the resistance. The path of resistance is the right choice. All previous approaches and solutions have proven to be failures. Therefore, the Palestinian people and Palestinian refugees have no option but to support the resistance, whether in Palestine or in Lebanon, or in Iran, in confronting American-Israeli arrogance in order to secure our rights and to achieve independence and a complete Palestine from the river to the sea.

I also believe it is the duty of Palestinian refugees and the Palestinian diaspora around the world to keep applying pressure, taking to the streets, protesting, and staging sit-ins, and to confront these unjust Western policies toward the Palestinian people, and to continue this struggle and confrontation to pressure for a possible change in Western and European policies.

Yesterday, Trump said that after Iran, America’s enemy is the democratic left, or left-wing Democrats. If that is truly the case and they oppose Trump, then we are all democratic leftists—we are all leftists, all democrats, all standing against capitalism and American arrogance in the region.

I would also like to say that any assistance provided to the Palestinian people and to Palestinian refugees is important, whatever form it takes.

I sincerely wish you great success in your conference and that it will produce clear points, outcomes, and initiatives, as well as a vision that serves the struggle of the Palestinian people and the struggles of peoples in the region in confronting U.S.-Israeli aggression and American-Israeli dominance—not only in our region, but also in South America and across the world, where there must be struggle, confrontation, and steadfastness so that these peoples can obtain their rights and their freedom.

Wishing you every success in your conference. I wish you all success and the best of luck. My greetings to you all, my comrades.
