The World Peace Council condemns strongly and rejects vehemently the statements of US president D.Trump in which he declared to “take over” the Palestinian Gaza strip and displace more than two million of Palestinians to neighbor and other countries. We are not caught by surprise having memory and knowledge of the actions of the same US president during his first term in the White House, when he shut down the PLO office in Washington D.C., when he stopped the financial support to UNRWA and when he declared Jerusalem the “eternal undivided capital of Israel” (moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to there), amongst others. The administration which succeeded him then did not take back any of those measures, on the contrary, we all witnessed the genocidal war and massacres of Israel against the Palestinian people with more than 45.000 killed, recently. Despite the agreed ceasefire for the Gaza strip, the Israeli army is continuously harassing and attacking Palestinian also in the West Bank whereas many hundreds have lost their lives, particularly at the refugee camps of Jenin and Tulcarem.
The “plan” of D. Trump to move away the Palestinians from their land corresponds to the reactionary doctrine for “a people without land and a land without people” which the Zionist occupation regime and its army are applying since many decades. It is cynical and provocative; it constitutes a blatant and gross violation of international law and conventions.
The WPC declares its fullhearted solidarity with the brave Palestinian people for its right to resist occupation and to fight for the liberation of their lands with the establishment of a free, viable and independent State of Palestine within the borders of pre-4th June 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital, with the release of all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails and the right to return for all Palestinian refugees to their homes, according to the UN resolution 194.
The solution of the Palestinian issue is a key-matter to the Peace in the Middle East and the Palestinian people can not and will not be used for the Imperialist and Zionist plans to exploit the raw material of the area and its real estate which is of high value for many multinational enterprises.
