Bulletin N°61 2025 The Trump plan adopted at the UN
A plan that violates the rights of the Palestinian people
The UN Security Council adopted a US resolution Monday evening in New York endorsing in its entirety the "Trump Plan" for Gaza, which blatantly violates the rights of the Palestinian people. Among the resolution's appalling provisions is the continued Israeli occupation of more than half of the Gaza Strip.
This excerpt from Article 7 of the resolution states all of this in the clearest possible terms: “ Once the Force has taken control of the situation and stabilized it, the Israel Defense Forces will withdraw from the Gaza Strip according to the modalities, stages and timetable that have been determined based on demilitarization and agreed upon with the Force, the guarantors and the United States, with the exception of a security perimeter which will remain in place until Gaza is adequately protected against any return of the terrorist threat. ”
As usual, the Palestinians are abandoned by the Arab states.
The resolution was adopted by 13 of the 15 members of the Security Council, including Arab and/or Muslim states such as Algeria and Pakistan. China and Russia, permanent members of the Council, did not exercise their veto power and abstained.
To secure the support of Arab countries, Trump agreed to include a reference to a Palestinian state in the adopted plan. Le Monde , not known for its pro-Palestinian stance, commented: " The reference to a future Palestinian state remains vague, distant, and symbolic. "
To make us believe in a significant concession from Trump, our media are highlighting the protests of the Zionist entity. Thus, the fascist Ben Gvir addressed Netanyahu, telling him, before the Security Council vote: “ If they accelerate the recognition of this fabricated state, if the UN recognizes it, you […] must order targeted assassinations of senior Palestinian Authority officials, who are terrorists in every respect [and] order the arrest of Abu Mazen [1] .” Netanyahu responded by reiterating his “ opposition to a Palestinian state on any territory whatsoever .”
Algeria, aligned with the Palestinian Authority, voted for Trump's resolution, for this plan of domination over a sovereign people. This is nothing new. Most Arab and Muslim countries had already voted for the Franco-Saudi resolution, the so-called recognition of a Palestinian state, reduced to a disarmed bantustan. Only Iran, like Honduras, refused to vote.
The "multipolar world" lets the resolution pass
The resolution legitimizes Trump's peace council, while Russia, in a counter-proposal, had suggested that the international force be under the control of the Security Council. This makes it all the more surprising that Russia did not veto it. The resolution also reiterates the disarmament of the Resistance and makes no provision for a Palestinian government, not even a nominal one.
Thus, China and Russia appear for what they are: abdicating their responsibilities regarding Palestine and the self-determination of the Palestinian people. They have allowed a plan for further domination and subjugation of this martyred people to pass through, in the interest of the occupying power, the Zionist colonial state. If Donald Trump's colonial plan is implemented, it will be a blow to the Palestinian resistance.
The situation is clear. Western imperialists, supported by most Arab and Muslim states and the tacit approval of rival imperialists, want to implement a plan to maintain colonization, support the genocidal Zionist entity, and repress its resistance, leaving other states to assume this role. Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Egypt are willing to provide troops for this force; Turkey, also willing, is being refused by the Zionists.
But the Resistance is determined to continue its fight. No resolution will prevent the only just solution from coming about: the self-determination of the Palestinians over all of their land.
The Resistance does not accept submission
One of the first reactions to this unfair vote came from Hamas. The Resistance movement stated, in particular:
" This resolution does not address the political and humanitarian demands and rights of the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, which has suffered for two years a brutal genocidal war and unprecedented crimes committed by the terrorist occupation in full view of the world – the effects and repercussions of which persist despite the declaration of an end to the war in accordance with President Trump's plan.
The resolution imposes an international trusteeship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject. It also imposes a mechanism aimed at achieving the objectives of the occupation, objectives that it has failed to achieve through its brutal genocide. Furthermore, this resolution detaches the Gaza Strip from the rest of Palestinian territory and attempts to impose a new reality, breaking with the legitimate national principles and rights of our people, thus depriving them of their right to self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Resisting occupation by all means is a legitimate right guaranteed by international law and international conventions. The weapons of resistance are inseparable from the occupation, and any discussion relating to armaments must remain an internal national matter, linked to a political process guaranteeing the end of the occupation, the creation of the State [of Palestine], and self-determination.
Assigning missions and roles to the international force inside the Gaza Strip, particularly the disarmament of the resistance, amounts to stripping it of its neutrality and transforming it into a party to the conflict, to the benefit of the occupation. Any international force, if deployed, must be solely at the borders to separate forces, monitor the ceasefire, and operate under the full supervision of the UN. It must act exclusively in coordination with official Palestinian institutions, without any role for the occupation, and ensure the delivery of aid, without becoming a security authority persecuting our people and their resistance .
