What the world is witnessing in Gaza is not warfare, but mass extermination. This was noted by Guyana’s President Dr Irfaan Ali at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly today.
While reiterating the Government of Guyana’s condemnation of the attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023 and the call for the immediate release of hostages, Ali expressed concern over the “systematic slaughter” and displacement of Palestinian men, women, and children.
“Those who escaped the bombs and bullets are condemned to die slowly; starved of food, water, and hope.
This is a war crime. The international community must not remain paralyzed while an entire people is annihilated,” he urged fellow Heads of State.
The President said that impunity must never triumph over justice that that the global community must take urgent action to halt the genocide, return the hostages, and accelerate our efforts towards the two-state solution.
He urged Qatar, Egypt, and the United States to continue their efforts in this regard.
