sions so that things will not remain on the level of accusations and mutual suspicion let's have such an investigation israel continues its brutal attack on an armed person you civilians in the gaza strip in a flagrant violation of international law including international humanitarian law human rights. and the provisions on the protection of civilians what this is is a war crime a crime against humanity in accordance with the rome statute that created the i c c we have come to the security council many times so ask for immediate action to stop the israeli aggression against our

armed people are people who are crushed under the odious israeli occupation are people who are suffering from this forces they sent and exile for over seventy years they have sent hundreds of letters describing what is happening on the ground in terms of the brutal israeli occupation of our people we have sent many appeals to implement the provisions of international law the provisions of international humanitarian law of human rights and the relevant provisions. and decisions of the united nations we have warned against. and the crushing of a people as a whole the very various forms of abuse. and. oppression we have were you not to close your eyes or to the cause traffic so you

should in occupied but as soon tory territory including east jerusalem and the continued deterioration of conditions in occupied by a syrian territory because of the israeli occupation which coming aged in the illegitimate. us decision on no jerusalem we have warned you about the constant ongoing impunity of israel we have asked for the exceptionally immunity to be lifted which makes it possible for israel to act as if it were above the law we have called israel to be held responsible for its actions and for justice to be done for innocent victims in the past and for the past eight weeks we have begged you constantly to prevent another massacre conducted by israel the occupying power.

and massacre the heavy burden of which is borne by our occupied by senior people our young people our men our women our older people without any discrimination in a most elaborate fashion what was the response of these cause is it possible that you did not hear these cause is it possible that the council did not take all these warnings seriously is it possible for us that a single member of this council prevents set from. responding to its most elementary responsibilities by blocking three attempts. of press statements which only ask for one thing. a transparent only impartial investigation to find out what is happening on the ground. where say this is regard for the lives of innocent palestinians how many palestinians have to

die before you take action and i'm asking this question in your own countries if a massacre were to take place and if in twenty four hours there are seventy there sixty one people died including small children and over. two thousand injured over the course of just twenty four hours what would you do would you accept the security council meaning paralyze would you accept it's doing nothing faced with these crimes committed by an occupying power a cowardly power a power that hides. kilometers away from the inhabitants of gaza targeting them with air strikes with rocket strikes and the other he was sacked

they are the occupiers they're armed they target unarmed people in gaza would you accept that on your territory would you accept the security council remaining silent faced with a massacre perpetrated over two of over twenty four hours. the world has mechanisms early warning mechanisms there are means there to mediate there are means to resolve conflicts there are even accountability mechanisms but despite all this in the case of palestine nothing was applied you can see what is happening right now on the ground. why did all these posts unions have to die why are they not enjoying life this morning with their families that they deserve to die did these children deserve to die did they

just serve to be taken away from their parents. the international community indeed passed laws and encourage the protection of the rights of every human being why are palestinians exceptions why. why should we be the exception why do these massacres happen with the security council doing nothing why are we the exception why are you paralyzed throughout the last six weeks we have been targeted you have been paralyzed why are we the exception what are you going to act how long are you going to follow this double standard. is specially

when it comes to those who want to teach us a lesson why do they have a double standard when they want to exercise rule over this council. it is so unfortunate that we have to us chris again and again israel has historically tried to deprive us so our humanity of our natural life right to life to justify its crimes using its own security as a pretext as every occupying power has a right to enjoy security well state denies the same right so the people being crushed by the occupation they have the right to enjoy security but we do not once again we are the exception they have the right to fire live ammunition against us to kill over sixty people in twenty four hours to injure over two

thousand people. unarmed people while they have heavy weaponry they kilometer away from these peaceful demonstrations in trenches and they have all the weaponry they need and more today madam president with a heavy heart the tear gaza strip is spurring yet again more children more young people they're burying more children who simply peacefully demonstrated to protest against their miserable living conditions imposed on them unfairly by the israeli occupation. to reject the humidity

and the oppression the servitude to which they are subjected to call for their rights that are there is the right of self-determination the right of return is where the occupying power killed sixty one civilians in just twenty four hours including eight children in israel injured over two thousand people many of them are severely injured again in less than twenty four hours. this raises a number of victims since the beginning of the great much a return to one hundred ten martyrs including. including no less than a twelve thousand civilian injured including at least a hundred and fifty children many of these victims

have severe injuries because the israeli occupying power barbara say used live ammunition israel deliberately used ammunition which is lethal or which causes the greatest possible physical injury to. palestinian civilians leaving them with permanent disability. there according to the reports of international organizations many many of these victims are severely injured i call on you to hear these organizations invite them invite me it sounds out and the other aid organizations they can tell you are kind of weapons were used which inflict. lasting. long life long physical

