The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has warned that the occupied West Bank is on the verge of a third intifada (uprising), as rising Israeli violence has fueled Palestinians' anger.
In a statement on Friday, the PFLP stressed that the outbreak of a comprehensive third Intifada is closer than ever.
Referring to the killing of Amr al-Marbo, 18, and Sami Mashayikh, 16, during an Israeli raid on the town of Kafr Aqab, north of the occupied al-Quds, in the early hours of Friday, the statement said these repeated attacks constitute "the flame that will burn away the remaining illusions of calm," adding that the accumulated Palestinian anger "will erupt like lava" in the face of the occupying Israeli regime
The organization said that the escalating settler violence, acts of vandalism and targeting of Palestinian civilians across the occupied West Bank reveal "an ingrained fascist and racist doctrine and a sick psychological structure of settler gangs that practice violence as a daily act."
The PFLP stressed that "the Palestinians will not stand idly by" in the face of "criminal sadism", adding that the escalating crimes will fuel a broad resistance movement that could turn the West Bank into a battleground for a war of attrition against Israeli forces and settlers.
The statement warned that "this fascist entity" poses a threat to the region and humanity as a whole.
Urging the international community to boycott Israel and isolate its leaders, the organization said "the stability of the region will only be achieved by uprooting the [Israeli] occupation."
The Israeli regime has escalated its West Bank violence since October 7, 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza. Since then, Israeli forces and settlers have killed hundreds of Palestinians in the occupied territory.
More than 700,000 settlers live in over 230 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds.
The international community views the settlements as illegal under international law and the Geneva Conventions due to their construction on occupied territories.
The UN Security Council has condemned Israel's settlement activities in several resolutions.
Last year, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared Israel's decades-long occupation of historical Palestine illegal.
The ICJ demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East al-Quds. It was mere words.
