🚨In the past 2 years, more than 18,500 Palestinians have been arrested, including 1,500 children, says @FranceskAlbs, arguing that this is not a lawful system of justice as Israel has “no legal authority to arrest & detain Palestinians in the land that it unlawfully occupies.”

🔴Movement restrictions intensified through checkpoints, barriers, and “no‑go zones”, blocking Palestinians from reaching healthcare including prenatal services.

[Annalena Baerbock @UN_PGA]

At the annual UN event commemorating the Nakba, the displacement of more than half a million Palestinians in 1948, I reiterated that the UN has a 78-years old responsibility to find a just and lasting solution to the Question of Palestine and to deliver dignity and justice to the Palestinian people. The international community must redouble its efforts towards the realization of the Two-State Solution as the only sustainable path to peace, security and prosperity for Palestinians and Israelis.

🇺🇳#NAKBA78"Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwich, in his poem, wrote, "My homeland is not a suitcase. I'm a not, I'm no traveler." This line, amongst many others, captures the plight of the Palestinian people in the wake of the Nakba, the displacement and dispossession of more than half a million Palestinians since 1948.

They were removed from their homes, their houses destroyed, their lives and livelihoods appended. In a moment, entire people scattered. It is a pain that endures across generations and thousands of kilometers.

It is a pain for which only meaningful justice can provide relief. It is a pain which unfortunately lasts until today, until this minute. It is precisely because of this enduring pain that the responsibility of this institution remains so urgent."

[UN Palestine Committee @UNISPAL]

On 15 May 🇺🇳 UN Palestine Committee will mark the anniversary of the #Nakba. The event will revisit the historical context of the Nakba & examine the ongoing manifestations of dispossession & displacement.

🇺🇳 #NAKBA78 "Remembering the Nakba imposes responsibilities not only of remembrance but of action. The pathway forward is well known. It is grounded in international law, relevant United Nations resolutions, and the collective commitment of the international community.

The memory of the Nakba must not serve only as a reminder of past failure but as a call to finally uphold our collective responsibilities so that future generations need not inherit the injustice of those who came before them."
