He said that this is supported by dozens of resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council, but the occupation still exists and continues with its settlement plan, which aims to rob the rest of historic Palestine, to make the two-state solution impossible.
He also indicated that the unification of the Palestinians would enable them to determine their own destiny and would give the international decisions their executive force in restoring rights and building an independent and sovereign Palestinian state, calling for the need to enhance freedom of expression and acceptance of the other opinion and renounce hate speech, enhance freedom of assembly and association, strengthen democracy and share power and combat hate speech.
Head of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) and Permanent Representative of Senegal to the United Nations Cheikh Niang gave a video speech on the inalienable Palestinian rights.
He explained that the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) stated, despite all the decisions and efforts made by the international community, the Palestinian issue is still unresolved, as Israel continues its occupation by expanding its illegal settlements in addition to confiscating property and buildings and displacing of Palestinian families.
