The deputy permanent representative of Palestine to the UN, Majed Bamya, urged the international community to take action to stop what he described as genocide in Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need to protect civilians. He criticized the lack of protection for Palestinians while highlighting the suffering of families witnessing atrocities, stating that 53,822 Palestinians have died since October 2023 due to ongoing Israeli military actions. Bamya called for member states to uphold international law, noting that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders for war crimes and that a genocide case is pending at the International Court of Justice.
