Your Excellency President Gustavo Petro,

We, the undersigned concerned individuals of the world, write to you in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people, who in their darkest hour have spoken with one united voice: the world must support the Uniting for Peace resolution that Your Excellency, in your bold and historic speech at the United Nations General Assembly this week, pledged to bring forward.

You can save Gaza. You can save Palestine. And you can change the world.

By announcing your intent to introduce this resolution, you have ignited a flame of hope in a people abandoned for too long, and you have inspired movements across the globe who have fought relentlessly in solidarity yet been obstructed by the silence or complicity of world powers.

Where others faltered, you spoke truth. Where others chose silence, you defended life. Today, we implore you: finish what you have begun.

At this very moment, forces—including some claiming to represent Palestinians without any mandate—are working to dilute or derail your resolution. Yet the cry of a people under genocide, joined by the conscience of humanity, is louder.

Excellency, do not allow Palestine—or humanity—to be deprived of its last hope.

Every day in Gaza, hundreds die from bombs, bullets, famine, and untreated wounds. An average of 100 Palestinians are killed daily. Each hour of delay is another grave filled.

The people of the world now ask you:

Bring forward the Uniting for Peace resolution without delay. Bring it forward now.

We stand with full knowledge of your proposal’s foundations: international law, justice, the rulings of the International Court of Justice, past General Assembly resolutions, and the most basic—yet most long-denied—moral imperative. That is why we support it unconditionally.

Your courageous leadership—first in co-founding The Hague Group, then in defending international law, and now in advancing this resolution—assures us that your words are not symbolic, and that this resolution is not symbolic. It is Palestine’s lifeline.

Mr. President, your name is already inscribed in our hearts—and we believe in history—as one of the few world leaders who chose justice over power, humanity over profit, truth over silence. The people of the world are watching. The survivors in Gaza, the besieged in the West Bank, and millions across every continent are watching.

Please, Mr. President: bring the resolution. Bring hope. Bring life.

We stand with you. And we will remember who stood with us.

With deepest respect and unbreakable solidarity,

Individuals of the world
