🇵🇸 🇯🇴 “ This can no longer be dismissed as temporary military measures, or a consequence of war.
Accountability begins when we call things for what they are: an attempt to erase Palestinian life and impose a new territorial reality in Gaza.
For decades, I have stood before this Assembly and warned of the dangers of leaving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict unresolved.
But the international community chose to manage the conflict, not confront it.
And every new Israeli violation was treated as “temporary”, diverting attention from the reality being created on the ground. Until temporary became permanent, and permanent became policy.
Of course, this is not the world’s only injustice. But one of the world’s longest-running occupations forces a basic question: If international law can be ignored for decades, then what exactly is that law worth?
And how can we enforce it if we won’t even call out its violations?
In Gaza, the evidence is overwhelming: In the first 300 days of the so-called ceasefire, at least 300 Palestinian children were killed. Jordan’s field hospitals have also been targeted.”
