NEW YORK: Tunisia’s foreign minister on Saturday condemned the international community’s failure to prevent Israel from attempting to “liquidate” the Palestinian question.

Mohammed Ali Nafti told the 80th UN General Assembly that only reform of the organization and the wider multilateral system will allow an empowered Security Council to “put an end to the terrible humanitarian tragedy, genocidal war and starvation against the Palestinian people.”

He warned that 2025 represents a “critical time for our world, a time of instability and unprecedented frequency of violations of the rules of international law and the principles of the UN Charter.”

Tunisia is “disappointed today as the Security Council is still unable to put an end” to the suffering in Gaza, he added.

“The brutal occupying entity continues to worsen the suffering of the Palestinian people before the entire world without accountability and with full impunity,” Nafti said.
