PA begs calm at UN amid Israeli violence

Amid the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, PA mission to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, has called on the UN Security Council to take action to diffuse the situation on the ground.

In a useless verbal demand, Mansour has called on Israel to withdraw from the occupied Palestinian Territory and to immediately cease its aggression against the Palestinians.

“The international community cannot remain paralyzed while this critical situation continues to escalate and threatens to plunge the region into another cycle of violence that will only bring more bloodshed and suffering and loss of all hope for a better future.”

He said that, after nearly five decades of Israeli aggression, violence, and collective punishment, which has resulted in thousands of Palestinian deaths and injuries and trauma to the entire civilian population, the international community should not allow one more day to go by where the Palestinian people are left without international protection.

“Words are not enough and action must be taken to compel Israel, the occupying power, to halt all its illegal and destructive policies and practices,” he said.
