Alfred de Zayas is a law professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and served as a U.N. Independent Expert on International Order from 2012-18. He is the author of twelve books including Building a Just World Order and recently wrote the piece “Action by the 80th Session of the U.N. General Assembly to Stop the Genocide of Palestinians.”
He said today: “Trump’s ‘peace plan’ for Gaza is not a peace plan but an ultimatum, reminiscent of Nazi Luftwaffe’s Albert Kesselring’s ultimatum to Rotterdam in 1940 — surrender or we obliterate you. A civilized world cannot accept this. The media is complicit in the scam.
“It is particularly obscene to suggest that Tony Blair oversee the ‘Board of Peace’ and administer the Gaza government without Hamas. Blair should be behind bars for the aggression, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against Iraq in 2003.
“Trump and Netanyahu agree on a neo-colonial ‘peace plan’ for Gaza. Of course we demand that the genocide stop, of course Netanyahu must abide by orders of the International Court of Justice — not issue ultimatums.
“The only valid ‘peace plan’ for Palestine is the International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024 and orders to Israel in the South Africa v. Israelcase. Peace must be based on the final report of the U.N. Independent Commission of Inquiry on Palestine.”
