The Palestinian Presidency has reaffirmed its commitment to achieving peace and security through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Spokesman Nabiel Abu Rudineh stated that any attempts to bypass Palestine and silence its people will not succeed. He made these remarks in light of the recent United Nations General Assembly meeting, where Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was barred from delivering a speech.
Abu Rudineh expressed appreciation for the stances of Arab, Islamic, and friendly countries during the high-level meeting convened by Saudi Arabia, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The meeting, attended by the UN Secretary-General and several leaders, reaffirmed their commitment to the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. According to Abu Rudineh, these positions reflect the depth of international solidarity with Palestine and demonstrate that attempts to isolate or silence it will fail.
The Palestinian people’s voice has become strongly present across all continents, as reflected in UN decisions and the positions of the majority of its member states. Abu Rudineh emphasized that no unfair decisions or attempts will deter the Palestinian leadership from conveying its national message to the international community. He highlighted that 152 countries in the UN General Assembly voted against a coercive decision and explicitly demanded its reversal.
This significant vote represents a substantial setback for attempts to undermine Palestinian rights and serves as an international referendum that reflects the magnitude of global support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate struggle. The Palestinian Presidency has reiterated that Palestine will continue to be actively engaged in the UN General Assembly and other international forums.
Palestine will persist in overcoming all obstacles and restrictions to amplify the voice of the Palestinian people, who are resolute in defending their national constants. These constants, according to Abu Rudineh, are not subject to negotiation or political extortion. The Palestinian leadership, led by President Mahmoud Abbas, remains committed to its political, diplomatic, and legal struggle.
The ultimate goal of this struggle is to bring an end to the Israeli occupation in all its forms and to establish an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Abu Rudineh stressed that as long as Jerusalem remains occupied and the Israeli occupation persists, peace and security will remain elusive.
The Palestinian people’s determination and resilience in the face of occupation and adversity remain unwavering. The international community continues to acknowledge the legitimacy of their cause, and Palestine will continue to assert its presence on the global stage until its rights are recognized and its people attain freedom and independence.