disability on the victims their limbs have been and amputated these are barbarous operations all they show is the inhumanity of the israeli army against civilians that's the real definition of death of terrorism any country in the world facing a similar situation to our own would have. created the greatest sympathy we do not accept being the exception we are the syrian people man and president. the cruelest. penalties have been inflicted on us because. israel is aware that our children are our greatest good we live our children they are our future the future that we wish for

from the depths of our hearts and in president civilians have the right to peacefully assemble and demonstrate this isn't an shrine trite everybody has that right here insinuations that seniors and cells are responsibility for there to have the responsibility for their deaths because they are protesting against the occupation are racist or provocative insinuations the participation of families in demonstrations is proudly use in other countries as proof of a vibrant democracy and a practice of the guy to do right to peaceful demonstration and peace and and their right to speak a million people demonstrated against the. attacks in schools the use of guns in schools peacefully but when the same thing happens in

occupied territory in gaza we are told that we are being they were using human shields we reject this racist discourse that it turns us into excluded victims of humanity we have the right to demonstrate as families against the occupation and it's our guns we have the right to exercise our rights our men and women children and older people have those rights civilized that is accepted in any other country why not in ours why are we being accused in a racist for aleisha sway just because we exercise the same rights as anyone else even though we are occupied in a much more difficult situation make the rest of human kind we wish to raise our children in their love in love for their country and participating collectively

in civilized human actions why are we being accused of doing other things we are not these activities are not scorned in other countries mention is not made of people being used as human fear shields we reject this description of peace or palestinian demonstrations all they do is seek to exonerate israel the occupying power from its responsibility and using live ammunition on innocent unarmed demonstrators and their responsibility for the deliberate mutilation and killing which strengthens the despair of the palestinian people and increases their hope for. justice and peace to come to them this goes hand in hand with the relevant resolutions of the security

council calling for the protection of civilians in armed conflict including the protection of children women and humanitarian workers and and journalists these principles should be applied in occupied by a syrian territory including the besieged and occupied gaza strip no matter what it is radio version is it cannot exclude the gaza strip from international standards for the protection of civilians ensuring international protection is now urgent is specially since israel occupied power or violated international law and clearly. dropped its responsibilities to observe international law in particular therefore thirteen of

a convention by and showing the security in the prosperity of the. palestinian civilians under occupation and therefore we look at this lack of protection for our people it now falls to the international community in accordance with the geneva conventions and also you know accordance with the resolutions and commitments of the security council itself. document sent by the secretary general on the various experiences and forms of international protection for civilians which was addressed to you when spain presided the security council a year ago at all who've modernism. shouldn't became simply words on paper and you should consider this document and consider it in depth you need

to determine what is possible to do in order to ensure there is international protection for the palestinian people because the occupying power is not to shouldered that responsibility which he has under international law which is why it is now your responsibility to ensure international protection for the palestinian people until the end of the odious occupation of our country until the independence of palestine madam president. need to mention. that the provocative and illegitimate decision made by the us administration about jerusalem it said variance with international consensus and it will violate the relevant to resolution of the security council who are as seventy eight and twenty three thirty four they chose to plump for israel which exacerbated the trends and which.

led. to this no one is questioning the sovereign rights of countries to choose where they have their embassies embassies nonetheless if this right it runs counter to international law is if it's counter to security council resolutions it's no longer a sovereign right no country has the right to imperil our territory and to place an embassy in territory under occupation you all aware of the situation in jerusalem. since resolution one eighty which determine the particular status of jerusalem as well as all other resolutions on this by security council for seventy days in twenty three thirty four in the agreements we have between us and the occupying power the status of jerusalem is to be determined in the negotiations of final status issues no one on

the pretext of sovereignty or any other pro pretext has a right to to inflate in a flagrant violation of international law and the decisions passed by the security council if we were talking about transferring the embassy from tel aviv or haifa or from tel aviv or as stude well you're free to do so by transferring the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and it is not up to the to the united states this is an international law issue. when the trumpet ministration. happened today refuses to listen to what the world is saying to what is stated in the united nations resolutions in particular security council resolutions and in particular what is contained in international law and stand as it were hughes's to listen to that this is a superpower which should be defending the international law first and foremost and that is the superpower which neat which should be protecting the security council

resolutions before anyone lends anyone else because of their position as a permanent member of security council and as a superpower they should be the one to abide by the international law and they should not trample international law underfoot they should not closing their eyes to the situation on the ground the world to the whole world nick can can can see this provocation in the united states should review the a president a position on this that this flagrant violation of international law and security council resolutions for the more the u.s. to minister ation did not just ignore the status of the city and the central role it plays in peace as a whole it decided to transfer the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem why the

palestinian people are eating the seventeenth anniversary of alan not by the catastrophe this is it in another decision where the u.s. administration is totally ignoring our feelings and our digital had rights and the feelings of a muslims christians in christians and all monotheistic religions throughout the world this is a provocations who're. millions of muslims and christians the united states took this decision was to completely disregarding the feelings of everyone including the palestinian people. the united states should have in their capacity as a superpower to exert pressure on israel to put an end to their violations against palestinian people to compel them to respect international law and create the environment can juice live to getting out of the political impasse and to guarantee

