Everything you need to know about Your Party’s founding conference
Who will be speaking at Your Party conference?
The four Your Party MPs – Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan are all expected to address the conference. Alongside this, representatives from left-wing parties across Europe are also expected to speak to attendees.
What will Your Party’s new name be?
One of the things being decided at the conference this weekend will be the new name for the party. Leading figures have consistently described ‘Your Party’ as merely a holding name, with the permanent name to be decided at the founding conference.
The new name of the party, as agreed by members, is expected to be announced on Sunday.
Thousands to gather in Liverpool for inaugural Your Party conference
THOUSANDS are set to gather in Liverpool on Saturday for the eagerly awaited inaugural Your Party conference.
Delegates selected through a sortition process, designed to ensure fair representation, will travel from around the country to debate the party’s founding documents at the ACC arena.
With a membership of 50,000, the party is the largest socialist party in Britain in 80 years.
The road to conference
Our Founding Conference will be held in Liverpool on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November.
By mid-October our founding process will have begun in earnest – we have opened our membership portal, are initiating wide democratic debate and will soon publish draft versions of our four core founding documents: our Political Statement, Constitution, Rules, and Organisational Strategy.
We will host mass regional assemblies where thousands of members will come together to listen to each other, debate and revise the founding documents face to face. All members will be able to comment, suggest changes, and track how each document develops.
In November, thousands of in-person founding conference delegates will be chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region, and background. These delegates will have a big responsibility – to debate the founding documents, propose amendments and vote on them at the conference in Liverpool. The final decision will be up to all members through an online, secure, one-member-one-vote system.
This is your time
Your Party was launched in July 2025 by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana to found a political party that was an alternative to the status quo and to decades of neoliberalism, austerity and the demonisation of refugees and marginalised communities.
The founding process is being stewarded by the six members of the Independent Alliance. This isn’t just another political party. It’s about doing politics differently – where decisions are shaped by all of us, power is returned to communities, and principles come first.
MK Odeh in Berlin: Germany – Recognize Palestine
According to Odeh, “Every hostage returned from Gaza is a victory. Every child and family who survived Gaza is a victory. But that is not the victory Netanyahu wants.” He said, “What has been achieved and at what price? Palestinian cities have been erased from the map. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza were killed, including 20,000 children. Hundreds of thousands were left without homes. This is not a victory. This is devastation,” and called on “those responsible for crimes against humanity” to be held accountable.
“The Israeli state was already like Sparta – now it has become a super Sparta. If this is victory, what does defeat look like?” Odeh wondered. Odeh also urged Germany to recognize a Palestinian state, saying that the only request he had of U.S. President Donald Trump when he came to address Israel’s Knesset in October was to recognize a Palestinian state. “So, I ask you too: Germany – recognize Palestine! Recognize that there are two people in our shared homeland, both with the right to self-determination,” he cried out, to great applause.
Regarding Germany, Odeh said that Berlin “carries the scars of the 20th century and stands as a living reminder of how far human cruelty can go when power is absolute. When racism is normalized and people are dehumanized. But a city like Berlin can be both a graveyard for history, resistance culture and rebirth,” he said. Odeh also said the history of Berlin teaches that “silence in the face of injustice is deadly. It was silence that made the greatest crime of the century possible. And yet, today we see silence return, dressed up in diplomatic language.”
Thousands of Israelis protest outside military headquarters in Tel Aviv
Around two thousand protesters rallied on the main street near the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, for the first time since the ceasefire agreement took effect.
The police forcefully removed a stand by „Looking the Occupation in the Eye,“ an activist group opposing Israel‘s occupation of the West Bank, Haaretz reported. The police claimed that the stand blocked the planned route of the march.
Today. This is the Day After
(October 10, 2025)
There’s no doubt that this is not the future that Netanyahu and Hamas desire. Trump’s outline seeks to provide a long-term solution and has been endorsed by more than 150 countries. And for that very reason — exactly because both of the sides are displeased by the agreement — it might stand a chance.
This agreement is being signed by two sides who for 30 years have been trying to sabotage the Oslo Accords. It is not by coincidence that Netanyahu and Hamas were almost allied in recent history.
This is why the public cannot allow itself to just wait around for the conclusion of the „first stage“ like it did in the first months of the war. Back then, statements like ‘’this isn’t the time for politics’’ were running rampant. The belief was that, because Hamas committed acts of atrocity, it should be completely desecrated — and so festered and bubbled national desires of revenge. And through this exact desire the ‘’enlightened’’ public cleared the road for Netanyahu and his messianic gang.
