Breaking| Palestinian Envoy Warns UN: Israel Pursuing “Perpetual Occupation and War”
At the UN General Assembly today, Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour condemned Israel’s land-grab policy across Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, warning it fuels endless occupation, bloodshed, and war instead of shared peace. Nearly 80 years after the UN’s founding, he said, the historic injustice against the Palestinian people remains unresolved.
Mansour stressed that despite Gaza welcoming the ceasefire, Israel continues killing and wounding Palestinians while blocking aid and delaying reconstruction, with over 1,000 casualties recorded since the truce began. He warned Israel seeks to partition and annex Gaza, sever it from the West Bank, expand colonization there, and erase the State of Palestine, as it did in occupied Jerusalem.
