The Palestinian National Authority has requested “international protection” before the UN Security Council. For its part, Israel strongly opposed a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, arguing that it would only serve to prop up “Hamas’s reign of terror.”
The Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Riad al Malikihas requested “international protection” before the UN Security Council, since it considers that what is happening in the Gaza Strip cannot be described as a “war”, but rather is “a carnage that no one can justify” and which must be put to an end.
The Palestinian foreign minister has claimed that Israel is “wiping Palestine off the map” while complaining to the world that it faces the threat of its own destruction. “We are being expelled from history and geography,” he said.
“Israel has killed more than 15,000 Palestinians (…) They did not lose their lives, they took them,” declared the head of Palestinian diplomacy, taking stock of a level of victims that is advancing “at an unprecedented pace.” in modern history”, as United Nations officials have already warned on occasion.
Palestine, he added, is at “a historical crossroads” and has insisted that “the only path to peace” passes through the creation of a State. In this sense, he has also pointed out that “There can be no Palestine without Gaza”a territory that “has a special place in national history” and that now “bleeds” and “suffers.”
“We need international action to end (Israeli) impunity to prevent the repetition of crimes that occur daily and in broad daylight,” said Al Maliki during his speech at the Security Council, which has met to discuss of the conflict for the first time since the adoption of a resolution calling for the protection of Gaza.
For its part, Israel strongly opposed a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, arguing that it would only serve to prop up “Hamas’ reign of terror,” in the words of its ambassador to the UN. Gilad Erdan.
Erdan has considered it “shocking” that the Security Council or “any other United Nations body “has not yet condemned” the “savage crimes of Hamas”an “unprovoked” and “pure evil” action that turned October 7 into the deadliest day for the Jewish community since the Holocaust.
“It is clear that the UN is dominated by those who have no real interest in reaching a solution. All organizations are now weapons against Israel,” said the ambassador, also highlighting the “central role” that Iran plays in the destabilization. from across the Middle East and when it comes to helping organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.
