Global Jews for Palestine media statement 22/11/2025
The UN Security Council’s approval of a revamped Trump plan for Gaza has sparked sharp condemnation from Palestinian resistance groups, who say it sidesteps international law, imposes external control on Gaza, and aims to rescue Israel’s failing colonization while disarming the resistance. A global coalition of 25 anti-Zionist Jewish organizations echoes this rejection, calling the resolution a political lifeline to Netanyahu’s regime and a betrayal of Palestinian self-determination.
UN Security Council votes Trump´s plan against the Palestinians. It´s an attempt to rescue Israel’s colonization of Gaza and to disarm the resistance
On 17 November 2025 the United Nations Security Council approved a US resolution on Gaza. Palestinian resistance groups quickly issued a joint rejection of this version of the ‘Trump Peace Plan.’ They said: “The resolution bypasses international frameworks and paves the way for creating arrangements outside the Palestinian national will. Any international force intended to be deployed in Gaza in the proposed form will turn into a form of guardianship or imposed mandate, undermining the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.” As a global coalition of 25 anti-Zionist Jewish groups, we fully support the Palestinian claim and struggle for self-determination and the right of return. We also reject Trump´s plan, now endorsed by the UNSC.
This sordid role should be no surprise. As the Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq had warned beforehand, the impending vote would demonstrate “the Security Council’s manifest abdication of its responsibility, and the further undermining and rejection of Palestinian self-determination.”
The ‘Peace Plan’ continues the US-Israel agenda to remove Palestine from any international legal framework in order to re-inforce Israel’s colonization. Now that Israel’s army has greater difficulty in maintaining its colonial control on the ground, the UNSC resolution rescues Netanyahu´s colonial regime and aims at disarming the anti-colonial resistance. The Palestinians have had no say whatsoever in this .
Among Palestinians, only the Palestinian National Authority, desperate to retain its privileges through its collaboration with Israel, welcomed this travesty. All UNSC members voted for the resolution, except for shameful abstentions by China and Russia,rather than using their veto power. This UNSC resolution is a total betrayal of international law, human rights and the Palestinian struggle.
What does this mean for the UN’s role? Its Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, has admirably gone further than her predecessors, especially by documenting the complicity of major countries and companies in her October 2025 report, Gaza Genocide: a Collective Crime.
The ICJ and ICC have diligently carried out their tasks, documenting Israel’s genocide and its leaders’ criminal responsibility. However, the UNSC continues the complicit legacy of the 1947 resolution partitioning Palestine. After the 1936-39 joint UK-Zionist counterinsurgency war severely weakened Palestinians’ defence against Zionist colonization, the Partition plan opened the way for further attacks and expulsions.
These developments further vindicate the call in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian civil society organisations for a comprehensive BDS campaign against international complicity with Israeli colonisation, firstly in our own countries. We are inspired by the action of dockers who have blocked arms shipments to Israel during the past two years. More recently, Italy’s mass strikes and demonstrations have opposed its complicity with Israel. Palestine’s most reliable supporters are the people of the world who fight their own oppression for a common future of social justice. Palestine’s resistance remains a symbol of that global struggle.
Global Jews for Palestine will participate in all demonstrations around the world on 29 November, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. It is not the time to abandon the streets.