Back then ‘’Brothers in Arms’’ and other democracy-inclined (for jews only) organizations ceased their struggle against the fascist government; under slogans like ‘’Yachad Nenatzeach’’ (together we will win). Meanwhile, their opponents in the right made sure to strengthen their hold in the government and, namely, the military, the police, the shin-bet, the judicial system, and the major public service departments. We cannot make this mistake again.
Antonio Delgado Introduces Proposal to Transform The New York State Democratic Party
(October 7, 2025)
“As someone who’s served in Congress and worked in government, I’ve seen firsthand how much it matters to have a state party that is strong, transparent, and connected to the people it represents,” said former United States Representative, Max Rose. “For too long, New York Democrats have lacked that. This plan is about rebuilding trust and giving our party the tools it needs to win in every community — urban, suburban, and rural alike.”
“I can’t remember the last time the State Party invited this level of engagement. Too often, county leaders have been treated like an afterthought,” said Liz Moran, Chair of the Madison County Democratic Committee. “The frank discussion among State Committee members and county chairs showcased the value of having grassroots voices truly at the center.”
“What struck me most about the call was how collaborative it felt. Lieutenant Governor Delgado isn’t dictating — he’s inviting,” said Bekkie Bryan, Chair of the Cortland County Democratic Committee. “That openness, paired with his bold vision, is exactly what we need to rebuild trust in the State Party.”
Odeh urges opposition factions to work together to topple Netanyahu’s government ‘as soon as possible’
Hadash-Ta’al chairman Ayman Odeh calls on fellow opposition factions to join together to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “as soon as possible.”
Addressing reporters ahead of his party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset, Odeh says that the government has three aims during the current parliamentary session, “harming the West Bank…promoting the judicial coup…and preventing the Arab population from running in the next elections.”
Knesset MP Ofer Cassif on the Need for Palestinian Liberation
(October 18, 2025)
Dora Mengüç After October 7, Israeli society went through a deep trauma. You’ve said the government weaponized that trauma.
Ofer Cassif Yes. The massacre committed by Hamas was horrific — we all condemned it. But the government used fear, pain, and rage to manipulate people and justify a genocidal war.
The attack on Gaza had nothing to do with the well-being of Israelis, not even revenge. It was about realizing a preexisting plan — the annexation of occupied Palestinian territories without granting basic rights, and the expulsion of Palestinians who resist.
(…)
The only solution is the two-state solution. Gaza should be liberated, the West Bank including East Jerusalem must be liberated. The Palestinian people must be liberated — which, in my view, is also the liberation of the Israeli people. Because, of course, Palestinians are the main victims of occupation and apartheid — but we Israelis are also hostages of the fanaticism that sustains this system.
No Kings protests: What to expect at Saturday‘s marches around the country
No Kings organizers estimated that more than 5 million people turned out for the June protests. They speculate that Saturday‘s event could be even bigger.
Planning under way for international force in Gaza, say US advisers
Among the countries the U.S. is speaking to about contributing to the force are Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar and Azerbaijan, said the adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity.
(…)
After Hamas killed seven men in Gaza City it accused of collaborating with Israel, the advisers said there were discussions to establish safe zones for civilians to prevent such incidents.
Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is our only remedy
What Israel is doing in Gaza City is not the tragic byproduct of chaotic events on the ground, but a well-calculated act of annihilation, executed in cold blood by “the people’s army” — that is, the fathers, sons, brothers, and neighbors of us Israelis.
How is it that, despite the mounting testimonies from Gaza’s concentration and extermination camps, no mass refusal movement has taken root in Israel? That after two years of this carnage barely a handful of conscientious objectors sit in prison is truly inconceivable. Even the so-called “gray refusers” — reserve soldiers who do not oppose the war on ideological grounds but are simply exhausted and questioning its purpose — remain far too few to slow the killing machine, let alone bring it to a halt.
Who are these obedient souls who keep this system running? How can a society so deeply fractured — between the religious and the secular, settlers and liberals, kibbutzniks and urbanites, veteran immigrants and new arrivals — unite only in its willingness to slaughter Palestinians without a moment’s hesitation?