Interviewed before this vote, Abdullah Al-Danan, in charge of political relations for the PFLP (Popular Front for National Liberation), one of the Marxist organizations, confirms the positions and mindset of the Palestinian Resistance as a whole.
Here are some large excerpts from this interview:
“ The situation in Gaza is, of course, catastrophic. There are more than 70,000 martyrs, more than 10,000 missing, and more than 100,000 wounded, many of whom have lost limbs. As for respecting the ceasefire, we do not trust this Zionist entity. We have no confidence in its promises, nor in those who guaranteed this agreement. The Zionist entity has already violated the agreement. […]
But other factors prevent this entity from continuing the war in Gaza as before. Israel has not achieved any of the objectives it set for itself at the beginning of its aggression. Not a single one. As Netanyahu himself admitted in the Knesset, he paid a heavy price in Gaza for trying to free the Zionist prisoners. […]
We paid this exorbitant price with the lives and souls of our Palestinian people.
No, we will not leave Gaza and we will not accept any other authority to govern it. We reject any new mandate, even under the pretext of international or humanitarian interests, because such arrangements only perpetuate colonialism against our people. The Palestinian people are bound to their land and rooted there, whatever the cost. Tomorrow in Gaza will be a Palestinian day. […]
As long as Palestinian lands remain occupied, the question of peace will be far from resolved. How can there be peace when a people lives under oppression and the Zionist entity continues to torture, kill, and imprison?
For 77 years, the Palestinian cause has been influenced by developments in neighboring countries, without, however, having a decisive impact. We had hoped that these countries would rise up and fight alongside us, as the Yemeni people did. The Lebanese resistance attempted to do so; it sacrificed its martyrs and risked the destruction of its villages to support Gaza.
Whatever the situation in the surrounding states, the Palestinian people will not relinquish their rights. […]
But we possess something stronger than these weapons, stronger even than the support of the United States: the right and the will to resist. That is why we affirm that peace will only come when the Palestinian people can live in peace. Peace begins in Palestine. […]
The battle for Gaza has strengthened the Palestinian people's resolve to return to their towns and villages in Palestine. Today, more than ever, we remain true to our creed: to liberate all of Palestine, from the river to the sea. The Palestinian cause is now the most important cause in the world, and this gives strength to our people. Public opinion and the conscience of the world are now on the side of Palestine.
One of the pillars of this entity was its Zionist narrative: presenting itself as a victim, having arrived in Palestine as a refugee fleeing persecution. This victim status has disappeared. Today, it is the Palestinian people who are the victims. […]
There will be no peace until the Palestinian people return to their homeland. Our vision of peace is that every Palestinian returns home and that the Palestinian people regain the rights that were denied them in 1948 through acts of violence. […]
Resistance lives in the hearts of the Palestinian people. I will conclude with the words of our legendary comrade, the writer Ghassan Kanafani: "It's Palestine or fire, generation after generation. "
On the side of the Zionist colonial entity
Restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid
More than a month after the start of the ceasefire on October 10, the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza remains subject to significant restrictions. Not only does the volume delivered remain insufficient, according to humanitarian organizations, but the entry of many items remains prohibited. For example, tents with metal poles, large autoclaves (surgical instrument sterilizers), spare parts for tanker trucks, plastic tarpaulins for greenhouses, vaccination syringes, and potato tubers are banned from entering the Gaza Strip.
In two years of the offensive against Gaza, these bans have never been officially announced by COGAT, the body responsible for coordinating the Israeli army's civilian activities in the occupied Palestinian territories. However, they have been observed and corroborated by humanitarian actors involved in Gaza and stated by leaders of the colonial state and the occupying army. The claim is that there are dual-use products, meaning they can be used for both civilian and military purposes. This pretext is convenient, especially given that syringes and potatoes are prohibited from entering the country.
In reality, the goal is to make life as difficult as possible for Gazans, in order to encourage them to leave.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that the entry of other goods via aid convoys, such as fresh meat or educational materials, is being prevented by Israeli authorities on the grounds that these products "do not fall within the scope of humanitarian aid." OCHA also notes that the supply of agricultural products remains severely restricted.
Finally, among the goods that do not enter Gaza are those that NGOs with a long history of involvement in the Palestinian territory want to bring, but whose registration has not yet been renewed by the occupying authorities. Since the ceasefire came into effect, this concerns more than half of the hundred or so requests (including requests for the delivery of blankets) rejected by the Zionist colonial state, according to the United Nations.
