He said the UNSC must uphold its resolutions, end the occupation of Palestinian territories, and act with urgency to bring long-awaited justice to the people of Palestine

The ambassador said Gaza Reconstruction Plan must be fully and actively supported, and no forced displacement of Gazans be tolerated.