»Wir können uns nicht den Luxus leisten aufzugeben«
Zum ersten Mal gibt es ein globales Erwachen und eine globale Mobilisierung angesichts eines Völkermords. Dessen müssen wir uns bewusst sein. Natürlich ist es das System, sind es die UN-Mitgliedstaaten, die Israel Straflosigkeit gewähren. Dieses System besteht aus der Komplizenschaft einer Vielzahl von Akteuren und Unternehmen, Universitäten, dem Finanzsektor und all denen, die die Situation normalisiert haben. Aber es herrscht eine Atmosphäre der Veränderung, und wir müssen wissen, dass es richtig ist, weiterhin die Anwendung des Völkerrechts zu fordern. Das ist kein Akt der Nächstenliebe, sondern der Menschlichkeit, der Verantwortung und des Rechts.
Ahead of high-stakes General Assembly week, Guterres urges world leaders to ‘get serious – and deliver’
(September 16, 2025)
Nearly 150 heads of state and government are expected in New York next week, alongside thousands of officials and diplomats.
Mr. Guterres said he would personally hold more than 150 bilateral meetings, pressing leaders “to speak directly with each other, to bridge divides, to reduce risks, to find solutions.”
(…)
“The list is long because the needs are great,” Mr. Guterres said, adding that the current global crises demand not “posturing and promises” but leadership that is committed to making concrete progress.
He concluded with a blunt appeal: “The United Nations is the place. Next week is the time. Leaders must get serious – and deliver.”
Saudi Arabia, US, UAE and Egypt underscore restoration of peace and ending suffering of people in Sudan
The meeting was convened at the invitation of the United States. The ministers have engaged in extensive consultations on the conflict in Sudan, recalling that it has provoked the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and poses grave risks to regional peace and security.
The ministers committed to the shared set of principles with regard to ending the conflict in Sudan:
UN / GA PALESTINE RESOLUTION
With 142 votes in favour, the General Assembly adopted a resolution endorsing the New York Declaration, which calls for the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution.
General Assembly Takes Up Text Endorsing New York Declaration, Charting Path to Palestinian Statehood, Peace with Israel
Today, the General Assembly will vote on a draft resolution endorsing the New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the two-State solution. The Declaration, circulated at a high-level international conference held from 28 to 30 July, sets out an action-oriented pathway towards a peaceful settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the realization of the two-State solution — the vision of an independent State of Palestine living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security, based on the pre-1967 borders.
Negotiations to Reestablish the Joint List
Hadash and three Arab parties Ra’am, Ta’al, and Balad are negotiating to reestablish the Joint List bloc ahead for the next elections. “The atmosphere during the meeting on Sunday was really good,” MK Aida Touma-Sliman (Hadash-Ta’al) told The Jerusalem Post. During the meeting, Hadash-Ta’al presented a “road map toward the Joint List” who included a detailed three-phase process for the reestablishing the list.
The 109-Year-Old Pact That Looms Over European Moves to Recognize a Palestinian State
(August 3, 2025)
Speaking at the United Nations, the British foreign secretary, David Lammy, cited another century-old document in arguing that recognition would redress a historical injustice: the Balfour Declaration, issued a year after the signing of Sykes-Picot, which endorsed “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” It had a proviso that “nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.”
Rust Belt Voters Are Sick of Both Parties
(June 20, 2025)
Polling shows Americans are ready to support independent populists running on economic platforms. But what they don’t want is anything associated with the Democratic Party’s brand.
Glaubwürdigkeit verlangt Aufarbeitung
Was ist also mit jenen, die schon früh das Richtige gesagt haben? Was ist mit jenen, die das Grauen in Gaza nicht schweigend hingenommen und dafür einen hohen Preis bezahlt haben? Die Liste der Betroffenen ist lang und im Archive of Silence und dem Index of Repression ausführlich dokumentiert. Besonders drastische Beispiele lieferten die Technische Universität München, wo Studierende, die an einer palästinasolidarischen Veranstaltung teilnehmen wollten, von der Polizei in einem Raum eingesperrt und anschließend wegen »Hausfriedensbruch« angezeigt wurden, obwohl sie von der Universität selbst dort hineingelockt worden waren.
Weitere eindrückliche Beispiele sind die Entlassung Melanie Schweizers aus dem Arbeitsministerium, die Absagen gleich mehrerer Veranstaltungen mit der UN-Sonderberichterstatterin Francesca Albanese, die Kündigung von Helen Fares durch den SWR, die rechtswidrige Auflösung des Palästina-Kongresses in Berlin, die Absage der »Talking about (the Silencing of) Palestine«-Konferenz in Frankfurt oder die Einstufung der Jüdischen Stimme für gerechten Frieden und Palästina Spricht als extremistische Organisationen durch den Verfassungsschutz. Die Liste ließe sich endlos fortführen – und sie bleibt notwendig unvollständig.