The new accreditation procedure notably requires the sharing of detailed information on the Palestinian staff of these organizations. This is a way for the perpetrators of genocide to silence the NGOs that have borne witness for two years to the ordeal endured by Gazans.
The case of the deportation to South Africa
A carefully concealed forced displacement scheme by the Zionist entity has just been exposed. The genocidal colonial state has smuggled Palestinians out of Gaza through an organized, opaque, and perfectly structured network: fake offices; a sham “humanitarian organization”; charter flights costing up to $2,700; and, most importantly, not a single exit stamp from the Zionist state for these passengers. This detail speaks volumes: this is not a legal journey, but a clandestine transfer orchestrated by the occupier itself. The plane, filled with Gazans without valid documents, lands in Johannesburg. South African authorities suspend the procedure while they investigate why an entire planeload of Palestinians “without official exit from Israel” has arrived on their soil. Pretoria eventually grants them 90 days.
Meanwhile, the Zionist media machine is trying to spin the story by circulating a simplistic and mendacious narrative: Palestinians were supposedly “rejected” by South Africa, when what is actually being exposed is a Zionist program of ethnic cleansing disguised as “voluntary migration.” A shadowy organization run by an Israeli-Estonian, unregistered anywhere, teetering between the occupying army and a human trafficking network. A Palestinian influencer is being used to encourage departures. An “Office of Voluntary Emigration” within the Israeli Ministry of Defense is recommending this network to the army. Nothing in this operation is improvised. Nothing is humanitarian. Everything is orchestrated to drive an entire people from their land and make them disappear from Gaza, leaving no administrative trace.
This is indeed a case of forced displacement, that is to say deportation, and ethnic cleansing.
What the Security Council vote reveals
The masks are clearly falling. Hamas, through its leader Osama Hamdan, announced that the Resistance had contacted China, Russia, and several other Security Council member states before the vote. Several Resistance organizations sent them memoranda on the situation, urging them to vote against Trump's resolution.
The Algerian Foreign Minister justified his country's vote in favor by stating that their points of reference are the PLO and the Palestinian Authority. Houari Boumediene and others must be turning in their graves. Abbas has no legitimacy to represent the Palestinians; he is a comprador , a lackey of the Zionist colonial state, a collaborator. Algeria had a long tradition of supporting all anti-colonial struggles; it has just turned its back on them.
As for China and Russia and the carte blanche they gave Trump, this sheds light on the so-called multipolar world that some, including within the communist movement, keep harping on about. They are simply imperialist powers rivals of the Western imperialist bloc. And this rivalry only truly manifests itself when the direct interests of these imperialist powers, rivals of the US, are affected, as in Ukraine or Taiwan. Russia has repeatedly vetoed resolutions concerning Ba'athist Syria. This isn't to say that it wasn't right. But we know that the interests of Russian imperialism were at stake; their base in Tartus is enough to understand that. The situation with Palestine is quite different.
As for China, which last year hosted a meeting of 14 Palestinian organizations and, in its rhetoric, is a staunch defender of Palestine, we shed light some time ago on its economic ties with the Zionist entity. This refusal to exercise the veto clearly indicates that nothing can be expected from any imperialist power, even one that is a declared adversary of the US. The era of a socialist bloc supporting anti-colonial struggles is over. And the multipolar world is a vast sham.
In conclusion
More than ever, with the threats posed to Palestine by the adoption of the Trump plan by the UN Security Council, the right path is that of an anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist position, in support of national liberation, which takes into account the reality of the situation: the cause we defend is winning.
The Palestinian people can only rely on themselves, their Resistance, and immense international solidarity. The Zionist colonial state is now an outcast among nations. For the moment, it has failed to end the genocide and defeat the armed Resistance. International solidarity must now continue and grow stronger. Let us be firmly convinced that if imperialism is to retreat in Palestine, it will be yet another advantage in pushing it back in France and everywhere else!
To help achieve the national liberation of Palestine, clear anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, and anti-Zionist actions and rhetoric are more necessary than ever, denouncing the actors and accomplices of the replacement colonization implemented in Palestine . It is impossible to support the struggle for a free Palestine without supporting the armed resistance in all its forms and actions; without demanding the end of the apartheid colonial entity, because its existence prevents genuine peace.
Now more than ever, we need to build a coalition of all those who support the national liberation of Palestine and its armed resistance, to make our militant contribution, in France against our capitalists and their supporters, to "a free Palestine from the river to the sea".
