Bulletin of the International People’s Tribunal for Palestine
October 17, 2025
Since the start of the ceasefire between the Palestinian resistance forces and the US-backed Zionist entity of “Israel”, the Zionists have violated the ceasefire agreement on multiple occasions. As much as 40 have been killed at the time of this writing. Only 300 to 400 food trucks have been allowed to enter daily while the deal promised 600, leaving many in Gaza starving while much-needed food sits on the other side of the Rafah Crossing. Zionist forces have remained in some of the zones of Gaza despite agreeing to withdraw during the ceasefire.
!ll Zionist captives have been returned by the resistance to “Israel” in generally good health, with the exception of those killed by the Zionists themselves during the relentless bombardment, many whose bodies are still unable to be found. Meanwhile, Palestinian prisoners have been returned with clear marks of torture, malnourishment and abuse at the hands of Zionist prison guards, with bodies being returned with marks of torture and summary executions.
All this comes as voices in the Zionist government call for continuing the genocidal war and Trump threatens the Palestinian resistance with “destruction” if they do not turn over their arms. Yet, the resistance stands firmly by their right to resist the occupation and defend their people’s lives and aspirations for self-determination. This was made clear in their acknowledgement that they would discuss disarmament only with a Palestinian-led unity government without foreign intervention, and this assertion was made even as the agreement was signed by all parties. Despite backtracking by the US and Zionists, the Palestinian resistance has not violated a single one of their promises from the ceasefire.
In the midst of these negotiations, Gaza continues to lay in ruins, with an environment made unlivable by the Zionists who wish nothing more than to see the people of Gaza dead or displaced completely. While the people remain steadfast, the ecocide persists and will last for a long time without immediate action from the world’s people to hold the US-Zionist occupation accountable.
