The first article of the United Nations Charter, adopted at the founding of the organization in 1945, states "the principle of equality in rights among peoples and that each has the right to self-determination." Article two of the Charter prohibits "the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state."
One of the characteristics of our current time, the peak of the devaluation of international law and the undermining of its principles, is that the recent decision of the United Nations Security Council regarding the Gaza Strip, adopted on the evening of the seventeenth of this month and numbered 2803, constitutes a blatant violation of the aforementioned principles.
The decision begins by welcoming what is called the "comprehensive plan" for Gaza, namely the twenty-point plan announced by Donald Trump at the White House in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu on September 29 of last year, which is attached to the text, and the decision even "commends" the countries that signed, accepted, or supported it.
It also welcomes what is called "Trump's historic declaration for lasting peace and prosperity," that empty document signed in Sharm El Sheikh on October 13 in the presence of the American president, after he delivered a speech before the Knesset praising the Zionist state and its prime minister, in two events we named "the Flattery Festival in the Knesset and Sharm El Sheikh."
After this unprecedented introduction in an international decision praising the leader of a great power in line with the prevailing flattery towards him in contemporary international relations, the decision welcomes the establishment of what is called the "Peace Council" as a "transitional administration" for the Gaza Strip "until the Palestinian Authority satisfactorily completes its reform program as stated in various proposals, including President Trump's 2020 peace plan," which was rejected by all Palestinian parties, including the Ramallah Authority, and rejected by the Arab League.
This means that the end of international guardianship over the strip and its handover to the Palestinian Authority is contingent upon changing the authority in accordance with a "peace plan" that has only been welcomed by the occupying state.
Then, "after the Palestinian Authority's reform program is faithfully implemented and the reconstruction of Gaza progresses, conditions may finally be available to crystallize a reliable path towards self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state," which is a quote from the twenty-point plan, which we have previously stated "acknowledges that it does not currently rest on the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, but makes respect for this right merely a possibility (may)."
The decision then "authorizes" the "member states working with the Peace Council and the Council itself to establish a temporary International Stability Force (ISF) in Gaza to be deployed under a unified command acceptable to the Peace Council, contributed by forces from participating countries, in close consultation and cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel."
This means that the international force must be acceptable to the council that will be chaired by Donald Trump and will include former British Prime Minister Tony Blair among its members, in consultation with the occupying state that violates international law and commits genocide.
The decision continues: "The force works with Israel and Egypt... and with a newly trained and vetted Palestinian police force, to help secure border areas; and stabilize the security environment in Gaza by ensuring the disarmament of the strip, including the destruction of military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructures and preventing their reconstruction, as well as the permanent removal of weapons from service by non-state armed groups."
This means that the international force acceptable to Israel and working in cooperation with it will carry out disarmament in the strip and destroy tunnels as "military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructures," which is the very language of the Zionist state that has long labeled the right to resistance as terrorism.
The decision adds: "As the force tightens its control and establishes stability, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw from the Gaza Strip according to criteria and timelines related to the disarmament process, agreed upon between the IDF, the stability force, the guarantors, and the United States, except for the existence of a security perimeter that will remain until Gaza is sufficiently secured from any renewed terrorist threat."
This means that the occupying forces will not withdraw from the strip unless they are satisfied with the disarmament of the Palestinians outside their control and that of the international force, which they see as "terrorist" weapons.
They will also not withdraw except "according to criteria and timelines" agreed upon by the occupying state itself with the United States, the two countries that collaborated in committing genocide in the Gaza Strip and nearly completely destroying it.
