📝 30/8/2026 - Prisoners Institutions Statement : On the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances For the third consecutive year, the occupation continues the crime of enforced disappearance against hundreds of detainees from Gaza, leaving the fate of hundreds of them unknown Enforced disappearance has become a systematic policy and a cover for crimes of torture, killing, and concealment. The continued lack of information about the fate of detainees constitutes an ongoing crime that requires accountability. On the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, Palestinian prisoners’ institutions affirm that the Israeli occupation authorities continue, for the third consecutive year, to use “enforced disappearance” as a systematic policy against thousands of Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip who were arrested during the years of the crime of genocide. To this day, the fate and places of detention of a large number of them remain unknown. The institutions stress that the occupation’s continued withholding of information about detainees, its refusal to disclose their names, places of detention, and health conditions, and its denial of contact with their families, lawyers, and human rights organizations do not constitute merely isolated violations of detainees’ rights. Rather, they form an integrated system of enforced disappearance, used to strip detainees of legal protection and create conditions conducive to torture, ill-treatment, medical crimes, and other violations, away from oversight and accountability.

🚨 Palestinian Factions and Institutions Condemn Ben-Gvir's Storming and Filming of Female Prisoners in "Damon" Prison: 🟢 Hamas — Denounced the storming as a manifestation of "fascism and political and moral degeneracy," warning that the resistance cannot remain silent about such retaliatory behavior used as cheap propaganda. ⚫️ PIJ — Held the occupation government fully responsible for the prisoners' safety, mocking Ben-Gvir by recalling how Netanyahu is pursued for war crimes and how Israeli leaders "hid like rats" during Iranian missile strikes. 🇵🇸 The Palestinian Prisoners' Club — Emphasized that the footage is part of a systematic policy of extermination and torture that has martyred over 100 detainees, noting that testimonies reveal abuses including beatings, starvation, isolation, and Ben-Gvir physically stepping on prisoners' heads.

🇵🇸 Statement Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas : In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Press Statement The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas affirms that the storming by extremist Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of the cells of Palestinian women prisoners, and his turning of their suffering into a staged spectacle before the cameras, reflects the level of fascism and political and moral degradation. It also exposes the retaliatory terrorist mentality governing the conduct of the occupation and its leaders, something our people and their resistance cannot remain silent about. We warn of the danger of the continued transformation of occupation prisons into open arenas for violations, humiliation, threats, torture, and killing, and of occupation leaders exploiting the suffering of our male and female prisoners as cheap electoral propaganda. We stress that these crimes require effective action at all levels to support their cause and put an end to their suffering. The international community's and United Nations and human rights institutions' inability to hold the occupation accountable and pursue its leaders is what has encouraged the continuation of these violations and their transformation into a daily practice. Statements expressing concern and condemnation are not enough as long as the occupation continues its crimes without accountability or a deterrent punishment. We call on our people, the national and Islamic forces, human rights and media organizations, and free people around the world to elevate the issue of prisoners, men and women, to the highest levels, expose the occupation's crimes against them, pursue those responsible, and refuse to allow their suffering to become normalized or turned into an accepted reality.

