Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa called on the United Nations to play a more effective role in stopping the occupation's crimes in the Gaza Strip, especially in light of the widening wave of famine, and the crime of collective punishment of two million Palestinians, by preventing the entry of aid and medicine convoys, and the severe shortage of all basic necessities of life for our people in the Strip.

During his meeting with the Senior Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs and Reconstruction in Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, today, Thursday, in his office in Ramallah, in the presence of Minister of State for Relief Affairs Basel Nasser, Mustafa called for more international pressure to hold Israel accountable for its crimes.

He stressed the dissatisfaction of our people with the international inability to stop the Israeli war machine, and that statements and condemnations are not enough to confront the genocide and ethnic cleansing crimes in the Gaza Strip.

He also stressed that the escalation of the occupation and its settlers' attacks on the cities, villages, towns and camps of the West Bank, including Jerusalem, must be confronted with a decisive international stance and movement to save the two-state solution and thwart the occupation's plans for Judaization, annexation and displacement.
