Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas captivated the United Nations General Assembly with a powerful speech, condemning Israel for what he called a “full-scale war of genocide” and urging an end to the violence. He demanded that the international community impose sanctions on Israel and exclude them from the UN. Abbas also highlighted the plight of Palestinian civilians, particularly children and women, who have been victims of the conflict.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Abbas remained resolute, asserting that Palestine will be free and that the occupation will end. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue fighting with full force, igniting further tensions in the region.
The UNGA’s previous resolution supporting Palestine’s bid for full UN membership underscores the international community’s stance on the issue. With continued diplomatic efforts underway, the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel remains a critical concern on the global stage.