🔴 Palestinian Prisoners Society : Ben-Gvir’s raid on the women prisoners’ section at “Damon” prison exposes a continuing policy of turning crimes, genocide, and the destruction of Palestinian human beings into political spectacle 30 August 2026 – Ramallah The raid by extremist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on the women prisoners’ section at “Damon” Prison, along with filming the prisoners and publishing footage from inside the section, constitutes a continuation of a systematic policy targeting male and female prisoners and turning their suffering, violations of their rights, and the ongoing genocide into material for political spectacle and propaganda. Ben-Gvir’s actions go beyond inciting rhetoric against prisoners to constitute actual incitement to humiliate and abuse them, and to turn prisons into arenas for political spectacle, in an attempt to gain support within Israeli society by boasting about the persecution of male and female prisoners. The photographs and videos published by the occupation prison system, including footage released by Ben-Gvir, reflect only a small fraction of the reality of systematic torture and abuse inside prisons and detention camps. Specialized organizations have documented hundreds of testimonies concerning these practices since the beginning of the crime of genocide, both through legal teams and testimonies from released prisoners. The documented testimonies have revealed widespread practices of beatings, humiliation, starvation, deprivation of medical care, and isolation. They have also included forcing prisoners during repression operations to keep their heads and faces pressed against the ground, in a practice intended to humiliate them and degrade their human dignity. Testimonies from prisoners have also included accounts of Ben-Gvir’s practices during his visits to prisons, including stepping on prisoners’ heads and filming acts of their humiliation and abuse. With regard to the women prisoners, we stressed that Ben-Gvir’s raid on their section and filming of them took place amid harsh conditions imposed on them by the occupation prison administration, and amid escalating policies of isolation, restrictions, and deprivation of basic rights. This has turned “Damon” Prison into one of the most prominent sites of humiliation and psychological and physical destruction. Ben-Gvir’s insistence on filming these practices and publishing them reveals a deliberate attempt to normalize scenes of humiliation and torture and turn them into a political achievement. This reflects an unprecedented level of brutality and disregard for human dignity, and confirms that what is taking place inside occupation prisons is part of a broader system of crimes against prisoners and detainees. The occupation prison system has become one of the most prominent arenas of the crime of genocide, which has resulted in the deaths of more than one hundred prisoners and detainees since the beginning of the crime. The identities of 91 of them have been announced, while the occupation authorities continue to withhold the bodies of a number of those who died and conceal the fate of others. We called on the international community and international human rights institutions to assume their responsibilities regarding what male and female prisoners are subjected to, put an end to the state of impunity that enables the occupation to continue its crimes, and hold accountable those responsible for policies of torture and abuse, foremost among them Ben-Gvir, who continues to turn prisoners into material for incitement and political spectacle. These scenes also send a message to the world that he intends to continue his crimes and that, in his view, none of the human values embodied in the international human rights system have any value.

◻️ Martyr Abu Shujaa: “I think my heart will never find solace, and that I will always feel that I have not done enough, even though whenever an opportunity to do something presented itself, I always seized it. But I cannot rid myself of a painful feeling that comes over me whenever I see the sacrifices and losses of others. My arrest, being pursued, losing my home, being separated from my parents, losing my brother Mahmoud, and the loss of so many of my loved ones are negligible losses compared to the pain of a child who has lost their mother, or a father who has lost his child, or a prisoner who will spend decades in his cell, whose children will be deprived of his presence... But I find solace in the certainty that God protected me for a reason, and that I never withdrew; I always chose to fight, and despite all this, I am still among you. I find solace in knowing that our duty, if we emerge alive from this war, is to live up to the responsibility, to give strength to those around us, and to remain faithful to those who sacrificed themselves and fell as martyrs. It is a covenant entrusted to us. I pray to God that I may remain faithful to this covenant.”

Yesterday, August 29, 2026, we commemorated the second anniversary of the martyrdom of resistance fighter Abu Shujaa. On this occasion, we are sharing our post, written shortly after his martyrdom: 📝 After escaping the bullets of the colonial army and the betrayal of the Palestinian Authority, after being enveloped in a veil of love and protection by the camp’s population, with the mothers of martyrs at the forefront, standing proud and dignified as they wrested him from the clutches of the PA security forces, Abu Shujaa fell martyr alongside four other fedayeen from Tulkarem. May Abu Shujaa and his comrades know the sweetest of rests; may their memory inspire the living and future generations along the long road to Liberation. Abu Shujaa joins the long caravan of martyrs, who now watch over the land of Palestine. From Guevara Gaza to Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, from Adam Ayyad to Tariq Ziad Dawoud, from Hadeel Awad to Omar Manaa, from Shadia Abu Ghazaleh to Dalal Saeed Moghrabi, from Ghassan Kanafani to Yahya Ayyash, from Aysar Safi to Walid Daqqa, from Khader Adnan to the magnificent, proud, dignified, and steadfast people of Gaza... Glory to the martyrs. Glory to the Palestinian Resistance.

🇵🇸 Today, August 30th, is the first anniversary of the martyrdom of the nation's and Izz El-Din Al Qassam Brigades spokesman, the martyr commander, Hudhaiafa Al-Kahlout, "Abu Obeida". Glory to the martyr Abu Obeida, the voice of the people and the nation, and to all the martyrs of Palestine, may their memory be a compass and an inspiration to continue the struggle until total liberation, from the river to the sea, the return of the refugees and the liberation of all our prisoners.

