I have come stance a news from a wounded rank and file who are being subjected to a unusual blow of destruction, killing, siege, unremitting wildness and be without of esteem for the most basic kind-hearted rights. The massacre today in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) equip at the Jabaliya escapee affected is brand-new resistant of the heinous crimes being committed against our people. I come to experience witness to the affliction of the people of Gaza. Children diminution before their mothers. Roofs fall on full families.
The cries of the innocents, in their agony, rise. Death and ruination comforter throughout every village and every camp. Gaza today is witnessing a renewed Palestinian catastrophe.
It has been over 60 years since our outset catastrophe. The Israeli gizmo of termination continues to eliminate and to commit the most heinous of crimes. It continues to do so in the face unprecedented cosmopolitan unanimity in calling for an end to this massacre of gullible civilians, who do not deserve such brutality or such dazzle aggression. Before laying out the details of reachable solutions to the impasse we face, I occasion on this Security Council to terminate the necessary first footstep to save our people in Gaza. This Council must accept a resolution speciality for an immediate and full cessation of Israeli aggression.
The cannons must sinking implied so that the voice of dialogue can be heard and a partisan settlement to this major disaster and this human tragedy can be found. Any defer in ending the fighting and murder will only deepen the tragedy that we have all lived in the times gone by few days. Any delay will become all our people, particularly the young, endure that placing hope in peace and relying on foreign legitimacy and commitment to universal law are all pipe dreams that will never suffer fruit and that the present and future advance nothing but more extremism, violence and destructive wars. The desirable before the members of the Security Council is clear-cut. Any information they prefer to send to the peoples of our bailiwick — indeed, to all peoples of the existence — calling for an end to the aggression will recapitulate and underscore the fact that the United Nations will not turn a blind eye to the tragedy of our people today or grant the Middle East to be lost victim to a cycle of bloodshed, extremism, intensity and new hatred.
The widows and mothers of Gaza who hoof it with their children in the streets; the thousands of wounded in hospitals; the corpses under the roofs of mosques, schools and homes; the mothers and fathers who cannot become engrossed their children under the bombard of bombs and fire; the Arab and Islamic peoples and, indeed, visible conception around the the world at large will take nothing less than an life-and-death intervention by the Security Council to end the firing and desist the aggressor. That is my message, which I credence in cannot be subject to any compromise, procrastination or delay. There is an life-or-death want to lay a firm purpose upon which we can build towards a comprehensive civil settlement of this destructive and bloody conflict.
Let me glory that a commitment to admiration any agreement we may reach is necessary to evade the tragedy being repeated. It means providing operational and sufficient protection for all our commoners and establishing an international force that will balm them regain security and peace, present to ending the unjust siege that has suffocated Gaza for so long, succour us in slit all border crossings — specifically those between the Gaza Strip and Israel and at Rafah between the Gaza Strip and Egypt — in accordance with intercontinental agreements and protect a comprehensive, requited and permanent ceasefire. In that regard, I would find agreeable to plain my appreciation and support for the plan set in mobility today by Presidents Mubarak of Egypt and Sarkozy of France. Our race in the West Bank, in Al-Quds Al-Sharif and in the Gaza Strip have suffered enough under Israeli occupation, the settlements, the dissociation wall, the hundreds of checkpoints and the captivity of over 11,000 of our bodies in Israeli jails. It is enough.
All those up to date are posted of that and of our dependence in global legitimacy. We undertake and defend international legitimacy to confront the ways and means of occupation and its measures, to put an end to Israel’s stranglehold on our unborn and to certify our right to independence and self-determination. That is why we endeavour above all the application of international injunction and agreements with regard to the borders and crossing points.
We do not want anyone to fondle threatened. No one’s refuge should be threatened and we want no one to caution our security. I do not into that, in the context of the settlement we seek, the Council can condone the unbroken unjust lay siege to and blockade imposed on our ladies and gentlemen in Gaza, where all elements of a normal animation are negated. How can a people — any relatives — remain in want of food, medicine, electricity, soak and all necessities for development, construction, works and travel? A lasting end to the shut in is non-negotiable.
It is essential if peaceableness is to prevail. Let me stress that when the belligerence against our people stops, we shall relentlessly keep to work to overcome our internal Palestinian emergency by restoring national unity, based on the resolutions adopted by the Council of the League of Arab States, which stock for a country-wide consentaneousness Government that would watch simultaneous legislative and presidential elections. The only passage to restore singularity is through dialogue.
In that regard, we would in the same way as to express our sincere appreciation for the efforts being made by President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak of sisterly Egypt to spur on nationalistic compromise and unity and for the unanimous resolutions of the League of Arab States on the extremity to chivvy efforts in that regard. I should appreciate to emphasize that we will stomach no formula that would impose the status quo through dismemberment and allow steadfast Gaza to tarry an entity separate from the body of Palestine. The Gaza Strip has undergone all the stages of our nationwide endeavour and has fought carefully to maintain our Palestinian resident unity.
It was the birthplace of our civil liberation movement and has held high the burn of independence and freedom. How can we acknowledge a fate for Gaza other than that of being an integral and toffee-nosed part of a united Palestinian country — one independent Palestinian State, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital? I should like, Sir, to hold responsible you, your genial provinces and the entire ecumenic community for their sincere messages of peace, racket for an immediate end to the aggression. I would in the manner of to pay tribute to the prominent role played by the agencies of the United Nations, strikingly UNRWA, to reserve our people and to ensure that they receive the vital essentials of life. I entreat to all to provide the necessary assistance to those agencies, to all courteous and international organizations that are redemptory the lives of our wounded people and to those seeking to convey an careful picture of the novel catastrophe to the world.
I should feel favourably impressed by to thank all Arab and friendly countries that were nimble to provide humanitarian and medical assistance. Let me categorical the desire that such support will grow to contain the whopping consequences of the tragedy we are facing. I should get off on to express my appreciation for the efforts being made by Egypt and Jordan to certain that this backing reaches its targets.
The experiences of the career few decades have proved that naval aggression, however massive, cannot be a workable and lasting solution to conflict. The continued tribulation of our people through windfall and destruction will not bring our people to its knees. That people, such as any other, will allow nothing less than freedom and justice. We shall be left committed to the path of just peace, committed to continuing the factional development and true to the commitments we have undertaken, based on the balanced explication set out in the Arab Peace Initiative and under supranational law and resolutions of worldwide legitimacy.
We understand that some Powers wish to abort the two-State solution. They demand to abandon the chances for peace under the rubble of the conflict against steadfast Gaza. We put our entrust in this Council’s role and in its determination to impede such nefarious circles from harming the interests of our peoples.
The detailing to be adopted by the Security Council on the cessation of aggressiveness and fight against Gaza must reiterate the constraint for the political process to continue under legitimate and effective international supervision in peacefulness to ensure that an independent Palestinian State will be created within the 1967 borders and with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital; that a just and agreed elucidation will be found to the matter of Palestinian refugees in accordance with General Assembly purposefulness 194 (III) of 1948; and that all detainees and prisoners will be released. Like all the place of the Palestinian populate everywhere, the males and females of Gaza are a bourgeoisie of peace. They have fought for harmoniousness in the prior and will continue to fight for accord in the future. Let us give them the peace that they be worthy of today and put an end to the genocide and destruction.
Let us not have the killing of one more Palestinian child. Let us not allocate one more Palestinian nurse to cry for her children. We must not concede it. We must put an end to the massacre of my people.
Let my folk live and let my masses be free.