an environment which can jews have to peace security prosperity and dignity for everyone but unfortunately the united states decided to do the opposite they decided to strengthen the intransigence on the part of israel they decided to protect israel from inter national condemnation from their accountability from any measure which could rectify this unfair situation unfair to the palestinians and their right to freedom in independence and this was a last decision the most recent decision on jerusalem motivated the right wing government in israel to implement their policies and illegitimate practices including the broad daylight murder of innocent civilians without any fear of consequences because israel has always had impunity. and this fed into the israeli aspirations of getting control over

palestinian territory including the illegitimate annexation of east jerusalem madam president we have to recognize that the absence of accountability an approved check ting is israel against any kind of sanction is want allows israel to go even further in their settlement policies and their racist policies against the palestinian people. they have the green light which allows them to commit ever greater crimes against innocent people which enables them to kill a particular greater number but none number of people to imprison palestinians to confiscate grader's stretches of land and houses and to displace a greater number of people and to provoke what is happening to day in the occupied palestinian territories including jerusalem this kind of immunity impunity enables

israel to continue with their illegitimate and human blockade of the city of the gaza strip this has been going on for more than ten years this bloke kate. witnessed three kinds of devastating years when they try to try to did destroy our infrastructure which catastrophic lee were sent to the situation of a two million palestinians israel does sided to impose collective punishment which is a war crime. israel deprived them of protection this requires an urgent action to rectify the very difficult humanitarian situation who we several times called on the council to lift the israeli blockade against gaza and provide the necessary assistance to alleviate the suffering of people unfortunately this to date has not been done. and we making these appeals and exaltations today we call resolution eight hundred sixty and council

statements on this we are asking for serious measures to exert pressure on the occupying power to put an end to the blockade and to open crossing points to enable who are the free circulation of people and goods in line with the international humanitarian law we also coal for the support of which despite the financial crisis which was imposed on it continues. implementing its mandate and providing assistance to refugees and continues playing an important role to alleviate the suffering of people in the gaza strip and meet their urgent needs madam president we call it is here to council to work without delay to resolve the sensitive issue which threatens international peace and security they counsel must work act immediately to stop the massacre

committed against our people in particular now in gaza council cannot remain silent the council must demand that its resolutions be. respected we call upon all countries to work on this together in a division really. in order to support to the international law and ziska should include condemned condemning the illegitimate and brutal attitude of israel towards about listing in people under occupation. we shouldn't recognize the settlement of israel now territories including east jerusalem. and undertake measures in order to ensure there is accountability and justice. further when you to act urgently in

order to save the lives of innocent civilians and prevent the deterioration of the situation and save any possibility however minimal to to have just peace and that's why international protection needs to be extended to the palestinian people in line with international humanitarian law seventy years after and not by the catastrophe in justice and in a shock the palestinian people continue to believe together with others in the world together with all of you that the international law is the way to justice given this is the surest way towards peace. states should translate to their words into action it's time for immediate action serious actions to make sure the primacy of international law and to resume efforts to end to put an end to israeli occupation have just and lasting peace to make sure

that palestinian people can live in dignity and in peace they can have their inalienable rights exercise them including the right to self-determination and to freedom in an independent palestinian state and have the right of return our people have waited for a while a long time we have suffered for a long time we can no longer wait for an end to this grave injustice please do not disappoint our hopes and aspirations i thank you madam president. i thank the permanent observer of the service state of palestine for statement and now i give the floor to do have presented of. thank you madam president i would begin today by sharing the fact. for the past month he faced violent riots at the think you would have found with a gather three the we're not

a demonstration the there were not just the violent riots. voters of one more lot of characters blended explosive devices in a wall burning tires they have sent flaming materials over the fence igniting widespread files on these various other than i would call to other lands they are repeated lee attempted to forcibly breach the defense in infringed ready valley territory with the explicit goal of killing israelis. hamas an internationally recognized those organization as taking the people of gaza hostage this past friday a hamas led mob set fire to the kerem shalom border crossing their will and destroyed large parts of it. this causing the major entry point for out

a good to enter gaza the damage said the gas lines and it was it in fourth after one fire caused millions of dollars to appeal. but hamas doesn't care if the values destruction of our prosperity death over the peace. israel have known this fact for a long time we were reminded of it just last week when the i.d.f. found and destroyed their ninth hamas they all tunnel since last october this time no doubt they'd be in gaza running alongside the pedestrian crossing and ending the just meters from a village inside israel. if the goal was there are to kill and kidnap jews in the three rounding israeli towns hamas leaves on deaths but not just the deaths of the very civilians as we have report.
