The Acting President
The exercise of the right of reply has been requested. I would like to remind members that statements in exercise of the right of reply are limited to 10 minutes for the first intervention and five minutes for the second, and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Cappon (Israel)
I regret that once again some delegations in this Hall have chosen to exploit its platform to disseminate falsehoods and fake news.

Hamas is exploiting specifically hospitals a…
Mr. Altarsha (Syrian Arab Republic)
As members know, the delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic is exercising its right of reply in response to statements by Member States. However, the Zionist entity is an occupying Power. Those are not my words but rather those of United Nations resolutions. Therefore, why would the representative of a State that is more than 5,000 years old respond to a representative of an occupying entity that…
The Acting President
