Renewing its commitment to supporting the Palestinian people, Iraq’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Abdul-Karim Mustafa, urged the establishment of a fund for reconstructing the Gaza Strip. Mustafa made this plea during a special session discussing UNCTAD’s report on supporting Palestinians, as part of the 71st Executive Session of UNCTAD.
Expressing concerns over the aftermath of the Israeli-Gaza conflict, Mustafa condemned Israel’s actions as crimes against humanity. He highlighted the economic decline in occupied territories, high unemployment rates, and the forced displacement of Palestinians due to settlements.
Mustafa reiterated Iraq’s firm commitment to the Palestinian cause, advocating for their right to self-govern and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. This call for a fund to aid Gaza’s reconstruction underscores Iraq’s dedication to advancing peace and stability in the region.
The post on Iraqi News highlights the urgency of supporting Gaza’s rebuilding efforts, emphasizing the need for collective action to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