Your Party now has 800,000 sign ups. It‘s a matter of time until it reaches a million, isn‘t it?
(August 17, 2025)
»In der Politik sollte es darum gehen, Menschen zu ermächtigen«
Wenn rund 650.000 Menschen sich für ein neues Projekt interessieren und sich anmelden, machen sie das nicht ohne Grund: Sie melden sich an, weil sie es satthaben. Sie haben es satt, immer ärmer zu werden, während die Reichen immer reicher werden. Sie haben es satt, dass die Gebühren für die Wasserversorgung steigen, obwohl die Rohre platzen und Abwasser in unsere Meere fließt. Sie haben es satt, eigentlich selbstverständliche Forderungen stellen zu müssen – wie zum Beispiel, dass Menschen mit Behinderung ausreichend Unterstützung erhalten, um ein Leben in Würde führen zu können – und trotzdem ignoriert zu werden. Sie haben es satt, von Entscheidungen, die ihr alltägliches Leben betreffen, ausgeschlossen zu werden.
Half-a-million members sign up to new left-wing party founded in Britain
(August 4, 2025)
Already, more than 500,000 people have signed up to join the new party. By comparison, the ruling Labour Party has 309,000 members, the Conservatives 123,000, and the neo-fascist Reform UK party of Nigel Farage counts 227,000.
UN conference launches ‚New York Declaration‘ calling on ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the two-state solution
Following is the full text of the New York Declaration:
Joint Chair Statement of the Conference: The French Republic and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
„In association with the chairs of the working groups: The Federative Republic of Brazil, Canada, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Indonesia, Ireland, the Italian Republic, Japan, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Mexican States, the Kingdom of Norway, the State of Qatar, the Republic of Senegal, the Kingdom of Spain, the Republic of Turkey, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the European Union, and the League of Arab States.
1. We, the leaders and representatives, gathered at the United Nations in New York from July 28 to 30, 2025, at a critical historic moment for peace, security, and stability in the Middle East.
2. We agreed to take collective action to end the war in Gaza and to achieve a just, peaceful, and lasting resolution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict based on the effective implementation of the two-state solution and to build a better future for Palestinians, Israelis, and all peoples of the region.
3. Recent developments have, once again and more than ever, underscored the horrific human toll and grave consequences of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East on regional and international peace and security. Without decisive steps toward a two-state solution and strong international guarantees, the conflict will deepen and regional peace will remain elusive.
4. We reiterated our condemnation of all attacks against civilians by any party, including all acts of terrorism, indiscriminate attacks, all attacks on civilian infrastructure, acts of incitement, provocation, and destruction. We recall that hostage-taking is prohibited under international law. We also affirm our rejection of any actions that result in territorial or demographic changes, including the forced displacement of Palestinian civilians, as such actions represent a grave violation of international humanitarian law. We condemn the attacks committed by Hamas against civilians on October 7, as well as the attacks carried out by Israel against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza, along with the blockade and starvation that have caused a devastating humanitarian catastrophe and a protection crisis. There is no justification for grave breaches of international law, including international humanitarian law, and we stress the need for accountability.
5. War, occupation, terrorism, and forced displacement will not bring peace or security. Only a political solution can do so. Ending the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and implementing the two-state solution is the only way to meet the legitimate aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians, in accordance with international law. It is also the best path to ending violence in all its forms, countering destabilizing roles by non-state actors, ending terrorism and violence in all its forms, ensuring the security of both peoples and the sovereignty of both states, and achieving peace, prosperity, and regional integration for the benefit of all peoples in the region.
6. We committed to taking concrete, time-bound, and irreversible steps for the peaceful resolution of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution, in order to achieve, through practical measures and as soon as possible, an independent, sovereign, economically viable, and democratic State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security with Israel, allowing for full regional integration and mutual recognition.
7. We agreed to support this objective, and, within a specific timeframe, to work toward concluding and implementing a just and comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and Palestine, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions, the terms of reference of the Madrid Conference—including the principle of land for peace—and the Arab Peace Initiative. This agreement should end the occupation, resolve all outstanding issues and final status matters, end all claims, ensure peace and security for all, and enable full regional integration and mutual recognition in the Middle East, with full respect for the sovereignty of all states.
