The Palestinian factions have reaffirmed their unified position that rejects any agreements on prisoner exchange deals unless a comprehensive cessation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza is brought to light.
The factions appreciated the efforts exerted at the official and popular levels worldwide in support of the Palestinian cause and in condemnation of the Israeli crimes.
This came in a statement issued by the factions following an emergency national meeting held on Thursday to discuss the developments in light of the continuation of the Israeli bloody aggression against the Palestinian people for the 97th day.
The factions, in their meeting, praised the steadfast Palestinian people and appreciated the sacrifices made by the martyrs, wounded, and prisoners.
The meeting also paid tribute to the valiant Palestinian resistance fighters, who have been deterring Israeli occupation forces since October 7.
The factions stressed that managing the Palestinian affairs and the affairs of the Gaza Strip is an internal Palestinian national matter.
The meeting also announced its full support of the ongoing relief efforts to boost the steadfastness of Palestinian people and to alleviate their suffering, expressing readiness to cooperate with the relevant government agencies and institutions in this regard.
The factions called on the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, 1948 Occupied Palestine, refugee camps and the diaspora to confront the Israeli aggression and plans.
The Palestinian factions stressed the necessity of the return of the displaced citizens to their homes in northern Gaza, calling on international institutions, especially the United Nations, to assume full responsibility and carry out its duty in the Gaza Strip.
The statement also praised the position of the Egyptian authorities for rejecting displacement projects, calling on Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to permanently open the Rafah border crossing to allow access of aid into Gaza and to immediately transfer thousands of the wounded Gazans to receive treatment abroad.
