New York, December 1, 2024 (LANA) - Libya called for freezing the membership of the Israeli entity in the United Nations and applying Chapter Seven against it in response to the crimes committed by its forces against the Palestinian people.

This came in a statement delivered by the advisor to the Permanent Mission of Libya to the United Nations, "Ashraf Ali Hamed", before the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, according to what the mission published on its official page on Facebook.

The statement stressed the need to take firm measures against the Israeli occupation, including freezing its membership in the United Nations, activating Chapter Seven against it, to protect civilians, and applying international sanctions against those responsible for the crimes committed against the Palestinian people.

The statement condemned the crimes of genocide committed by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the rest of the occupied territories, highlighting the tragic suffering of the Palestinian people as a result of the ongoing aggression, which resulted in the deaths of more than 45,000 martyrs and thousands of wounded and missing, in addition to the complete destruction of infrastructure and large-scale forced displacement.

According to the text of the statement, Libya renewed its steadfast support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate right to resist the occupation, stressing the need to respect international humanitarian law and ensure the provision of protection for civilians.

It also called for an immediate cessation of the Israeli aggression and ensuring the implementation of relevant UN resolutions, in order to achieve justice and restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

The statement praised the efforts made by UNRWA to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian refugees, denouncing the occupation's attempts to obstruct its humanitarian activities within the occupied territories.

The mission's statement stressed the need to establish an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, as a way to achieve just and lasting peace in the region.
