Official statement from the General Delegation of Palestine welcoming the advancements in the positions of Australia and Aotearoa NZ and calling for urgent, concrete action: "The situation in Gaza is unbearable and necessitates immediate action to halt Israel’s ongoing brutality and grave violations of international law."

Official statement from the General Delegation of Palestine welcoming the joint donor statement of over 20 countries, including Australia and Aotearoa NZ, and calling for urgent, concrete action: "Words and condemnations are not enough at this critical and intolerable stage."

Official statement from the General Delegation of Palestine marking 77 years of continuous Nakba (Catastrophe) "The Nakba is more than a historical event: it is an ongoing crime, committed with the intent to erase the Palestinian people and prevent the realisation of their right to self-determination in their homeland."

“Israel continues to inflict unimaginable suffering on the people living under its occupation, whilst rapidly expanding confiscation of land as part of its wider colonial aspirations. What we are witnessing could very well be another Nakba”, UN Special Committee warns: “It is hard to imagine a world in which a government would implement such depraved policies to starve a population to death, whilst trucks of food are sitting only a few kilometres away. Yet, this is the sick reality for those in Gaza.”

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa has declared Gaza is officially a famine zone, holding Israel fully responsible. All UN Member States are urged to fulfill their legal obligations and act urgently: “Do not let the besieged children of Gaza starve to death,” he warns, demanding urgent action in the face of global silence.
