NEW YORK, September 27, 2024 (WAFA) – Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed Mustafa has emphasized the urgent need for the international community to intervene to stop the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the aggression on Lebanon,
In his address at the Ministerial Meeting on the Situation in Gaza and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, held in New York, Mustafa stated, “Everyone must work to stop the aggression and genocide, lift the horrific siege on Gaza, recognize the State of Palestine, and support its UN membership.”
