At UNSC, Palestine envoy demands action: 'Stop dehumanising our people'

In a forceful condemnation during the United Nations Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East and Gaza, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, denounced what he called "systematic cruelty"—from indiscriminate bombardment to the weaponisation of both starvation and aid distribution. Citing Netanyahu’s own words about "annihilating human animals," he accused Israel of deliberate dehumanisation and genocidal intent, pointing to over 1,300 children killed since March and infants "looking for death rather than life" from trauma. With raw emotion, he described mothers cradling starving children and doctors losing nine of their own children in single strikes, asking council members how such violence could be framed as "civilisation." He rejected the false choice between no aid or degrading, minimal provisions, insisting UNRWA’s proven distribution system could work if Israel truly wanted sustenance to reach civilians. The ambassador implored nations to act individually if the Security Council remained paralysed, warning that Palestinian resilience—"more rooted than Roman olive trees"—would outlast attempts to erase them. His plea ended with a demand for immediate ceasefire, full humanitarian access, and concrete steps toward Palestinian statehood, stressing: "We are human beings deserving the same protections as any other people."