Freedom for the Jordanian prisoners incarcerated in Zionist colonial prisons! For more than a quarter of a century, the issue of Jordanian prisoners and Jordanian nationals held in Zionist prisons has remained a blind spot. According to the latest statistics, 17 Jordanian prisoners are currently being held in the occupation’s prisons: - 4 have been sentenced to life imprisonment. - 8 are serving sentences ranging from 3 to 36 years in prison. - 5 prisoners remain in pre-trial detention. At the same time, other activists supporting the Palestinian cause are being held in the prisons of the kingdom, which has harshly repressed mobilizations and initiatives in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance over the past three years, even though a large majority of the kingdom’s inhabitants are Palestinians who became refugees as a result of the successive attacks and expansion of the Zionist colonial entity. Alongside these Jordanian prisoners and their Palestinian brothers, Syrian prisoners and around 36 Lebanese prisoners are also being held in the occupation’s prisons.

The Jordanian prisoner Anas Hassan Sharman, 35, has been held in Israeli prisons since March 15, 2024, without having been sentenced. His family reported that his health has deteriorated due to his type 1 diabetes and irregular access to medication, as well as scabies, severe tooth pain, and a weight loss of approximately 25 kilograms.

Following their deadly operation, the occupation forces arrested the mother of martyr Qais al-Bitawi during a raid on a displaced persons’ camp near the American University, south of Jenin. (Video 1) The father of martyr Moumin Jaradat, who was killed alongside Qais, Dr. Mohammed Jaradat, was released shortly after his son’s martyrdom. He had been arrested 10 days earlier. (Photo 2)

🚨 Committee of Families of Political Detainees: — The Committee of Families of Political Detainees demands the immediate release of political detainee Motaz Al-Bitawi, brother of the pursued martyr Qais Al-Bitawi, who was martyred yesterday in an assassination operation carried out by the "israeli" army in Jenin. The committee affirms that political detainee Motaz Al-Bitawi has been detained by the Security Committee in Junaid Prison since 07/02/2024. The committee condemns in the strongest terms the Authority's security services' continued detention of him and their obstinacy in refusing to release him, despite the issuance of an official and judicial decision for his release on 09/02/2025. The committee affirms that Motaz's arrest originally came within the context of pressure from the Authority's services to push his pursued brother, the martyr Qais, to surrender himself or reveal any information about him, coinciding with the ascension of the heroic martyr Qais Al-Bitawi in a cowardly assassination operation carried out by the "israeli" army in Jenin yesterday.

🇵🇸 Tribute to the Martyrs of Jenin: Qais al-Bitawi (22), Basel al-Turkman (26), and Moumin Jaradat (22) Yesterday, three Palestinian resistance fighters were assassinated in a drone strike carried out by the occupation forces in the Harosh al-Saada forest, Jenin. Qais al-Bitawi, 22, was being pursued by the Zionist army and the security services of the collaborating Palestinian Authority. Several members of his family, including his father, his uncle, and his sister, Hala al-Bitawi, had been arrested the previous week in order to put pressure on him and force him to surrender. One of his brothers is currently being held in Zionist prisons, while another, Motaz al-Bitawi, has been detained in al-Junaid prison by the PA security services since February 7, 2024, despite a release order issued on February 9, 2025. Qais himself had escaped several assassination and arrest attempts during the course of the manhunt against him. The occupation forces had also demolished and burned his brother’s home, the family home, and his mother’s sewing workshop, as well as repeatedly raiding the residence to which his mother, sister, and his brother’s wife had subsequently been displaced. Sources indicate that the security services of the Palestinian Authority pressured residents and relatives of the martyr in order to obtain information about him before passing it on to the Zionist security services, and that they may have been involved in the occupation forces’ operation. Like other martyrs before him, notably Ibrahim al-Nabulsi and his comrades, Qais al-Bitawi was recognized as a member of their brigades by several factions: the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement. This embodied the determination of a new generation to fight the occupation without being affiliated with a single faction, drawing on multiple avenues of resistance in a West Bank suffocated by the massive presence of brigades and units of the Zionist genocidal army, supplemented by settler militias. These multiple affiliations illustrate a dynamic initiated by the generation of Jamil al-Amouri, for whom the unity of the resistance fronts and forces is an essential principle that enabled the resistance to reconstitute itself in the West Bank beginning in 2021. In their statement, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades highlighted Qais al-Bitawi’s participation in several of their operations in the Jenin Governorate, including one carried out using an explosive device that reportedly wounded several soldiers and officers of the Zionist genocidal army, one of them critically. Glory to the martyrs, may their memory accompany the living along the long road to Liberation. Tribute to the young men and women who courageously fight the occupation, from the ruins and camps of Gaza to the villages of the West Bank and southern Lebanon. “I fight the occupation so that I can finally see the sea.” — Qais al-Bitawi

