The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, is addressing an emergency UN General Assembly session, and here is what he has said so far in his emotional speech:

“For millions of Palestinians, there is no home to go back to. For thousands, there is no family left to embrace, not by an act of God, but the act of a government represented here in this chamber.

“[Israel] believes if you say Hamas enough times, the world will not be able to object to wiping [entire families] from the face of the earth.

“Why do some feel so much pain for Israelis and so little pain for us, the Palestinians? What is the problem? Do we have the wrong faith, the wrong skin colour, the wrong nationality?

“Why not feel a sense of urgency to end our killing? Nothing can justify war crimes.”

“Let us all remember we are meeting here while Palestinians in Gaza are under the bombs.

“Remember that you are speaking while families are being killed, while hospitals are coming to a halt, while neighbourhoods are being destroyed, while people are fleeing from one place to another with nowhere safe to go.

“I urge you to choose your words carefully and to act accordingly. For all those mobilised against an even greater man-made humanitarian catastrophe, or of regional spillover, and these are worthy goals, we say stop the bombs or both will happen.

“Stop the bombs and save lives.”
