Palestine shames Israel for massacre, genocide & ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Netanyahu aide hits back

Riyad Mansour, Palestinian Permanent Observer to the UN, and Danny Danon, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, deliver powerful statements at the UN Security Council session on the proposed Gaza ceasefire resolution. Mansour denounces the US veto and accuses Israel of genocide and collective punishment, calling for immediate and unconditional ceasefire, international accountability, and an end to the occupation, while asserting the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood. Danon refutes these claims, condemns Hamas as a terrorist organization, thanks the US for its veto, and asserts that Israel acts in self-defense, demanding international recognition of Hamas’s crimes and emphasizing aid facilitation and hostage release. Both positions reflect the intense diplomatic and moral divisions at the UN over the ongoing humanitarian crisis, violence in Gaza, and the stalled peace process.
