By Rami Tahboub Palestinian Ambassador to Kuwait

We have repeatedly warned against the consequences of blocking the political horizon and failing to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate right to self-determination and establish their own state. We have also warned against the consequences of daily provocations and attacks including the continued settlers’ and occupation forces terrorism, as well as the raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque and Christian and Islamic holy sites.

Security, stability and peace in our region can be attained by ending the (Zionist) occupation of the land of the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, on the 1967 lines, and recognizing the people’s right to independence and sovereignty. (The Zionist entity’s) disavowal of the signed agreements and failure to adhere to international legitimacy resolutions led to the destruction of the peace process.

That is in addition to the absence of a solution to the Palestinian cause after 75 years of suffering and displacement, the continuation of the policy of double standards and the silence of the international community regarding the criminal and racist practices of the (Zionist) occupation forces against the Palestinian people.

The continuation of the injustice and oppression to which the Palestinian people are exposed is the reason behind this explosive situation and the absence of peace and security in the region. Peace requires justice, freedom and independence for our Palestinian people, the return of refugees and the full implementation of international legitimacy resolutions.
