But let me just say to the representative of the occupying authority: when you stop killing our children and our people in the unprecedented numbers we see in the Gaza Strip, and imprisoning them — as I said before, 1 million Palestinians h…
I respect the ruling of the President in maintaining decorum in the meetings of the Security Council. But I do not think that the speaker on the other side has the credibility to judge others about bravery and cowardly behaviour. The one whose Government and its forces’ hands are dripping with the b…
I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting, at the request of Algeria and with the support of China, Pakistan, Russia and Somalia.

I am terribly sorry to take the floor again, but I need to make a few additional comments.
One million Palestinians arrested over the past decades are terrorists? One million of them? The 10,000 who are still in Israeli jails are terrorists? The children, the teachers, the doctors, the human rights…
At the outset, we thank Special Coordinator ad interim Sigrid Kaag for her briefing, including on the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016).
Israel believes it has found the solution to the Palestinian question, a solution it has often pursued in the past but never so openly, brazenly and viciou…
Allow me, at the outset, to thank Assistant Secretary- General Khaled Khiari for his briefing and to convey, through him, our condolences and solidarity for the United Nations staff members killed or injured while they were in United Nations premises — some sustaining life-altering injuries and amp…
Allow me at the outset to thank you, Madam President, for convening this urgent meeting at this critical time, to thank Algeria and Somalia for requesting it on behalf of the Group of Arab States, and to thank China, France, Guyana, Pakistan, Slovenia and the United Kingdom for their support of that…
We thank you, Mr. President, for convening this meeting at this critical time. We also express our thanks to Special Coordinator ad
Israel’s plan is clear in Gaza, in East Jerusalem and in the rest of the West Bank: get rid of Palestinian demography to seize Palestinian geography. It has a recurren…

Now th…

I thank you very much, Madam President, and I apologize for taking the floor. I challenge the remarks just made by the Ambassador of Israel. I accept the resolutions of the Security Council. I accept the resolutions of the General Assembly. We recognize the State of Israel. His side does not recogni…
I am terribly sorry, Madam President, for taking the floor again, but I do not think that the representative of an occupying Power whose Government and army have killed more than 44,000 Palestinian civilians — possibly 10,000 more under the rubble — and injured more than 100,000 Palestinian civilian…
I thank you, Madam President, for convening this meeting. I also thank Mr. Muhannad Hadi for his presentation, yet again conveying the gravity of the situation at this moment.
We have spoken many times of transforming the Middle East through peace. This war and this genocide are transforming the Mi…

Yet that is what Israel is doing in Gaza. Those are its war objectives. That is what the absence of a c…
