Palestine calls for an emergency meeting of the Security Council to condemn the Israeli occupation’s massacres
On February 22nd, Palestine demanded to convene an emergency meeting of the Security Council to condemn the continuous crimes committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people, the latest of which was yesterday Nablus massacre, and to request international protection for the Palestinan people.
“We requested an emergency meeting of the Security Council with the aim of calling for collective and individual condemnation of the occupation’s massacres, and requesting international protection,” Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said in a statement.
In turn, the Palestinian representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, pointed out that a letter will be sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the same to the Security Council regarding the Nablus massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces.
Mansour said that the letter calls for protecting the Palestinian people and implementing the Security Council resolutions regarding occupied Palestine.
Mansour indicated before the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People that the credibility of the United Nations is lost as long as it is unable to implement any of its resolutions on Palestine and stop the repeated Israeli acts of aggression against Palestine and its people.
For his part, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed before the United Nations Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People that “the status of Jerusalem cannot be changed by unilateral actions, and that all settlement activities are illegal according to international law and must stop”, pointing out that the UN goal continues to be ending the occupation.”
Guterres warned of the escalation of tension in the region following the martyrdom of 11 Palestinians and the wounding of more than 80 in an Israeli occupation attack on Nablus.