Ending the War in Gaza and Ensuring the Day After
8. The war in Gaza must end now. We expressed our support for the efforts of Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to immediately return the parties to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in all its phases, leading to a permanent end to hostilities, the release of all hostages, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners, the return of all remains, and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. We affirmed our determination to work toward these goals. In this context, Hamas must release all hostages.
9. Crossings throughout the Gaza Strip must be opened, in coordination with the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross and in accordance with humanitarian principles. This must include the immediate lifting of restrictions and the opening of border crossings by Israel, the occupying power, and the resumption of energy supplies and the entry of fuel, medical supplies, food, water, and other essential materials. We reaffirmed the necessity of protecting UN staff and humanitarian workers and enabling them to work effectively. We also stressed our rejection of the use of starvation as a method of warfare, which is prohibited under international law, and emphasized the need to act immediately to address rising famine and prevent its spread in Gaza.
10. Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and must be unified with the West Bank. There must be no occupation, siege, territorial reduction, or forced displacement.
11. Governance, law enforcement, and security in all Palestinian territories must be under the sole authority of the Palestinian Authority, with appropriate international support. We welcomed the Palestinian Authority’s “One State, One Government, One Law, One Gun” policy and pledged to support its implementation, including through the necessary Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) process, to be completed within an agreed mechanism and timeline with international partners. As part of ending the war in Gaza, Hamas must end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority, with international support and participation, consistent with the goal of establishing an independent, sovereign State of Palestine.
12. We endorsed the prompt implementation of the Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation reconstruction plan to enable early recovery and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip, ensuring that Palestinians remain on their land. We encouraged all countries and regional and international partners to actively participate in the Gaza Reconstruction Conference to be held soon in Cairo.
13. After the ceasefire, an interim administrative committee must immediately be established to operate in Gaza under the umbrella of the Palestinian Authority.
14. We called on member states, the United Nations and its agencies, and international organizations to provide broad resources and assistance to support recovery and reconstruction, including through a dedicated international trust fund for this purpose. We reaffirmed the indispensable role of UNRWA and expressed our commitment to continue supporting it, including through appropriate funding, in implementing its mandate. We welcomed its ongoing efforts to implement the recommendations of the Colonna Report. Upon reaching a just solution to the Palestinian refugee issue in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 194, UNRWA will transfer its public services in the Palestinian territories to empowered and equipped Palestinian institutions.
15. We supported the deployment of a temporary international stabilization mission, at the invitation of the Palestinian Authority and under the UN’s umbrella and principles, based on the UN’s existing capacities, to be mandated by the Security Council with appropriate regional and international support. We welcomed the readiness of some member states to contribute forces.
16. This mission, which can evolve according to needs, will provide protection for Palestinian civilians, support the transfer of internal security responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority, offer assistance in building the capacities of the Palestinian state and its security forces, and provide security guarantees for both Palestine and Israel — including monitoring the ceasefire and any future peace agreement — while fully respecting the sovereignty of both states.
17. We committed to supporting the Palestinian government and Palestinian security forces through funding programs from regional and international partners, including appropriate training, equipping, vetting, and advisory support, drawing on the experience of missions such as the USSC, EUPOL COPPS, and EUBAM Rafah.
18. We also committed to supporting measures and programs aimed at combating extremism, incitement, dehumanization, and violent extremism leading to terrorism, as well as discrimination and hate speech across all platforms and actors. We emphasized the promotion of a culture of peace in schools in both Israel and Palestine, and supported the involvement of civil society and dialogue. We welcomed ongoing efforts to update the Palestinian curricula and called on Israel to undertake a similar effort. We also supported the establishment of an international monitoring mechanism to verify both parties’ compliance with these goals.
Empowering a Sovereign and Economically Viable State of Palestine
19. We reaffirmed our unwavering support — in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions — for the implementation of the two-state solution, in which two sovereign democratic states, Palestine and Israel, live side by side in peace and security within recognized and secure borders, based on the 1967 lines, including with respect to Jerusalem.
20. We welcomed the commitments made by President Mahmoud Abbas on behalf of Palestine, as stated in his letter dated 9 June 2025, including a peaceful resolution to the question of Palestine and a continued rejection of violence and terrorism. We also welcomed President Abbas’s statement that the Palestinian state must be the sole authority responsible for security within its territory, that it does not intend to be a military state, and that it is ready to work on security arrangements beneficial to all parties — with full respect for its sovereignty — as long as it is under international protection.
