He stressed the need to respect international law, calling for the accountability of countries that violate international covenants, and to a unified international position that restores the balance of the world order.
In the context of his talk about international issues, His Excellency singled out the tragedy of the Gaza Strip with great interest, and considered the siege, killing and destruction of the Palestinian people to “a clear violation of all international customs and covenants,” stressing the importance of implementing the relevant United Nations resolutions, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
His Excellency concluded his speech by emphasizing that peace and tolerance are no longer an option but rather a necessity, saying: “Hate does not build a homeland, does not achieve security, does not make a sustainable economy, and that peace is not a luxury, but rather a basic condition for any real prosperity.”
He called on the international community to transform the discourse of tolerance into realistic policies and institutional practices in order to build a more stable and human future.
