UN HIGH COMMISSIONER VOLKER TURK:
“Nothing justifies the appalling manner in which Israel has conducted its military operations in Gaza, which consistently breached fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.”
“There are serious doubts about the capacity and will of the Israeli justice system to deliver full accountability, in line with international standards, notably in relation to the unlawful killing of Palestinians in Gaza or in the West Bank.”
“Delegitimising and threatening international institutions that are there to serve people and uphold international law also harms us all.”
LUAI AHMED FOR UN WATCH:
“High Commissioner, my name is Luai Ahmed, and I come from Yemen.
May I ask why your report mentions Israel 188 times—yet fails to mention the Islamic Republic of Iran even once?
How can you speak about the conflict while ignoring the party that has armed, trained, and funded the terror proxies—Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis—who have been bombing Israel thousands of times?
Why don’t you mention the Houthis in Yemen who have spent millions of dollars firing missiles at Israel, instead of feeding my starving people?
I ask the UN, the Arab League, and everyone who has been raising the Palestinian flag since October 7: Where is the flag of Yemen?
In my country, half a million people have died in the last 10 years. The biggest famine and humanitarian crisis in modern history. Why does no one care when half a million Yemenis die?
What about Sudan? In less than two years, more than 150,000 people have been killed. Where is the flag of Sudan?
What about Syria? Half a million Syrian have been killed. Where is the Syrian flag?
High Commissioner, why is it that when Arabs kill millions of Arabs, no one bats an eye? Where is the outrage, and where are the protests?
And why is Qatar sitting here as a member of this Human Rights Council when they host the Hamas terror chiefs in luxury hotels?” |