21. We emphasized the need for the Palestinian Authority to continue implementing its credible reform agenda, with international support — especially from the European Union and the Arab League — focusing on good governance, transparency, financial sustainability, combating incitement and hate speech, delivering public services, and improving the business environment and development.
22. We also welcomed President Abbas’s commitment to hold democratic and transparent general and presidential elections throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, within one year under international auspices. These elections should allow for democratic competition among Palestinian parties that commit to respecting the Palestine Liberation Organization’s program, its international commitments, relevant UN resolutions, and the principle of “one state, one government, one law, one weapon.” This will allow a new generation of elected representatives to take on responsibility. Based on an invitation from the Palestinian Authority, the European Union committed to continuing its support for the electoral process.
23. We called on the Israeli leadership to make a clear and public commitment to the two-state solution — including a sovereign and viable Palestinian state — to immediately end violence and incitement against Palestinians, halt all settlement activity, land confiscation, and annexation acts in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and to publicly renounce any annexation projects or settlement policies. We also called for an end to settler violence, including by implementing UN Security Council Resolution 904 and enacting legislation to punish and deter violent settlers and their illegal actions.
24. We urged both parties to continue efforts to ensure that their political factions are committed to the principles of nonviolence, mutual recognition, and the two-state solution.
25. We reaffirmed our support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. Given the absence of current negotiations between the two sides, and recognizing that illegal unilateral actions pose an existential threat to the realization of an independent Palestinian state, we stressed that recognition of and realization of the State of Palestine are essential and indispensable components of implementing the two-state solution — while noting that recognition is a sovereign decision of each state. Full UN membership for the State of Palestine is a crucial element of a political solution to end the conflict, enabling full regional integration.
26. We committed to mobilizing political and financial support for the Palestinian Authority as it implements its reforms, in order to help it strengthen its institutional capacities, carry out its reform agenda, and assume its responsibilities across all the occupied Palestinian territories. To this end, we called on more countries to pledge increased financial support — alongside the European Union and other donors — and to convene an international donors‘ conference as soon as possible.
27. We agreed to enhance Palestinian economic development, facilitate trade, and strengthen the competitiveness of the Palestinian private sector. We called for the removal of restrictions on movement and access, the immediate release of withheld Palestinian tax revenues, and committed to reviewing the 1994 Paris Economic Protocol and developing a new framework for the transfer of clearance revenues — one that ensures full Palestinian control over the tax system. We also supported the full integration of Palestine into the international monetary and financial system, and the establishment of sustainable, long-term banking relations.
Protecting the Two-State Solution from Unlawful Unilateral Measures
28. We emphasized that commitment to the United Nations Charter and respect for international law are fundamental pillars of peace and security in the region.
29. We committed to protecting peace efforts from any obstructive parties that seek to undermine the implementation of the two-state solution through unlawful unilateral actions and violent acts.
30. We reaffirmed our strong opposition to all illegal actions — from both sides — that undermine the viability of the two-state solution, including settlement activities. We committed to taking practical measures, in accordance with international law, relevant UN resolutions, and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice issued on 19 July 2024, to support the Palestinian people in realizing their right to self-determination, and to counter the illegal settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, as well as policies and threats of forced displacement and annexation.
31. We called for the preservation of the existing legal and historical status quo at the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem. We reaffirmed the essential role of the Hashemite custodianship in this regard and expressed our support for the Jerusalem Waqf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, administered by Jordan.
32. We committed to adopting restrictive measures against violent extremist settlers and the entities and individuals who support illegal settlements, in accordance with international law.
33. We are committed to adopting targeted measures, in accordance with international law, against entities and individuals who act against the principle of a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue through violence or acts of terrorism, and in violation of international law.
Achieving Regional Integration Through Ending the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
34. Regional integration and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state are interconnected goals. Ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—which lies at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict—is essential for achieving peace, stability, and regional integration. Coexistence and normal relations among the peoples and countries of the region will only be possible through an end to the war in Gaza, the release of all hostages, the end of the occupation, the rejection of violence and terrorism, the establishment of an independent, sovereign, and democratic Palestinian state, the end of the occupation of all Arab territories, and the provision of strong security guarantees for both Israel and Palestine.
