Denver Anti-War Action condemns the UN Security Council’s recent approval of a resolution for an “International Stabilisation Force” in Gaza following Trump’s so-called peace plan.
The resolution goes against the agreement of the ceasefire by calling for “the process of demilitarising the Gaza Strip” and “the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups”. Hamas has rejected the resolution, saying, “assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favour of the occupation.”
We stand with the resistance. It is clear that if any party needs to be disarmed, it is “Israel”: the group using US taxpayer money to bomb, starve, imprison, rape, and torture Palestinians. The UN resolution by the Security Council is a rubber-stamp for further occupation, genocide, land theft, and ethnic cleansing.
There is a path forward that the UN General Assembly can take that would be veto-proof: UN Resolution 377: Uniting For Peace would empower the UN General Assembly to act when the Security Council fails at establishing peace or security. Resolution 377 would ensure that an international armed force is deployed to stop Israel immediately, protect Palestinians from further harm, and force the “Israeli” occupation completely out of the West Bank and Gaza.

The US-led resolution passed by the Security Council is a disgrace and an insult to the negotiations of the resistance. It disregards the reality that “Israel” is violating the ceasefire every single day by keeping up its illegal siege and now dropping bombs even in so-called safe zones. The US should be enforcing the ceasefire as a signed guarantor of the deal, not paving the way for further occupation and genocide.
The UN Security Council has made clear it serves the interests of the occupiers. We hope the UN General Assembly will take the next step to set up a real peace-keeping force to stop the real perpetrators of violence: “Israel”, funded and armed by the US. And as always, we call for an arms embargo and suspension of trade with “Israel”.
“Israel” is set to receive $70 billion US taxpayer dollars over the next 20 years. Money that could be used to feed and fund our communities will instead be used for occupation, apartheid, and genocide. We must cut the umbilical cord between “Israel” and the US.
