🇵🇸 🇧🇷 “No situation is more emblematic of the disproportionate and illegal use of force than the one occurring in Palestine…nothing, absolutely nothing justifies the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
There, under tons of rubble, are buried tens a thousands of innocent women and children. There, we can see that international humanitarian law and the myth of ethical exceptionalism of the West are also being buried there.
This massacre would not have happened without the complicity of those who could have prevented it.
In Gaza, hunger is used as a weapon of war, and the forced displacement of populations goes on unpunished.
The Palestinian people are at a risk of disappearing.
They will only survive with an independent state integrated into the international community. This is the solution defended by more than 150 UN members reaffirmed yesterday here in this very plenary, but barred by a single veto.
It is regrettable that President Mahmoud Abbas was prevented by the host country of occupying the Palestinian bench at this historical moment.”
