Joint Declaration:  Debate Panel on Humanitarian Intervention in Gaza

In response to the invitation extended by the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (IFIR), a collective of 39 representatives hailing from various political parties, campaigns, and organizations across 40 nations has convened today. As members of the global community advocating against the ongoing atrocities and genocide inflicted upon the Palestinian people, our assembly, on this day of December 2023, seeks to engage in substantive discussions and exchange of perspectives.

Introduction: The situation unfolding in Gaza transcends the conventional paradigm of warfare; it represents a collective punishment and systematic genocide against the innocent populace, effectively confined within what is now recognized as the world’s largest open-air prison. Orchestrated by the Israeli military and government, with unwavering support from the United States, Britain, and the European Union, this calculated campaign has manifested itself as one of the most egregious and ruthless massacres in human history. The urgency of addressing this humanitarian crisis is underscored by the escalating flames of tragedy that engulf Gaza each passing day.

Our collective endeavours are directed toward redressing historical wounds inflicted upon the Palestinian people: a legacy of injustice, humiliation, occupation, imprisonment, torture, and suppression.

In this pursuit, we, the participants of this panel, align us not only with the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people but also with the imperative of terminating this ongoing tragedy and preventing its recurrence.

The historical Palestinian issue and continuous massacres against Palestinian people must end.

Drawing strength from the global movement defending Palestinian people, and cognizant of the need for independent intervention and political pressure on major powers, governments, and parliamentary entities, we hereby articulate the following demands:

Immediate and sustainable ceasefire, halting the continuous bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

Complete and immediate withdrawal of the Israeli military and forces from Gaza.

Immediate cessation of the economic blockade imposed on the people of Gaza.

Expedited dispatch of essential hospital equipment, medical aid, food, and fuel to Gaza, along with the swift rescue of survivors.

Removal of global censorship in defence of the Palestinian cause.

Immediate and unconditional release of all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli penitentiaries.

Unconditional release of all Israeli hostages.

Immediate evacuation from occupied territories and the safe return of Palestinians to their places of residence and employment.

Immediate demilitarization of the region.

Comprehensive reconstruction efforts in Gaza, supported by international assistance for the return of its inhabitants to their cities, villages, and homes.

Any decision regarding the future of Gaza and Palestine beyond the will of the Palestinian people is unacceptable and has no legitimacy.

This unified declaration underscores our commitment to rectify the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza and emphasizes the urgency of global intervention to bring an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people.
