I will not waste the time of this forum to respond to the last speaker, but I will just say that, as a Member State and a full member State of this forum, we would request, and demand, that our proper name be used. We are certainly not the regime, and we have a name. We are the State of Israel, and …
At the outset, we thank the President of the General Assembly for convening today’s important debate, which comes at a critical time. We also thank Secretary-General Guterres for his report (A/76/844) on this important topic and for highlighting the critical need to protect our children this year.
