00:00On behalf of the State of Palestine, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the co-presidency, the United Nations and all participating states for the historic New York Declaration that was issued during July's conference and adopted by the General Assembly by an overwhelming majority.
00:28It marked the beginning of an irreversible path towards ending the humanitarian catastrophe and ending occupation pursuant to international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative.
00:43It was the embodiment of an independent state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with Israel in peace, security and good neighborliness.
00:58The declaration stressed that the war against our people must come to an immediate and durable end.
01:09It noted that the crimes emanating from the siege, the starvation and destruction cannot be a means of achieving security.
01:20Therefore, we call for a permanent ceasefire.
01:24We need to ensure humanitarian access through the United Nations and UNRWA.
01:32We need to guarantee the release of hostages, all hostages and prisoners, with the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza.
