A group of Palestinian organisations has issued a forceful statement on Sunday rejecting US proposals to place Gaza under an externally imposed transitional administration, warning that such a move amounts to “a new colonialism.”

The National Commission for Palestinian Popular Action (NCPPA) said any attempt to install a governing body “outside the will of the Palestinian people” violates their right to self-determination and seeks to repackage old forms of domination “under updated labels.”

It stressed that decisions about Gaza’s future must come from Palestinians themselves and safeguard the unity of the land, the legitimacy of resistance to the Israeli occupation, and the “right to freedom, resistance, and self-determination” guaranteed under international law.

The NCPPA is a global alliance including the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, The Palestinian National Conference, the Popular Palestinian Conference, the Palestinian Federation in Latin America, and independent Palestinian figures – according to PalInfo, and had a conference in Istanbul recently

A US draft resolution that is set to go to the UN Security Council on Monday is drawing sharp warnings from legal experts and Palestinian groups, who say Washington is trying to hardwire Israel’s genocide in Gaza into an international framework.

The text seeks to endorse the Trump Peace Plan, the so-called “Comprehensive Plan”, and sign off on two new bodies: a civilian transitional administration named the Board of Peace and a militarised “International Stabilisation Force.”

Normalising genocide

The draft hands sweeping powers to the Board of Peace, including oversight of Gaza’s governance, reconstruction, economic recovery, and the coordination of humanitarian operations.

Critics say the move uses the UN’s authority to normalise the genocide and impose yet another foreign regime on Palestinians.

The plan rests outside any recognised international legal framework and instead lays out a parallel order built on security control and external authority.
