Depending on God, and believing in our historical right to our land, homeland, and Quds, we face with our flesh and the bare chest of our sons, the terror of the official occupation and its military machinery. So as to offer our inordinate sacrifices, lining up in the first line of defense for our Arab, Islamic, and humanitarian depth, with its values, interests, and legitimacy.
Based on the national factions' secretaries-general meeting, on the third of September, we announce the launch of a comprehensive popular struggle process, that begins, and will not end until the achievement of the national independence of the State of Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital.
Its chapters and episode to be inspired by the uprisings of our people from the 1920s until today.
We invite our great Palestinian people, our Arab peoples, and the free people of the world to line up today with Palestine, the forefront of the uprising with its swords pointed at our central enemy perched on the ground of our country and our Quds, to revive the Arab front, that supports our legitimate struggle against the occupation, the deal of the century, and Arab normalization, so as to bury the agreements of shame and betrayal, signed by the rulers of the UAE and Bahrain, for them to face the fate of those who betrayed and colluded in the 1940s, and so as to close the door of the collapse of these regimes, and those who support them in front of the occupying power.
Based on our unity, which we regain and consecrate with resistance and sacrifices, we pledge to you that we will not once again allow anyone to tamper with the unity of our people, transgress our principles, and smash what we have agreed upon.
Determined and committed to the following determinants of our popular struggle action at home and in the diaspora:

Our resistance proceeds at a harmonious pace, and develops dynamically in all the occupied Palestinian territories and beginning from Jerusalem, according to circumstances and field data, with social, political, and geographical inclusion, under one slogan: Bringing down the deal of the century, ending the occupation, uprooting settlement, the realization of national independence, the guarantee of the right of return.
-
Adhering to positive actions and the mechanisms to defend the life and dignity of citizens, their holy sites, and properties in the face of settler terror, which happens under the protection of the occupying army. Taking field steps for popular resistance, restoring consideration for the mass struggle and popular struggle, and being inspired by the mechanisms of reciprocating the Israeli attacks on the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth on the land of the State of Palestine, with its Jerusalem as a priority, up to a comprehensive national civil disobedience.
-
The Palestinian flag is the only umbrella under which all activities and events are enacted, both in the homeland and in exile.
Therefore, we invite you to the following:
-
Considering September 15th a day of popular dissenting uprising in which the Palestinian flag is to be waved all over our cities, villages, and camps in the homeland, and in all the locations of our diaspora communities, as an expression of our decisive rejection of raising the flag of occupation, killing and racism on the humiliating flagpole in Abu Dhabi and Manama. We call on the conscious political forces, civil, public, student, and feminist institutions all around our beloved Arab homeland, to raise the Arab flag of pride, the Palestinian flag, in condemnation of the shameful agreement, on that black day.
-
We call on our freed prisoners, the families of our heroic martyrs, and the families of martyrs whom bodies are detained in the occupation's cemeteries of numbers, to organize stands denouncing the disgraceful agreement on the day of 9/15/2020 in all governorates in the homeland.
-
We call on the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic communities, the world's free minds and its democratic forces, to demonstrate in front of the embassies of the United States, the occupying power, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain, on Tuesday, 9/15/2020, denouncing the agreements of shame.
-
We invite the masses of our nation and our people, especially in the heroic camps of return, home and abroad, to commemorate the martyrs of Sabra and Shatila on Thursday 9/17/2020, those who perished with the machetes of the occupation, whose banner Abu Dhabi and Manama raise on their foreheads.
-
Considering Friday 9/18/2020 as a day of mourning where the black flags are waved denouncing the USA-Israel-UAE-Bahrain agreement in all the squares, buildings, and homes, with churches ringing bells of mourning and Friday sermons lamenting regimes of apostasy and betrayal of the central Arab and Muslim cause. This is accompanied by events that include all contact points on the territories of the northern governorates.
-
We salute the initiative of the coalition of Palestinian and Arab institutions and American democratic forces to organize protest events in the American capital, Washington, on the day of signing the normalization agreement between the government of Abu Dhabi and Manama with the Israeli right-wing government sponsored the American racist administration in the White House, hoping that these events will spread all over the USA.
Our people, we call on you to reject all disputes, freeze all agendas, circumvent and participate in this popular liberation struggle, as no voice rises above the voice of resistance, and for our Palestinian flag to remain vibrant, our compass firm, our faith in God and the justice of our cause are rooted.
We pledge that we will not return the sword to its sheath unless we establish our independent state with full sovereignty and occupied Jerusalem as its capital and solve the refugee problem in accordance with international laws by returning them to their land.
Glory and mercy to our martyrs, honor to our prisoners, and healing for our wounded.
It is a revolution and resistance until victory, until victory!
