Kaieteur News – In a passionate address to the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Irfaan Ali, reminded world leaders of the dark shadow looming genocide in Palestine.
The Guyanese leader reiterated his country’s condemnation of the attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, and called for the immediate release of all hostages. However, he noted, “Israel’s actions have long shattered any pretense of legitimate self-defense.”
The president continued, “What we are witnessing is not warfare, but mass extermination—a systematic slaughter and displacement of Palestinian men, women, and children. Those who escape the bombs and bullets are condemned to die slowly, starved of food, water, and hope. This is a war crime.”
He underscored that the international community must not remain paralysed while an entire people is annihilated. “Impunity must never triumph over justice,” he declared.

President Ali further noted, “We must take urgent action to halt the genocide, return the hostages and accelerate our efforts towards the Two-State Solution. We urge Qatar, Egypt and the United States to continue their efforts in this regard.”
According to Al Jazeera, since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, at least 65,419 Palestinians have been killed and 167,160 wounded, with thousands more believed to be buried beneath the rubble. Israel launched what campaigners say is a war of vengeance after 1,139 people were killed in Israel in a Hamas-led attack in October 2023. About 200 were taken captive by the Palestinian fighters, out of which more than 40 still remain in Gaza.
On Wednesday, Al Jazeera reported that at least 85 Palestinians were killed across the territory, including 12 at a makeshift shelter, as global leaders demand end to the war at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
