Al-Anbat - Raghad Saad

The Chairman of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, Cheikh Niang, said on the occasion of the United Nations commemoration of the Palestinian Nakba, that the goal of the occasion is to highlight that the noble goals of justice and peace, which the international community has long sought, require recognition of the reality and history of the plight of the Palestinian people and  the guarantee the realization of their inalienable rights. 

Niang said, "The Nakba and the suffering of generations of Palestinians is a story that is rarely taught in history books and is often absent and forgotten. 

Today, the resilience of the Palestinians must be recognized throughout their history, especially since 1948." 

Niang reaffirmed that a just and lasting peace will be achieved through a just solution to the question of the Palestinian cause in all its aspects.” 

 

This can happen by putting an end to the injustice of the Nakba, and the fulfillment of the two-state solution, which ends the Israeli occupation that began in 1967, and achieves the long-awaited right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, destiny, independence, and a just solution to the plight of Palestine refugees. 

He said the committee would continue its solidarity with the Palestinian people and work tirelessly to exercise its authority, in cooperation with all international partners, to make these noble goals a reality.
