Sincere gratitude to all the supporthere for their for holding this emergency session, which is aligned with the position on the question of palestine. Mr. President , we express our regret over the fact that the United States of america exercised the veto against the draft resolution submitted by the egyptian arab republic at the Security Council on behalf that was aimed to protect the city of jerusalem should it attempt to change any of its legal and historical position that is entrenched. Also the approach adopted by the United States to confront and to run counter to 14 votes in the Security Council which are representative of international concessions and then mostly concessions unanimously on the principles of International Law and the resolution government. The position taken by the United States is considered null and void and has no legal consequence that would change the status of occupied jerusalem, which is considered a latent pilot of the rights of the Palestinian People and the arab nation and all muslims and christians of the world. A dangerousered violation in breach of International Law, which stipulates an inadmissibility of forceful annexation of land and is a serious threat to the security of the region and the world, not to mention the fact that it undermines any chance for a resolution of the solut situation. Muchl continues to be occupied of the land that how signed, and palestine does not have the right to exercise its sovereignty, including East Jerusalem. Including all states, the United States of america, to not recognize any measures and any steps that run counter to that, and we ask that they refrain from the establishment of in the holy city pursuant to Security Council resolutions that have been endorsed by the u. S. Representative on this question, which has remained over many decades. We condemn all policies all israeli policies that are illegal in the aim to end next annex East Jerusalem and change its arab identity construction. We reject all attempts to change its historic and legal status of islamic and christian holy sites, including and we appreciate the role that is being played by the kingdom of protectionffering and the confronting all of these illegal attempts and of the garden in of the holy sites in the city. The that is being made by the committee which is led by the kingdom. We also salute the of the Palestinian People whose people will defend their land and their culture in the face of oppression and of aggression, and in case of anyone trying to deny there exist theyre great to exist in a holy arab system, mr. President , the only annexation of arab territories including Palestinian Land is the source of all tension in the region. No securitye without finding solutions that would do justice to the palestinians and will give them their rights and freedom and dignity and independence of a palestinian state that would have East Jerusalem as its capital on the basis of a solution that was attempted at peace, which included a Peace Initiative that continues to stand since 2002 that stands for the just asus of a solution that has been agreed on by the International Community, including the Security Council. And as chair of the air group this month, and in partnership with turkey, as the chair of the islamic side, present the General Assembly with a draft resolution on the status of the city of jerusalem under the tight it united title united for peace. This draft estimates that any decisions and actions which purport to alter the character of the holy city of jerusalem has no legal effect and is null and void completely and must the rescinded in compliance with her resolutions with the resolutions of the Security Council. Regard, call on all states to refrain from the status front of injures, pursuant to resolution number 478 of 1980. Moreover, it demands that all states that comply with the resolution regarding the holy city of jerusalem and not recognize any measures contrary to these resolutions. It reiterates its call for the reversal of the negative trends on the ground that are in solutionhat twostate and for the intensification and acceleration of efforts and support aimed at achieving without delay a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in the middle east. On the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions, including the principle of land for peace, the initiatives, and a quartet roadmap, and that ends with the Israeli Occupation that began in 1967. Mr. President , i would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the initiated by the republic of egypt in its delegation the arab to the Security Council and tabling the resolution of the council as well as bolstering support for Member States that have voted in favor of the draft resolution, and we celebrate their positions. We would like to express our thanks to the delegations have joined in the sponsorship of the draft resolution for supporting the principles, which is a reflection of their positions on the rule of law and the just cause of how sign. We call upon on all peaceloving up for theo stand rule of law. We ask them to support this just resolution to vote for rights come to vote for peace, to vote for stability in the middle east and the entire world. I thank you. I think the representative of yemen. I now give the floor to the observer of the state of palestine, minister for Foreign Affairs. Translator mr. President of the General Assembly, your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, we have asked we have called for holding this 10th Emergency Special session of the General Assembly in order to make heard the voice of the International Community, which has been am by the eye the reactions of peac people throughout the world. The obvious majority was experienced in the Security Council where a vote was conducted on a draft resolution that confirmed the legal and political and historical status of and the fact that any attempts to change the status would be novel, but to thank the arab group and the Member States for calling for this emergency session after the use obstructed the Security Council and made it impossible for it to do its 14y, despite