Abdel Khaleq emphasized that Israel continues to commit crimes, boast about them, and justify its actions due to the absence of an effective deterrent or resolve from the international community to enforce UN resolutions and halt violations of international humanitarian law.

He added that Israel's actions have systematically rendered Gaza uninhabitable, stripping it of basic human necessities through a series of repeated and varied crimes, including the destruction of the healthcare system, as part of a forced displacement policy aimed at erasing the Palestinian cause.

Abdel Khaleq expressed the Arab Group’s appreciation for Egyptian and Qatari mediation efforts, with US involvement, to facilitate a ceasefire.

He underscored the need for the international community to take decisive action, including halting forced displacement policies, ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid, compelling Israel to comply with international resolutions, and providing protection for civilians and healthcare workers.

Abdel Khaleq called for immediate measures to stop arms exports to Israel, holding it accountable for its crimes, and ensuring the protection of civilians and medical facilities in accordance with international conventions.

He criticized the double standards applied to Gaza compared to other regions and emphasized that Israel’s actions will not force Palestinians to abandon their land or compel Arabs and peace-loving nations to abandon the Palestinian cause.

Concluding his statement, Abdel Khaleq affirmed that, despite Israeli aggression, the Palestinian people will inevitably achieve their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. (MENA)
