Mansour reiterated calls to the international community, particularly the Security Council and General Assembly, to take immediate action to hold Israel accountable for its crimes and achieve justice for the Palestinian people. "For 10 months, the world has watched this horrific genocide and witnessed the most heinous atrocities, yet has failed to act to protect Palestinian civilians, neglecting the most serious commitments under the Charter and customary international law binding on all nations," he said.
Mansour informed officials that the death toll in 10 months of the Israeli onslaught is extremely high, mostly women and children and Tel Aviv has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians.
