In response to the illegal, colonial Israeli-US “Trump plan,” Palestinian civil society insists on full Palestinian rights and calls for escalating BDS pressure to end all state, corporate and institutional complicity with Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism, military occupation, apartheid, and genocide. 

Occupied Palestine, 9 October 2025 – In response to the so-called Trump Plan, a scheme primarily designed by Israel’s fascist government to save it from its unprecedented global isolation, in the midst of the ongoing, livestreamed US-Israeli genocide against millions of Palestinians in Gaza, and recognizing the diversity of political positions among Palestinian parties, the Palestinian popular and civil society consensus on the following 5 fundamental points remains solid: 

1. 1. Respect and advocate for the comprehensive rights of the Palestinian people (at the very least the three rights listed in the historic BDS Call of 2005); and 
   2. Isolate Israel’s regime of oppression by ending all state, corporate and institutional complicity with it. 
2. Urgent solidarity actions now to disrupt complicity: We reiterate the call issued by a consensus of Palestinian trade unions and the rest of civil society for peacefully disrupting complicity, as per the following(4):

• Blocking, occupying or otherwise disrupting strategic highways, bridges, ports, and facilities of complicit weapons, tech, media, financial and other corporations;
• Mass protests and peaceful disruptive actions at government offices (ministries of trade, transport, or foreign affairs, for instance) or parliaments, demanding that they comply with their legal obligations under international law, including by:
  • Imposing “a full arms embargo on Israel, halting all arms agreements, imports, exports and transfers, including of dual-use items,” as called for by dozens of UN human rights experts.
  • Cancelling or suspending “economic relationships, trade agreements and academic relations with Israel that may contribute to its unlawful presence and apartheid regime in the occupied Palestinian territory.” 
  • Joining the The Hague Group, the most promising inter-state initiative so far that is aimed at promoting concrete sanctions and meaningful, consequential accountability measures, and endorsing and implementing their Bogotá Declaration. 
  • Expel apartheid Israel from the UN by withdrawing its accreditation to the UN General Assembly and pushing for lawful sanctions against it similar to those imposed on apartheid South Africa.
  • Adapt immigration and visa policies aligned with international legal standards, including by ending visa-free agreements with Israel and implementing screening of suspected Israeli war criminals.
• Strikes, where feasible, andconscientious objection to complicity in genocide at institutions and workplaces, including universities, city councils, among others; (5)
  Escalation of boycott campaigns against priority targets of the BDS movement — including peaceful disruption at stores and company offices, as well as social media actions;
• Launch broad intersectional campaigns to compel institutions — including city councils, universities, trade unions, hospitals, etc. —  to adopt ethical procurement and investment policies, where applicable, that exclude companies knowingly and persistently involved in grave human rights violations, particularly war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

Together, we can and must disrupt all complicity in Israel’s “final solution” for the Indigenous people of Palestine. Together we can dismantle Israeli apartheid just as South African apartheid was dismantled. Anything less would be a failure of humanity.

5.  Where a strike could cause significant harm to workers, “call in sick” instead – sick of Israel’s genocide and weaponized starvation and sick of your institution’s complicity in both.
