World leaders condemned ongoing violence in Gaza and called for urgent humanitarian and diplomatic action during a high-level conference at the United Nations on Monday.  The meeting brought together heads of state, European officials, and representatives from Middle Eastern countries amid escalating concerns over the humanitarian crisis.  Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez outlined two key proposals: full UN membership for Palestine and immediate measures to halt the violence.  "Spain will adopt a plan with measures to halt the genocide in Gaza," he said. "History will judge those who perpetrated this barbarity or remained silent. Let us side with rationality, with diplomacy."  Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted EU's financial support for the Palestinian Authority.  "Europe has been the lifeline of the Palestinian Authority, providing 1.6 billion euros. We will set up a dedicated instrument for Gaza's reconstruction and coordinate with other donors to relaunch the Palestinian economy," she added.  Middle Eastern leaders also condemned the violence as Sultan bin Saad bin Sultan Al Muraikhi, Qatari Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said this 'threatens peace and stability across the Middle East.'  "Israel's military campaign targeted several countries, including Qatar, where an attack on Doha killed six civilians and violated international law. We hold the Israeli government fully responsible," he continued.  Furthermore, UAE's Minister of State Khalifa bin Shaheen Al Marar called for a "clear political horizon and binding roadmap for an independent Palestinian state."  The statements come at the 80th UN General Assembly, during which countries including the UK, France, Canada and Australia said they will now formally recognise the State of Palestine.  It comes amid mounting domestic and international pressure, as Israel's military campaign in Gaza intensifies.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly opposed recognition of a Palestinian state. He has warned that such a move would risk Israel’s survival and 'reward terrorism.'

00:00I want to make two proposals.

00:02The first is that the State of Palestine should be a member of full right in the United Nations.

00:08It should be completed before possible the procedure of the State of Palestine in this organization

00:13in peace of equality with the rest of the States.

00:16And in second, we have to adopt with immediate character measures

00:20to prevent the barbarian and make possible peace.

00:23Spain, of course, will adopt a plan with measures to prevent genocide in Gaza

00:29and we will continue taking brave measures with those who want to join.

00:32Because Gaza needs it.

00:35Excellencies, history will judge us.

00:37And its verdict will be implacable with those who perpetrated this barbarian

00:42and with those who call or looked at the other side.

00:45Let's take part for the rationality, for the diplomacy.

00:49Since the beginning of this war,

00:51Europe has been the lifeline of the Palestinian Authority.

00:55We have put together an unmatched and unprecedented financial package of 1.6 billion euros.

01:02But as the very survival of the Palestinian Authority is at stake, we must all do more.

01:10And this is why we will set up a Palestine donor group.

01:15Any future Palestinian state must be viable, also from the economic point of view.

01:22And this can be achieved also with the support of the Palestinians' neighbors.

01:27We Europeans will set up a dedicated instrument for Gaza's reconstruction in coordination with other donors' efforts.

01:37Gaza must be rebuilt. The Palestinian economy must be relaunched.

01:42The unbearable humanitarian catastrophe worsens as the Netanyahu government chooses to escalate war and hold back aid.

01:52Children dying of starvation while food rots at the border.

01:58And settlement expansion threatens the very viability of a Palestinian state.

02:04The two-state solution risks disappearing beneath the rubble.

02:09That is what extremists on all sides want.

02:13But we refuse to let hope be lost.

02:17Recognition is born of urgency and principle.

02:21We have bounced due in the

02:25Many nations of our country must not be able to deliver.

02:27We should have passed the mission of the border.

02:28It's possible through the international security.

02:30We are funded by the African-American citizens.

02:31The other important Directive system is a free-to-home leader.

02:33Certainly not to lie.

02:35Our countries have gone to stay.

02:37And were raised by the border.

02:38We have gathered from the border.

02:39We are allowed to ally of Israeli citizens.

02:42We are also allowed to condemn them.

02:44We have gathered by the island.

02:46And we have been replaced with the countries.

02:48Thank you very much.

03:18Thank you very much.
