00:00And we continue on topic as we are joined now by Telesur's special envoy, Jorge Gestoso,

00:05who brings us more details on this fourth day of sessions.

00:10Thank you. It has already ended here in New York City, the sixth meeting of the Group of Friends

00:18in Defense of the Charter of the UN, a meeting that was presided by the foreign minister of

00:25Venezuela, Ivan Hill, who put emphasis in his opening remarks that the situation in Gaza,

00:32which has been qualified as a genocide, is a proof, the living proof of the weakness

00:40of the United Nations to stop the genocide in the part of Israel. They expressed once more their

00:49solidarity with the people of Palestine. It says that it shows that the United States and the West

00:58doesn't have any interest to join the movement of countries that are pushing for the multilateralism.

01:05Quite the contrary, they're trying to still push the unilateralism. And in that sense,

01:10he mentioned the situation in Venezuela that says that it's a permanent victim of

01:16intents of coup d'etat, so much so that I say that is done in a permanent basis. Also, it's mentioned

01:24that the group wants to expand and is inviting new members of the group. And at the same time,

01:31as soon as it finished that meeting here in New York City at the UN, the prime minister of Israel,

01:38we're talking about Benjamin Netanyahu, the big headline was that as soon as he approached the

01:45podium to start his speech, amounts, large amounts of full whole delegations, standed up and left

01:56the room. That confirms the repudiation that we have been witnessing throughout all these days

02:04in this General Assembly, that the general community, that international community,

02:11it's really repudiating the actions of Israel. We're talking about more than 40,000, what about

02:1845,000 Palestinians in Gaza being killed, mostly children and women. And also the fact that there

02:25could be a large amount also the people killed under the rubble and double size of the killed

02:32is about the wounded. That confirms the what the words of has been expressed by the president

02:40Erdogan of Turkey, that he compared Benjamin Netanyahu with Hitler and he said that he was

02:47asking the whole humanity to stop Netanyahu and to stop this murder. We get back to you now.
