00:00Ethnic cleansing is being carried out in broad daylight in Beit Lahya and all of northern Gaza.
00:09As I stand here, displaced families were bombed yet again in tents in al-Mawasi,
00:19burned alive while the whole world is watching.
00:24The arrest warrants issued by the ICC must be a turning point,
00:30the beginning of the end of this impunity,
00:33of finally holding criminal perpetrators accountable and upholding the rule of law,
00:40of protecting civilians and achieving justice for victims,
00:44of stopping ongoing crimes and deterring future crimes.
00:49There is only one way to stop this genocide and to save lives,
00:56and to free prisoners and hostages and to preserve the hope of a different future.
01:04We all know this.
01:07It is an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire.
01:12It is what we have been calling for every day for 14 months.
01:19If there is any doubt about the systematic indoctrination of hatred,
01:23allow me to share an example of a Palestinian fifth-grade textbook.
01:30This textbook was published by the Palestinian Authority.
01:34This textbook was distributed to schools, funded and supported by the UN and its member states.
01:42You, the members of the UN, the righteous nations pointing critical fingers at Israel,
01:50paid for this propaganda.
01:55This is what the Palestinians are teaching 10-year-olds.
01:5910-year-old Palestinian children are being told that the path to greatness lies in murder,
02:05that death is preferable to life,
02:09and that slaughtering innocent civilians is a source of national pride.
02:14That's the Palestinian Authority. It's not Hamas. Don't be mistaken.
02:18As of today, the total number of deaths in Gaza
02:22has surpassed the population of at least seven UN member states,
02:29while the total number of injured has surpassed the population of at least 17 UN member states.
02:40If actions equivalent to wiping out the whole population of a country is not genocide,
02:47please tell me what is.
02:51Mr. President, killing innocent civilians can never be justified.
02:59If a group designated as a terrorist organization for killing around 1,200 people in one day,
03:08what do we designate a country that has killed 44,532 people
03:16and counting?
