Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohamed Mustafa stressed the need for the international community to act to stop the crimes of genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as the aggression against Lebanon, stressing that achieving peace and security in the region will not be achieved without stopping Israel and its aggression and ending the occupation.

Mustafa said: “Everyone must work to stop the aggression and the war of extermination and lift the horrific siege on the Gaza Strip, in addition to recognizing the State of Palestine and supporting its membership in the United Nations, implementing the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice and relevant United Nations resolutions, including the resolution taken by the General Assembly following the advisory opinion, which includes tangible commitments and collective mechanisms, and providing political, financial and economic support to implement the government’s national plan “Building Palestine”, especially supporting and providing relief to our people in the Gaza Strip.”

This came during his speech at the joint ministerial meeting on Gaza and the implementation of the two-state solution, a meeting that paves the way for the emergence of a global alliance ready to translate the joint pledge to end the occupation and achieve the two-state solution into tangible, convergent action for freedom, justice and peace.

“We want to end the suffering of our people and unleash their true potential,” Mustafa added, noting that the international conference to be held during the 79th session of the General Assembly should represent the culmination of our efforts in this regard.

The Prime Minister stressed that our rights as a nation, and our rights as human beings, including our right to self-determination, return, life, freedom and dignity, must be respected.

It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister held more than 40 meetings with prime ministers, foreign ministers and officials on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, to mobilize support for the Palestinian cause, stop the war of extermination against our people, end the occupation, support full membership in the United Nations and gain more recognition for the State of Palestine.
