Palestine's U.N. representative called on the Security Council on Tuesday to use all measures at its disposal to uphold international law in the occupied West Bank amid mounting concerns over the situation in the Palestinian territory.
Riyad Mansour asserted that the international community can no longer settle for standard condemnations, which he labeled as "business as usual."
"Israel’s objective remains the same: seizing maximum Palestinian land with minimum Palestinians,” Mansour told the council during a high-level briefing.
He warned that the "evil system" of occupation is actively uprooting families, noting that Palestine has been confined by design to just 30% of the Gaza Strip and 40% of the occupied West Bank. "The reality is that one state is illegally occupying the land of the other state."
Mansor emphasized that the 20-point peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, as reflected in Resolution 2803, must be implemented in its entirety. "All of it, the plan, the 20 points, not a la carte. You do not select from it what you like to discard,” he stated.
