Solidarity with Palestine on Land Day

On Palestinian Land Day, we honor the resilience of the Palestinian people, who since 30 March 1976 have faced brutal land confiscations, violent dispossession, and systemic oppression. Today, as Israel continues to seize Palestinian land—even amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza and escalating colonial violence in the West Bank—we reaffirm: Palestinian human rights are non-negotiable. The right to return, to self-determination, and to a free, sovereign state must be recognized unconditionally as stated in the UN resolutions.

We condemn the relentless expansion of illegal settlements, the terror inflicted by armed settlers, and the military occupation that suffocates Palestinian lives. From the Nakba to today’s apartheid government, Land Day reminds us: liberation is rooted in the land and justice demands an end to colonial project.

The European Left calls for a just solution to the conflict, to be initiated by a total withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories in keeping with UN resolutions. We call on all governments to recognize the State of Palestine, to suspend the EU Association Agreement until the end of the systematic violations of the human rights of the Palestinian population and to uphold international law.

We stand in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people for the recognition of its national rights. Decolonize Palestine now!
