Since the seventh of October, the occupying and apartheid state has been waging a war without legal and moral controls or restrictions, through which it commits various types of international crimes, and does not hesitate to use the internationally prohibited weapons in its possession. It does not care about the basic principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and examines it more and more every day. Its gross violations of international law are indifferent to any international peremptory principle or rule. On the other hand, we find the United States of America participates in the aggression by sending its fleet and soldiers to the region, and the European Union also encourages the aggression resorting to a deafening silence that is unacceptable about the crimes committed by Israel from both a legal and moral standpoint. In addition, the Security Council; despite the grave violations of public international law, the United Nations Charter, human rights, and international humanitarian law that constitute  a threat to international peace and security; is paralyzed and unable to carry out its responsibilities stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations.

We are faced with the continuation of the occupying entity’s in committing international crimes, we mention the crime of genocide, Article 6 of the Rome Statute, war crimes, Article 8, a crime against humanity, Article 7, and the crime of aggression, Article 5  against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and in view of the silence of the Security Council and the United Nations, and out of our concern for preserving a minimum of basic principles of international law being violated day after day due to criminal aggression on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and all Palestine  , we call the Secretary-General of the United Nations condemns Israel and takes the necessary measures to protect civilians in Gaza, moreover , in light of the suspension of the Security Council by the United States of America we call       the General Assembly, to hold an urgent session on the basis of the “Uniting for Peace” resolution to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories, and to take the following measures:

First: Work immediately to stop the Israeli aggression against Gaza, condemning the crimes of the occupying apartheid state, and its continued aggression against the Gaza Strip, and considering it a threat to international peace and security.

Second: Emphasizing the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and freedom, their right to return to their lands, and their right in resistance, including armed struggle, against the occupation.

Third: Forming a special international criminal court whose exclusive mission is to try all those responsible for committing aggression crime, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide.

Fourth: Emphasizing that the occupying entity does not have the right to self-defense because it is an occupier, and an occupier has no right to use self-defense in the face of a situation it provoked with its blatant occupation and continued aggression against the Palestinian people and denial of their right to self-determination.

Fifth: Requiring all free countries to fulfill their legal obligations and responsibilities and to work to stop the crimes of the occupying entity against the residents of the Gaza Strip, and put an end to the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, and immediately provide the necessary financial and humanitarian assistance to the people there and provide them with what guarantees their living, medical, and humanitarian needs. As well as immediately stopping the attacks of heavily armed settlers and the occupying Israeli army on Palestinian women and men in the West Bank, and taking special action to protect Palestinian prisoners in Zionist prisons who are subjected to brutal reprisals outside all laws, obligations and morals.

Sixth: Holding everyone who planned or encouraged the occupying entity to commit its horrific crimes, whether from other countries or leaders of other countries, legally responsible for that.

In conclusion, we remind the United Nations that its responsibility for Palestine under international law, and for the Palestinian people’s exercise of their full right to self-determination, still exists, this was confirmed by the International Court of Justice in the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice regarding the separation wall of 2004. We also call for activating and developing the work of the United Nations Committee concerned with the exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people
