The National Commission for Palestinian Popular Action has issued a strong condemnation of US proposals to establish an externally imposed transitional administration in Gaza, labeling the move as ‘a new colonialism.’ In a statement released on Sunday, the commission argued that such a plan violates the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and merely repackages old forms of domination under modern terminology. The commission emphasized that decisions regarding Gaza’s future must originate from Palestinians themselves, ensuring the unity of their land, the legitimacy of resistance to Israeli occupation, and the rights to freedom and self-determination as enshrined in international law. A US draft resolution, set to be presented to the UN Security Council on Monday, has drawn sharp criticism from legal experts and Palestinian groups. They argue that the proposal seeks to institutionalize Israel’s actions in Gaza within an international framework. The resolution endorses the Trump Peace Plan, known as the ‘Comprehensive Plan,’ and proposes the creation of two new bodies: the Board of Peace, a civilian transitional administration, and an ‘International Stabilisation Force.’ Critics contend that the Board of Peace would wield extensive powers, including governance oversight, reconstruction, economic recovery, and humanitarian coordination, effectively normalizing foreign control over Gaza. The commission warned that if passed, the resolution would undermine international law and strip Palestinians of their right to self-determination. While acknowledging the potential benefits of a limited international presence to monitor ceasefires and protect civilians, the commission insisted that such a force must not assume administrative or political roles. It called on Palestinian political movements, institutions, and communities worldwide to reject external control and oppose proposals that undermine national decision-making. The statement concluded with a reaffirmation of its commitment to unified action in defense of Palestinian rights and steadfastness until full freedom is achieved. Meanwhile, Israel continues its assault on Gaza, despite a so-called ceasefire, blocking aid convoys, restricting humanitarian access, and conducting daily bombings that result in civilian casualties.
