Guterres: The Palestinian people’s right to live on their land is inalienable

NEW YORK, Feb. 06 (YPA) – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres affirmed that the right of the Palestinian people to live on their land is one of their inalienable rights.

This came during his speech at the annual meeting of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, held at the United Nations headquarters in New York

He stressed the importance of adhering to international law, avoiding any escalation that may further complicate the crisis, and stopping any measures that may exacerbate the situation, including forced displacement that constitutes ethnic cleansing.

He pointed out that efforts are continuing around the clock to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians in need, calling on the international community and donors to provide full funding for humanitarian operations, and to support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which provides basic relief services to Palestinian refugees.

Guterres’ remarks came in response to the plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which was announced by former US President Donald Trump following his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, the day before yesterday.
