The Palestinian Ambassador to the Embassy of the State of Palestine, Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh, has said that, the peace process and the two state solution will be nailed in the coffin as Isreal intends to extend it's sovereignty over occupied West Bank soon.

Shawesh also disclosed that Isreal is using starvation tactics a as weapon of war in Gaza, particularly in the North Gaza, as according to him only 30 trucks of food are allowed to enter per day. Noting that, the deprivation of food is making it deficult for the people in Gaza to survive.

According to him, using the starvation as method and measure of war on Gaza specially on the North will lead to catastrophic health consequence on the short and long run.

He further revealed that, the people who are still in North Gaza are living under an immobilizing siege, deliberately and continuously bombed, without food, water, and medical supplies. Noting that anyone who tries to flee in search of these necessities is targeted by the Isreali drones and killed.

While he called on Member State to use their leverage to prevent and stop violation of international humanitarian law through diplomatic and economic pressure, responsible arms transfers and Combating impunity,  He also noted that "Now is the time for the Security Council to use it's powers under the UN Charter to ensure compliance with international law and full implementation of it's resolution".

Earlier, the ambassador explained that 405 days of genocide and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the USA-Isreal, 43,603 Palestinians have being killed, 102, 929 injured in Gaza with vast majority being children and women with 188 journalists also been murdered. "These numbers are likely to be a serious understatement, as many of those killed and injured remain under the rubble". Shawesh stated.

He also said in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as of November 9,811 Palestinians were killed, 5,755 injured, and 13,585 permanent and temporary military checkpoints were set up.

The arrest campaign according to him was accompanied by human humiliation, severe beatings, in addition to the vandalism destruction of Palestinian homes and property, and theft of their money and gold. "These figures do not include detainees from Gaza, where some estimates indicate that their number exceeds 5,000 without any information about them. 41 Palestinian detainees were killed as a result of ill-treatment and severe beatings

"In the Negev and Ofer prisons, prisoners face difficult conditions, especially those from Gaza. What makes matters worse is the spread of scabies among prisoners, who are all subjected to brutal torture, insults and medical neglect". He stated
