The party said that Abu Anwar spent his life in social and political activities and is considered one of the intellectuals and prominent political leaders. He was known as the role model for the Palestinian progressive movement.

Abu Anwar joined the Communist Party in 1953 and was its first secretary-general.

The Palestinian People Party expressed its condolences to the family of Riziq and to the Palestinian national movement.

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and several Palestinian factions issued press releases expressing sorrow over the death of Abu Anwar, and called for unity among all Palestinians.
