“What is happening in northern Gaza now is another level of monstrosity,” Mansour said, focusing on Israel’s ongoing relentless pounding of the northern Gaza Strip.
“Silence and inaction are not an option. Are you ready to proclaim that while Palestinians refuse to surrender even when faced with collective capital punishment, this council decided to surrender?"
He added, “We know that many members around this table refuse to do so, and we call on them today to fight back, with the tools provided by the [UN] charter and by the law, to combat those who are obliterating the charter and the law. This is the responsibility of the council and each and every state around the world”.
“The massacres have to stop; ceasefire now,” Mansour said.
