Statement on Israel's Siege on Gaza

The Public Affairs Research Institute (PARI) calls for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the return of hostages, and the provision of humanitarian aid. The organization condemns both the Hamas attacks of 7 October and Israel's 'disproportionate retaliation', which it argues hinders a viable solution to the conflict. PARI further condemns the denial of essential resources to Palestinians and expresses solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against 'apartheid conditions'.

• PARI calls for an immediate end to the bombardment of Gaza, specifically requesting a permanent ceasefire, the return of all hostages, safe passage for displaced people to return home, and the continuation of humanitarian aid.
• The organization condemns the denial of basic necessities—including food, water, power, fuel, and medicine—to the Palestinian people, as well as the destruction of public infrastructure and hospitals and the killing of aid workers.
• While condemning the 7 October attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians, PARI asserts that Israel's retaliation in the Gaza Strip is disproportionate and obstructs the liberation of the Palestinian people and a viable solution to the conflict.
