English Script:
Dr. Ali Haidar Ahmed: We are here today because one vote at the Security Council has blocked Palestine from becoming a full member state of the United Nations. It is shameful that one vote can ignore the deafening call for justice for Palestine. A call accorded by over 140 member states of this General Assembly, including 12 member states of the Security Council. A call accorded by millions of peaceful protesters in universities, streets and cities across the world. Yet one country just one out of the 193 members of the United Nations defied that outcry for justice. The cry for recognition and the call for self-determination. With that one vote, the United Nations Security Council has yet again failed with that veto. The Security Council has failed to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide. As we speak, Israel is carrying out its mass killings in Palestine. Its brutal, barbaric and horrific actions are being etched into history as witnessed in real time. Palestinian bodies are being unearthed from mass graves. Palestinian families are being dug out of the rubble by children own hands. On no account can we fake ignorance. The Security Council cannot claim to be unaware of the situation on the ground in Palestine right now. Israel’s repeated strikes on Rafah after brutally driving more than a million Palestinian civilians to seek refuge in the city, is characteristic of genocide. Israel’s unbearable escalation of violence and terror is being normalized through the council’s inaction. The only way a lasting solution can be achieved in the Middle East is for Israel to recognize and respect the sovereignty of Palestine. Israel should withdraw from the occupied Palestinian lands, and Israel should allow the return of Palestinian refugees driven out of their homes since 1948. One key obstacle in achieving that is the veto. We must abolish it completely.