the fact that Member States of the council supported the draft resolution tabled by egypt and which we thank is for. Has theral assembly now right to undertake the and thisty and session comes after decisions made by the arab council in guardian the it is also pursuant to the session of the oic in istanbul. [indiscernible] the dangerousness of the u. S. Decision for peace and security in the region and on an international level. Anyeet today not because of animosity towards the United States of america, but because of this decision which on theutes an aggression general and natural rights of the Palestinian People to the nation and the arab and all the muslims and christians of the world. An aggression on the status of jerusalem, its religious and humanitarian will not impact the status and position of the holy city in any way whatsoever. Rather, it naturally affects the status of the United States as a mediator of peace. Failed in the theft of jerusalem despite our warning and the warnings of the entire world not to take the steps seriously and our warnings of the danger of taking any position and 80 decisions that would inflame and contribute towards transferring this solution, a political solution that can be solved, to a religious war that has no boundaries. Serve . Es this decision the Israeli Government in implementing its colonial plan. It serves the powers of extremism and terrorism in the world. Who could imagine that there would be any credibility to any peace plan where jerusalem is excluded . Is there any voice that supports encourages an ability that has supported this decision . Has this decision been described not to mention the christian and Islamic Religious establishments and authorities throughout the world . Does not the United States wonder why it stands isolated in this position, which is being rejected by everyone near and our closest, even ally could not turn a blind eye to this decision . The answer is clear. Of it is the path of the prophet, it is the gateway to heaven, is the third of the holy it cannot be misrepresented. It cannot be fortified. It will not fault any domination. It is a key to war. In thehe key to peace middle east and the entire world. Therefore, International Law reaches a consensus. All states careful respecting the special status of jerusalem and the historic status of the holy sites, including today, the United States once again misses an opportunity to go back an illegal and provocative decision. It is an opportunity to join the International Community. However, its decision to ignore the dangerous custom and and the call of the International Community, to respect the laws of which govern our world and which prevent the escalation of a conflict has offered a framework of reference for a just, peaceful solution. Mr. President , the state of palestine respects the sovereignty of states so long as this sovereignty is in line with International Law. However, we refuse to have this used as an excuse to violate International Law and trespass on the rights of our Palestinian People, which are inalienable,. We stand here today with the countries of the world, all of the world united for freedom, for justice, for peace. The veto will not stop us. He will not be threatened. We will not be threatened. We are confronting these challenges, and we rely on International Law in doing this, and we seek its judgment. We do not seek what a piece would be, religious advice that is being used in order to justify colonialism and justified the forceful annexation of land. We wonder how israel, the occupying authority, has not yet realized the countries here represent people that just for many decades have suffered from colonialism, aggression, and that they know very well the difference between colonialism and others and will refuse any kind of justification for these crimes. Specifications that have been exposed by the experience and the struggles of people, and these countries and their people are loyal, and palestine will not forget the support that it has received from them until they have achieved and redeemed their freedom. These states recognize and understand the rationale for which this organization was formed over 70 years ago in the aftermath of world war ii. It is based on justice, collective will come and which is will, and which is embodied in the charter of the United Nations. This is now an unprecedented test with palestine being its headline. All International Frameworks have agreed on the rights of the justice of our palestinian cause. This includes the General Assembly, Security Council, the International Court of justice, thethe conference o of Geneva Convention to. Today we trust the state invoking would rely on this basis and this Firm Foundation which are also based on the logic that is in line with mr. President , history records names, it remembers names. The name of those who stand by what is right and the names of those who speak falsehoods. Of today we are seekers rights and peace, despite the oppression and the injustice that has the following our women, theldren, elderly, who have been affected to the cap pastor the 70 catastrophe 70 years ago. March on theur century,ain for over a we have not wavered in our will to achieve peace whenever we were given the chance. Colonialism and peace do not meet, and those who choose peace must rescind colonialism, and those who choose colonialism are the enemy of peace. Israel does not hide its intentions. The mediator has decided to take side andnd its ignore what is right. This request the coordination of International Mechanism in the framework of reference of the Peace Process that was embodied and to achieve a just and lasting peace that was a chore, that will guarantee security and peace to all the peoples in the region. ThePeace Process is not exclusive property of one party, and palestine is the responsibility of the International Community, to arrive at a just solution that would guarantee a right to the Palestinian People and in a manner that cannot be limited and tied to the good intentions of the International Community and the occupational power. These states cannot use the excuse of supporting to ma