⬆️⬆️⬆️ The U.S. terrorist decision against the Alternative Path Movement is the true expression of the predicament facing the enemy camp in the face of the growing awareness among the peoples of the world and international solidarity movements regarding the nature of imperialism and the Zionist entity as systems of genocide, colonialism, settler colonialism, and organized plunder. Their threat does not target only the Palestinian people and the peoples of the region; it extends to humanity as a whole. The rise of fascist forces in the states at the core of the capitalist system is the clearest evidence of this. The response to this decision must be to escalate the struggle of revolutionary forces, activate the international solidarity movement, and unite the energies of our Palestinian people inside Palestine and throughout the diaspora, organizing them within effective structures. This requires Palestinian and Arab national and left-wing forces that resist and reject concession and surrender to assume their historic responsibilities in the struggle for consciousness and will, to mobilize the popular masses, and to strengthen communication and coordination with international forces. The confrontation waged by our peoples is not confined to any particular geography. If the imperialist, Zionist, and fascist enemy forces are united in the camp of the enemies of revolution, then it is all the more incumbent upon the forces of revolution, resistance, and liberation to close ranks and unite in the camp of confrontation, from Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, and Cuba to the fields of revolution in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and onward to the streets, squares, capitals, cities, and universities of Europe, North America, and Canada. Economic and financial sanctions will not intimidate working people and revolutionaries who possess nothing but their will, determination, and the trust of their peoples, nor will they intimidate those struggling to rid humanity of the evils of capitalism. We, in the Popular Democratic Party in Lebanon, reaffirm our support for our comrades of Masar Badil in confronting these sanctions, and reject every attempt to isolate or marginalize it or to sever its ties with international solidarity movements. We also express our solidarity with Palestine Action and with all those subjected to repression, restrictions, and siege because of their political activity in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people, who are determined to liberate their occupied land from the river to the sea. We also call upon forces opposed to colonialism, racism, and fascism to regard these measures as a new warning regarding the direction in which political and civil liberties are heading in the colonial West, where the instruments of repression are being expanded to target popular and trade-union movements, left-wing movements, and international solidarity movements. Solidarity with Palestine is a duty, not a crime. Political organizing is a right, not a crime. Fighting colonialism is a priority, not a crime. And sanctions will not abolish the right of peoples to struggle for their freedom. Foreign Relations Committee Popular Democratic Party in Lebanon 28 August 2026

🚩 Statement by the Exterior Relations Committee of the Popular Democratic Party in Lebanon Criminalizing Fascist Genocide and Legitimizing Revolutionary Struggle The Exterior Relations Committee of the Popular Democratic Party in Lebanon condemns the imperialist terrorism embodied in the decision issued by the U.S. Treasury against both Masar Badi and Palestine Action, and the escalation this decision represents in imperialist and Zionist aggressive policies against forces resisting occupation and domination, as well as against international political, social, and popular movements and organizations that stand in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people and the peoples of the region fighting for their national and social liberation. History teaches us that the national struggle of oppressed peoples against occupation, colonialism, and domination has never waited for the approval of the occupier or colonizer, nor for a decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve or by the central banks of the savage capitalist system. Rather, it is an expression of the will of peoples and their revolutionary forces yearning for freedom. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🇵🇸 Naji al-Ali through his drawings (1/2) Today we commemorate the martyrdom of the palestinian revolutionary and cartoonist Naji al-Ali. On this occasion, we are sharing this two-part selection of drawings in celebration of the work of Handala’s father.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ 🇵🇸 Tribute to the martyr Naji al Ali (2/2) As he would explain to Radwa Ashour in an interview in 1985: “Handala was a kind of icon that protected my soul from falling, whenever I felt lethargic or forgot my duty. This child was like a splash of fresh water on my forehead, sharpening my focus and keeping me from error and from losing my way. He was the needle of my compass, pointing firmly toward Palestine. Not only Palestine in the geographical sense, but also Palestine as a symbol of a just cause, whether in Egypt, Vietnam, or South Africa.” Throughout his life, his work was dedicated to and intended for the Palestinian masses. As the revolutionary himself recalled: “I come from Ain Al-Hilweh, a camp like any other camp. The people in the camps were people of the land in Palestine. They were not merchants or landowners. They were farmers. When they lost their land, they lost their lives. The bourgeoisie never had to live in the camps, where the inhabitants were subjected to hunger, degradation, and oppression. Entire families died in our camps. It is these Palestinians who remain in my mind, even when my work takes me far from the camp.”
