Palestine's Ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, has stated that the implementation of a comprehensive plan for Gaza is crucial to ending the crisis and opening a political horizon. He made these remarks during an interview with Cairo News Channel's correspondent, Rami Gaber, on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly. Mansour highlighted that some aspects of the plan have been welcomed and implemented, while others remain unaddressed.
Mansour emphasized that the plan, which consists of 20 points, must be implemented in its entirety, rather than selectively. He noted that Arab and Islamic countries, as well as the international community, are pushing for the plan's completion, starting with a ceasefire and leading to a political horizon and the right to self-determination and independence for the Palestinian state. According to the UN, Resolution 2803 supports the comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict.
The Palestinian ambassador also expressed continued commitment to the New York Declaration, which is linked to the two-state solution path. He mentioned a global coalition to implement this path, comprising several countries led by Saudi Arabia, the European Union, and Norway. Mansour stated that the declaration and the US President's plan are based on the principles of rejecting occupation, annexation, and forced displacement.
Mansour stressed that the Palestinian position requires the materialization of the two-state solution on the ground and the end of occupation, in accordance with international law. He called for intensified international efforts and pressure to implement the plan comprehensively. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the meeting participants via a video recording.
The crisis in Gaza has been a longstanding issue, with various attempts to resolve it. Mansour's statements highlight the need for a unified approach to address the crisis. The international community has been working towards finding a solution, with some successes, but much remains to be done.
Egypt, as a key player in the region, has been involved in efforts to resolve the crisis. The country's efforts, along with those of other nations, aim to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The situation in Gaza remains a pressing concern, with the international community continuing to work towards a lasting solution.
The implementation of the comprehensive plan for Gaza is crucial to achieving a lasting resolution to the crisis. Mansour's statements emphasize the need for continued international support and pressure to ensure the plan's implementation. The situation in Gaza will likely continue to be a major concern for the international community in the coming months.
