NABLUS, Thursday, May 30, 2027 (WAFA) – The Permanent Representative of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, Minister Riyad Mansour, said that Israel continues to defy the world and continues to commit the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip despite the ICJ`s ruling to stop the crime  of genocide and stop the killing of Palestinian civilians.

This came during the speech of the State of Palestine, delivered by Mansour at the tenth session of the ministerial meeting of the Arab-Chinese Cooperation Forum, held in the Chinese capital, Beijing, and it addresses regional and international issues of common concern, most notably the Palestinian issue.

He pointed out that these are all policies and practices that are contrary to international law, the United Nations Charter and its resolutions, and serve to achieve one goal, which is to eliminate any hope for the sovereignty of a Palestinian state.

Mansour explained that what is happening now in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and especially the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, confirms the compatibility of the political reading of China and the Arab countries, as China was the first to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to protect civilians and prevent the expansion of the conflict.

He pointed out that China, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, played a pivotal role in supporting the Arab position in adopting Security Council Resolutions 2712, 2720, and 2728.

He stressed the need to intensify efforts for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to stop bloodshed and protect lives, and to introduce humanitarian aid adequately, permanently and immediately without any obstacles.

Mansour further called for supporting the efforts of the United Nations, especially UNRWA, and provide financial and political support to it as it is the backbone that has no alternative, especially in the Gaza Strip, which is now suffering from famine and intentional starvation.
