Palestine UN mission waited 10 years for this moment, says envoy

AMMAN: It is now clear that Israel cannot keep pushing its narrative of doing no wrong while at the same time pursuing annexationist policies and denying “our people’s right to self-determination,” said Riyad Mansour, Palestine’s representative at the UN.

He was speaking after a key UN committee approved a draft resolution calling on the International Court of Justice to urgently issue an opinion on the legal consequences of denying the Palestinian people the right to self-determination as a result of Israel’s actions since the 1967 war.
