๐ต๐ธ๐ช๐บโWe regret the current stalemate in Gaza and more broadly speaking, in Palestine, which is prolonging the suffering of millions of civilians despite the momentum towards the end of the conflict that we thought we saw at the end of last year. The European Union and its member states have made their positions clear: the two state solution is the only that can ensure lasting peace in the Middle East, with the State of Israel and the State of Palestine, independent, and living side by side in peace and security.โ
๐ต๐ธ๐ธ๐ณ โAll of these bear witness to the continued worsening and deep cracks in international peace and security. In Gaza and throughout the occupied Palestinian territory, human suffering is unconscionable. There are systematic violations of international law, and these are unacceptable. It is high time to act to halt the horror of mass murder and destruction. No country, no peace, no security can be viable, nor can it last without the two state solution Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and Israel; the two living, side by side with safe and internationally recognized borders.โ
Iraqi PM Ali Falih Al-Zaidi called for a sovereign state of Palestine, telling the UN General Assembly there can be no stability in the Middle East without a just solution to the Palestinian issue.
