Ministry for Diaspora Affairs | October 2024

• “We, the General Union of Palestinian Teachers, while raising the banner of the heroism of our Palestinian people defending their eternal right to this land and striving to rid themselves of this tyrannical occupier, emphasize the need for our teachers to mobilize for all activities supporting the heroic resistance. We also stress that the General Union of Palestinian Teachers [is] in continuous communication with our brothers in the Ministry of Education to monitor the regular educational activities in schools in the northern districts [(the areas of Judea and Samaria)] in a way that ensures the safety of our students and teachers, and we will not neglect our social, professional, union, and national duties towards proud Gaza and its patient people”.

Here below is the translation of the entire statement: “How many small camps have prevailed over larger ones, with Allah’s permission. Allah is with those who stand firm.” (Surat Al-Baqarah, Verse 249, Translation: Uri Rubin). Our Palestinian people who pursue justice Today, our Palestinian people are conducting their most magnificent campaign ever. How could it be otherwise, as they are making this oppressive occupation taste the humiliation and disgrace, showing that the faces of its soldiers are wallowing in the mud of defeat by a group of our best Palestinian people, as proof to the entire world that this land is not vast enough except for [one] identity, the identity of the landowners and those with the right? Brothers and Sisters • “The violent Israeli bombardment, targeting civilian homes, residential towers, mosques, and universities, only proves the struggle of the criminal occupation and its inability to fight the heroes of the Palestinian resistance . Therefore, it sought an illusory victory to restore its army’s prestige, which the resistance heroes had torn apart and trampled under their feet . Its response has come against unarmed civilians, ignoring all international conventions and laws, and it has shown everyone its Nazi face , forgetting that nothing will divert this people from realizing its dream: the defeat of this occupier and the forceful capture of his independent state with Jerusalem as its capital”.
