Source: In a powerful and impassioned address at the 5th Meeting of the High Contracting Parties (CCW) in Geneva, Nada Abu Tarbush, the State of Palestine's representative to the United Nations, condemned Israel's actions in Gaza. Addressing Israeli officials directly, Abu Tarbush confronted what she called the dismissal of Palestinian identity, emphasizing the dire consequences of such actions. During her speech, she sharply criticized Israeli statements that labeled all 2.3 million Gazans as legitimate targets, challenging the morality and legality of such a stance. Abu Tarbush vehemently opposed Israel's claim of adherence to international law, citing a shocking justification for the deaths of over 11,350 individuals in Gaza. Among the casualties were children, journalists, and UN staff, prompting her to question the ethical standards applied by Israeli forces in the region. The representative's address underscored the urgent need for international attention and intervention to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to hold those responsible for alleged violations of human rights and international law accountable. The confrontation at the United Nations serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions and challenges in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
