The United states pushes unsc resolution: the american occupation of gaza
On Monday, the UN Security Council will vote on a US draft resolution that will effectively authorize total US control over Gaza, including governance in the Strip and its political future. The draft includes a “Board of Peace,” stemming from Trump’s 20-point plan, that would have the US and UK take control of Gaza until at least 2027, overseeing an International Stabilization Force (ISF) that would be deployed to “govern” the people of Gaza.
This “board” would also have sole decision-making power on the IOF’s timetable for withdrawal from Gaza, thereby conditioning any lasting “peace” on Gaza’s total surrender of its sovereignty.
The UNSC resolution sets an extremely dangerous precedent. The US attempt to ram the proposal through the Security Council is a thinly veiled attempt to liquidate the Palestinian struggle. Following a “ceasefire” agreement that Israel has already violated hundreds of times, it is a quiet maneuver that the US and imperialist powers are hoping will go unnoticed.
But our movement cannot let this moment pass quietly: a “Board of Peace” run by the likes of Donald Trump and Tony Blair would pose an existential threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Gaza, which its people have fought and sacrificed so immensely to preserve.
Currently, the US has secured support for the draft resolution from Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan and Turkey. Veto power in the Security Council is held by Russia and China, who have expressed opposition to some of the draft resolution’s contents. After Russia made a counter-proposal that removed mention of the Board of Peace and added mention of Palestinian statehood, US official Mike Waltz went so far as to threaten a “real human cost” if countries deviate from their proposed plan, presenting world powers with an ultimatum between further US entrenchment in Palestine or the continuation of the genocide.
This draft resolution hopes to cement international legitimacy for US (and therefore Zionist) control of Gaza, following two years of US-Zionist genocide and increased isolation of Israel on the world stage. Accompanying the resolution are reported US government plans to build a $500 million base at the border of Gaza, requiring thousands of soldiers to maintain and helping to further entrench their physical presence in Gaza, and by extension, US control over Gaza’s political present and future.
We reject this attempt to rehabilitate and further entrench the Zionist project in Palestine and across the Arab World. We call upon people of conscience everywhere to continue the struggle against this resolution and all that it represents. The Palestinian people of Gaza have sacrificed everything to safeguard their right to remain on their land and determine their own destiny and future. We must not be lulled into a false sense of complacency. The struggle continues for an arms embargo, sanctions, and the full right of return and self-determination, from the river to the sea.
US-ISRAEL OUT OF PALESTINE!
