English Script:
Osama Abdel Khalek: Mr. Honorable President, this is not merely a procedural matter. This is a historic moment for us. The State of Palestine should be seated in the General Assembly among member states, full members. This is history in the making. For 140 or more than that of us, the State of Palestine possesses all the legal elements of a state. I ask you, honorable president, to confirm that this clause of Resolution ES-10/23 has come into force as of today, being the first plenary of UNGA 79 session, and I request you to confirm with the secretariat that his Excellency ambassador, Riyad Mansour, the distinguished, Permanent Representative of the State of Palestine, is seated among the member states accordingly.
Philemon Yang: I have been informed that all arrangements have been made to have Palestine seated where it is supposed to sit.
