Statement & Appeal

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
“ICSPR calls on the free people of the world to turn this day into a global uprising against the Israeli occupation”

The International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights (ICSPR) affirms that the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People comes this year amid the worst humanitarian catastrophe experienced by the Palestinian people since the Nakba, as a result of the genocidal war waged by Israeli occupation forces against the Gaza Strip. This war has been accompanied by policies of ethnic cleansing, wide-scale destruction of homes, camps, infrastructure, and civilian facilities, in addition to arbitrary arrests, systematic torture, expanding settlement activities, and terror attacks carried out by settlers in the West Bank and Jerusalem. ICSPR believes that the international silence surrounding these crimes places the principles of human solidarity, justice, and fairness under deep doubt, making 29 November a day that must be transformed into a global moment of action and popular pressure for Palestine and for the values upon which the international system was founded.

ICSPR stresses that what has taken place—and continues to take place—in the Gaza Strip amounts to a full-fledged crime of genocide. To date, it has resulted in the killing of more than 70,000 Palestinians, most of them children, women, journalists, doctors, teachers, and humanitarian workers, in addition to more than 171,000 injured, and over 15,000 missing, most of whom remain under the rubble. Thousands have been arrested, and more than 90% of homes, civilian buildings, and infrastructure have been destroyed. The health, education, agricultural, industrial, and commercial sectors have been decimated. Meanwhile, Israel continues to use siege and starvation as weapons of war, creating a catastrophic famine that threatens the lives of civilians and pushes the Strip toward total collapse.

ICSPR notes that the West Bank and Jerusalem are also witnessing a systematic campaign of Israeli crimes and violations, including daily raids on camps and cities, arbitrary arrests and torture, land confiscation, the expansion of settlements, armed settler attacks, and the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, all within a deliberate project aimed at fragmenting Palestinian land and undermining the national identity of the Palestinian people.

ICSPR affirms that global solidarity with the Palestinian people is a legal and moral obligation based on international humanitarian law and United Nations resolutions. It stresses that the failure of the international community to stop the ongoing genocide and crimes undermines the credibility of the human rights system, destabilizes the foundations of international justice, erodes the standing of the United Nations, and exposes a dangerous double standard that threatens trust in the entire international order.

ICSPR emphasizes that this year’s Day of Solidarity comes in a highly complex and tense political context, especially following the recent UN Security Council Resolution 2803 on Gaza, which opens the door to a U.S.-led trusteeship formula through a “Peace Council” and “Stabilization Force.” The Commission believes that this proposal, with all its ambiguity, entails serious risks to the unity of Palestinian land and the rights of the Palestinian people—particularly if Israel exploits this phase to impose new realities of division or displacement, maintain political and security control over Gaza, and turn it into an uninhabitable disaster zone. This requires a united Palestinian position, as well as Arab and international efforts to ensure that such a resolution is not used to reproduce the occupation or bypass Palestinian rights.

ICSPR affirms that confronting Israel’s crimes and plans cannot be achieved without restoring Palestinian national unity based on clear political foundations, ending division, activating the PLO’s leadership framework, and reaching national consensus on managing the transitional phase in a way that ensures reconstruction, institutional unification, and preparation for comprehensive elections. The Commission stresses that division is no longer a mere political error; it has become an existential threat to the future of the Palestinian people and their cause.

ICSPR calls on the free people of the world to turn this day from a symbolic occasion into a global uprising for human justice, through the widest possible wave of popular mobilization and political, legal, and media pressure to protect the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them: the right to self-determination, the right of return, independence, and living in freedom, dignity, and safety.
Accordingly, ICSPR calls for:

1. Organizing global marches and popular events in cities, capitals, universities, and unions to reject genocide and occupation crimes and defend justice.

2. Pressuring governments, the United Nations, and parliaments worldwide to ensure an end to the genocide and the Israeli aggression, provide protection for Palestinian civilians, enable reconstruction, and guarantee the flow of humanitarian aid.

3. Imposing an arms embargo on Israel, strengthening boycott campaigns, enforcing sanctions, and holding accountable the corporations involved in war crimes and in supporting the occupation economically and militarily.

4. Supporting international legal efforts to prosecute Israel and pursue occupation leaders before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, and activating universal jurisdiction.

5. Demanding that Gaza be declared a disaster zone, opening humanitarian corridors immediately and without conditions, ensuring the freedom of international organizations—especially UNRWA—to operate, and providing all forms of humanitarian support to Gaza’s population.

6. Ending arbitrary arrests and torture against Palestinian detainees and ensuring that investigation committees and international organizations are granted unrestricted access to detention facilities.

7. Building a strong global solidarity movement grounded in international law and capable of confronting double standards and international complicity.

8. Supporting Palestinian national efforts to restore unity through agreement on a national vision for the transitional phase, forming a unified national leadership, and rebuilding the political system through comprehensive democratic elections.

9. Calling for Israel’s expulsion from the United Nations as a colonial, apartheid entity responsible for genocide and grave violations of international law.

10. Continuing international efforts at all levels to support the rights of the Palestinian people to return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
