He added during his speech at a Security Council session on the situation in Gaza, : “life in the Gaza Strip must triumph over those who want to destroy it".
The Palestinian Foreign Minister continued: “There is no safe place in Gaza, neither the north nor the south, nor the United Nations headquarters, nor schools, nor hospitals, nor mosques, nor churches... killing is everywhere, and we are at a historical crossroads, we must act, and the Palestinian people are facing an existential threat.”
