Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
It is with deep concern and profound outrage that we, at the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations (IIFSO), witness the ongoing escalation of violence, systemic oppression, and humanitarian violations being perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people — most recently manifesting in intensified attacks on Gaza, continued settlement expansion, desecration of holy sites, and the brutal targeting of civilians, including women and children.
The situation in Palestine is not merely a political conflict; it is a moral crisis and a humanitarian catastrophe. As student leaders and advocates of justice, we cannot remain silent while our brothers and sisters in Palestine face forced displacement, apartheid policies, collective punishment, and flagrant violations of international law.
We call upon all IIFSO member states and affiliated student organizations to:
1. Organize mass demonstrations, rallies, and vigils in universities, city centers, and digital spaces to express solidarity with Palestine and to raise global awareness.
2. Collaborate with civil society groups, human rights organizations, and academic institutions to educate the public and advocate for an immediate end to the aggression.
3. Pressure local governments, media, and international institutions to condemn Israeli war crimes and to take tangible action to hold the occupation accountable.
4. Amplify the voices of Palestinian students and youth, providing platforms for their stories and resistance.
We must remind the world that justice delayed is justice denied. Our unity, activism, and steadfast commitment to truth and liberation are vital in this critical moment. Palestine is not alone — and it never will be.
May Allah grant us the strength to stand firm, the wisdom to act justly, and the resolve to continue this sacred struggle for freedom.
