The Palestinian Foreign Minister at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva: “The international human rights system is broken in Gaza.”

Today, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki took advantage of his participation in the activities commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to confirm “breaking this regime that was born in 1948 in Gaza,” by giving a speech about “special treatment” for Israel and allowing its heinous crimes. Al-Maliki defended in the debate About “the progress that we thought had been achieved in 75 years is not convincing when schools, markets, and hospitals turn into mass graves, and eight thousand children are killed in Gaza, and hundreds of thousands more are orphaned,” with world leaders and foreign ministers.

The head of Palestinian diplomacy, who expressed his regret for the international support received by the Israeli side, added: “We must admit that this system is failing miserably, that it is broken, and we have a responsibility to fix it.” Al-Maliki said: “The system that gives special treatment to countries like Israel must change, which allows a small number of countries to use the power they possess to impose themselves on the rest of humanity.”

The minister accused Israel of “using famine as a weapon of war against a people” at a time when “a million Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children, are dying of hunger, despite the presence of generosity on the border.” Help is waiting to get in.” He lamented: “Instead of condemning this terrible crime, countries have simply accepted the criminal conditions imposed by Israel, which decide how much water, fuel or medicine can enter Gaza, and to whom this vital assistance is provided.”

Al-Maliki noted that this is not only the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but also the anniversary of the Nakba, the flight or expulsion of approximately 750,000 Palestinians during the formation of the State of Israel, meaning two-thirds of those who lived in Israel. Current Israeli territory – and the destruction of more than 400 towns. This happened between 1947 and the end of the First Arab-Israeli War in 1949, a catastrophe that is still very present in Gaza as an element of identity, even among young people who only know it through stories. The minister said: “Now that another catastrophe has been committed, the need for collective action has become greater than ever.”

During his visit to Geneva, Al-Maliki will also hold a meeting at the European headquarters of the United Nations with his counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Indonesia, who are also participating in the commemorative events. (agencies)
