“If the world allows Palestine to be erased, then it was never meant for everyone, only for some. If the law can’t protect Palestinians, it can’t protect anyone,” said Nadya Rasheed, the Palestinian ambassador to Mexico. She added that in two years of genocide, more than 62,000 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli army. Among them, more than 20,000 children.
In a keynote address, wearing a traditional Palestinian keffiyeh on her shoulder, the diplomat demanded “a permanent ceasefire to stop the genocide. We demand unrestricted humanitarian aid for Gaza; we demand the release of all [prisoners in Israeli cells].” In this regard, she asserted that “anything less than this is not peace; it is preparation for the next massacre.”
