Quaker Statement Condemns Trump’s Gaza Proposal as Violation of International Law

Quakers have issued a strong condemnation of Donald Trump’s proposal to “take over” and “own” Gaza, describing the plan as a horrifying development. The statement highlights the deep moral and legal concerns surrounding such a move, particularly in light of the ongoing occupation of Palestine and the suffering of its people.

The Quaker statement notes that Trump’s proposals come after a long period of occupation that has already breached numerous legal and moral boundaries. The group warns that any attempt to implement these plans would constitute a serious violation of international law. The Quakers also express alarm at the potential for similar actions in the West Bank, which they expect to be announced within the next four weeks.

The Quakers emphasize that any effort by the UK government or other entities to normalize or support these proposals would also be a violation of international law. They stress the importance of upholding justice and accountability in international relations, particularly in regions marked by conflict and human rights abuses.

The Quaker community, along with its partners, is actively working in both the region and the UK to address government complicity in the occupation of Palestine. Their efforts are focused on ending the occupation and promoting a just peace between Palestinians and Israelis. The group continues to advocate for policies that reflect their commitment to peace, justice, and the protection of vulnerable communities.

The Quakers’ position aligns with their longstanding values of peace, justice, and the care for the oppressed. Their statement underscores the need for international solidarity and moral courage in the face of provocative and harmful political actions. The group remains dedicated to its mission of promoting reconciliation and human dignity in conflict zones.
