La Via Campesina Firmly Rejects UN Security Council Resolution 2803 on Gaza
(Bagnolet: November 24, 2025) In the face of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025), it becomes unmistakably clear that what is being offered to the world as a “framework for stability” is, in fact, one of the gravest international interventions imposed on Palestine in decades. Rather than ending the genocide, the resolution reorganizes it into an administrative project; rather than halting ethnic cleansing, it embeds it within the structures of multilateral legitimacy. At its core, the resolution places Gaza under an international trusteeship that converts the Israeli occupation into a formalized internationalized occupation, designed to fracture Gaza from the West Bank and to erase the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination.
Since the so-called ceasefire came into effect on 10 October 2025, Israel occupation has continued its campaign of killing with impunity. More than 312 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during this period, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, while the West Bank has been subjected to an unprecedented wave of settler terrorism. UN monitoring has recorded over 260 settler assaults in October alone, the highest monthly figure since documentation began in 2006,turning villages, farms, and entire communities into daily targets of coordinated violence. This reality exposes the ceasefire as nothing more than a tactical pause that enables the reconfiguration of the assault rather than its end.
Behind its humanitarian language, Resolution 2803 is, in essence, an Israeli-designed project endorsed through the Security Council to formalize a new regime of control over Gaza. It replaces tanks with “stabilization forces,” replaces military checkpoints with “international mechanisms,” and replaces direct colonial domination with an “administrative peace” that entrenches the system of control rather than dismantling it.
First, by placing Gaza under an “International Stabilization Force” with broad coercive powers, the resolution imposes a new form of international trusteeship that strips Palestinians of the ability to govern their land, borders, reconstruction, and security. This is substitution of one occupying authority with a consortium of powerful states. It is occupation with a diplomatic face.
Second, the resolution reframes the core of the Palestinian struggle from resistance against a settler-colonial regime to a “security problem” requiring technical management. In doing so, it removes the political heart of the Palestinian question and converts Gaza into an administratively governed territory rather than an integral part of an occupied homeland. This logic absolves the Israeli occupation of its responsibilities, recasts the colonized as a source of instability, and reproduces the very violence it claims to resolve.
Third, Resolution 2803 advances a strategic project to separate Gaza from the West Bank by creating distinct governance, security, and administrative systems. This fragmentation entrenches the geographic and political division imposed by the occupation and aims to liquidate the unified territory and unified people that international law clearly recognizes. It revives the long-standing colonial formula: divide the land, divide the people, weaken the struggle.
Fourth, the resolution’s reference to a “pathway to a Palestinian state” is politically hollow and deliberately misleading. A state without sovereignty over borders, water, land, airspace, and reconstruction is not a state, it is a managed enclosure. It turns the dream of liberation into a bureaucratic arrangement that leaves Palestinians with the form of statehood but none of its substance.
Fifth, by replacing active bombardment with an internationalized apparatus of control, the resolution shifts genocide from its military phase to an administrative phase. Under the guise of stabilization, reconstruction, and oversight, the same power dynamics persist: domination over land, control over movement, and suppression of political agency. This is not peace, it is the re-engineering of violence.
La Via Campesina asserts that this resolution does not open a horizon for justice. It inaugurates a new chapter of imposed governance designed to subdue a people who have resisted expulsion, starvation, and systematic destruction. Gaza is being turned into a laboratory for global “security solutions” that serve geopolitical interests rather than the rights of the people who live on that land.
We also call upon all countries, especially those whose peoples have endured colonization, occupation, or imposed trusteeship, to reject this resolution at the UN General Assembly and to stand firmly with the Palestinian right to self-determination. Their historical experience makes their voice essential in confronting this new colonial framework.
We therefore call on social movements, workers’ unions, peasant organizations, feminist movements, and allies worldwide to:
- Reject all forms of international trusteeship over Gaza, and oppose converting the Israeli occupation into any multilateral or “stabilization” regime.
- Demand an immediate, unconditional end to the siege, the occupation, and all mechanisms of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.
- Ensure unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid and immediate access for international and local journalists to document the situation without censorship or political control.
- Intensify global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against the Israeli apartheid system and the corporations profiting from land theft, displacement, and destruction of agriculture.
- Hold the Israeli occupation fully accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, and call for effective international sanctions on political, military, and economic actors responsible.
- Support Palestinian peasants, women, fishers, and workers, who remain at the frontline of defending land, life, and food sovereignty.
Gaza is not a “security file.” Palestine is not a territory to be administered. It is a homeland fighting for liberation.