35. We agreed to take concrete steps to enhance mutual recognition, peaceful coexistence, and cooperation among all countries of the region, linked to the irreversible implementation of the two-state solution.
36. We called on Palestinians and Israelis to resume negotiations—with international support, supervision, and guarantees—in good faith and with sincere will, to achieve mutual peace and stability.
37. We agreed to support, in parallel with concluding a peace agreement between Palestine and Israel, renewed efforts on the Syrian-Israeli and Lebanese-Israeli tracks, with the aim of achieving a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in the Middle East, in accordance with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, and to end all claims.
38. We have committed to preparing the groundwork for a future ‚Peace Day,‘ based on the Arab Peace Initiative, the ‚European Peace Support Package,‘ and other international contributions. These efforts aim to deliver tangible benefits to Palestinians, Israelis, and the region as a whole — including in areas such as trade, infrastructure, energy, and enabling regional integration — ultimately leading to the establishment of a regional security structure that promotes stability.
39. In this regard, we have decided to explore, in the context of achieving a sovereign Palestinian state, a regional security structure that could provide security guarantees for all. This structure would draw upon the experiences of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), paving the way for a more stable and secure Middle East. It would also include the establishment of a regional and international framework to appropriately support the resolution of the refugee issue, with an emphasis on the right of return.
40. We are determined to ensure that the decisions made at this conference represent a turning point — mobilizing the entire international community, at political, economic, financial, and security levels — to launch a long-awaited, brighter future for all nations and peoples.
41. We have decided to assign the co-chairs of the conference and the working groups — including within the framework of the Global Coalition for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution — to serve as an international mechanism for following up on the goals and commitments of this conference. We agreed to mobilize the international community at the leadership level around these commitments on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025.
42. This declaration and its annex reflect the outcomes of the eight working groups convened as part of the conference. These outcomes set out a comprehensive and implementable framework for a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the two-state solution. They represent proposals covering political, security, humanitarian, economic, legal, and strategic dimensions, and constitute a practical, time-bound action plan to guide international engagement, implementation, operational coordination, and follow-up efforts toward achieving the two-state solution and full regional integration.“
As mass starvation spreads across Gaza, our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away – More than 100 organizations are sounding the alarm to allow in life-saving aid.
Governments must stop waiting for permission to act. We cannot continue to hope that
current arrangements will work. It is time to take decisive action: demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire; lift all bureaucratic and administrative restrictions; open all land crossings; ensure access to everyone in all of Gaza; reject military-controlled distribution models; restore a principled, UN-led humanitarian response and continue to fund principled and impartial humanitarian organisations. States must pursue concrete measures to end the siege, such as halting the transfer of weapons and ammunition.
Piecemeal arrangements and symbolic gestures, like airdrops or flawed aid deals, serve as a smokescreen for inaction. They cannot replace states’ legal and moral obligations to protect Palestinian civilians and ensure meaningful access at scale. States can and must save lives before there are none left to save.

115 Hilfsorganisationen fordern Ende der Gaza-Blockade
„Regierungen dürfen nicht mehr auf die Erlaubnis zu handeln warten“, heißt es in dem Appell weiter. Nötig seien ein sofortiger und dauerhafter Waffenstillstand, ein ungehinderter Zugang sowie eine von den UN geführte Hilfsmission, die nicht vom Militär kontrolliert wird.
„Das UN-geführte humanitäre System hat nicht versagt, es wird daran gehindert, zu funktionieren“, erklären die Organisationen und mahnen Israel: „Zivilisten als Kriegswaffe verhungern zu lassen, ist ein Kriegsverbrechen.“
More than 100 aid, rights groups call for action as hunger spreads in Gaza
The organizations called for governments to demand that all bureaucratic and administrative restrictions be lifted, all land crossings be opened, access to everyone across Gaza to be ensured and for the rejection of military-controlled distribution and a restoration of a „principled, UN-led humanitarian response.“
„States must pursue concrete measures to end the siege, such as halting the transfer of weapons and ammunition.“
It’s time to move the UN headquarter from New-York to Geneva (2004)
(2004)
So let’s help Move America Forward get a big success with their petition to outs the UN from the US; and let’s start prepare for hosting the future UN headquarter in Geneva. If I were to be the Swiss authorities, I would immediately start thinking of recruiting architects and funds. Even if it takes a decade to be decided upon, a decade is a short time in this matter.
