0:44
context why um you know the United

1:07
consistent on this issue all along

1:16
the speech of the South African
1:19
Ambassador two things he focused he
1:22
talked about the genocidal campaign that
1:24
Israel has launched he
1:27
also slammed and lashed out
1:31
at the Western countries like the USA
1:33
and the UK for the double standard and
1:35
hypocrisy and the
1:38
silence he
1:40
highlighted how there is a parallel law
1:43
international law being enacted for
1:45
Israel and another important point that
1:48
he made was the intimidation being
1:50
issued to Franchesca albanism you know
1:54
franches Albin I mean amazing lady the
1:57
lady who just came out with the report

recently and who first said that the the
2:03
the the acts the brutal acts that Israel
2:06
is committing in Gaza has now crossed
2:09
the threshold of
2:11
genocide that also featured prominently
2:14
in his speech and he wned the Western
2:15
Nations to stay away to refrain from
2:19
issuing any intimidation to Franchesca
2:21
albanism listen to him thank you Mr

President South Africa wishes to express
2:28
its appreciation to the o
2:30
and the mission of the State of
2:32
Palestine for tabling
2:34
l30 as this is the very first time that
2:37
this counil will take action on an on
2:39
the unprecedented Onslaught taking place
2:41
in
2:42
Gaza our Silence has been truly
2:46
deafening with some displaying double
2:49
standards and the height of
2:51
hypocrisy in just over 180 days at least
2:56
32,9 75 Palestinians have been killed
3:00
including 14,500 children these figures
3:04
however provide only a glimpse of the
3:06
untold human suffering taking place on
3:09
our watch yet while the council has been
3:12
silent the special procedure mechanisms
3:15
that support its work have not been
3:19
bowed South Africa salutes their
3:22
unwavering commitment to amplify the
3:24
voices of the victims despite being
3:26
subjected to uncons conditionable
3:28
threats and abuse
3:30
indeed they warned the council as far
3:33
back as 16 November that the grave
3:35
violations being committed against the
3:37
Palestinian people pointed to a genocide
3:40
in the
3:41
making their efforts are embedded in
3:44
South Africa's papers before the
3:46
icj they informed the determination of
3:49
the Court concerning the plausible risk
3:52
of genocide together with its subsequent
3:55
orders including its most recent order
3:58
which was issued on 28th March in
4:01
response to the significant
4:02
deterioration in the
4:05
situation their
4:07
efforts are also
4:09
embedded in a number of other
4:12
interventions that are taking place
4:14
including the recent decision by the UN
4:16
Security
4:18
Council South Africa views the
4:20
intimidation and harassment of the
4:22
special rorer on the human rights
4:25
situation in the Palestinian
4:27
territory occupied since 19 67 Miss
4:31
Francesca albanes in a serious light and
4:34
calls on those responsible for such to
4:37
desist their unlawful
4:40
actions Mr President the work of the
4:42
special procedure mechanisms will be
4:45
particularly important going forward for
4:47
purposes of the collection and
4:48
preservation of evidence that lies at
4:50
the heart of ensuring accountability and
4:53
Justice which is precisely what L3 seeks
4:56
to achieve it is only through ensuring
4:59
accountability and Justice that we can
5:00
end the impunity that has entrenched the
5:03
ongoing unlawful occupation together
5:05
with its uppdate policies as well as
5:08
discharge our solemn obligation under
5:11
the genocide convention which enjoins us
5:14
to prevent and punish uh those
5:16
responsible for
5:18
genocide it therefore remains crucial
5:20
that we ensure that Israel respects the
5:23
and implements icj orders together with
5:26
UNC resolutions demanding an immediate
5:29
and Lasting ceasefire which l30 will no
5:32
doubt contribute in securing we can no
5:35
longer choose to apply a parallel system
5:37
of international law to Israel nor can
5:40
we be complicit in facilitating its
5:42
actions for international law to be
5:45
credible it must be uniformly applied it
5:48
must serve the victims that it is
5:50
designed to protect rather than those
5:52
with power who treat it with condemned
5:54
South Africa therefore calls on members
5:56
of this Council to bring an end to any
5:59
SEL itivity and double standard and to
6:01
adopt l30 by consensus accordingly we
6:04
wish to Echo the recent statement by the
6:06
High Commissioner in Gaza urging us and
6:09
I quote to avert a new era of power
6:12
politics that cast aside norms and
6:14
institutions so painstakingly built to
6:17
advance them our Universal rights and
6:19
fundamental Humanity depend on reversing
6:23
any such trajectory I thank you you
6:25
would remember we were the one who haded
6:28
that video immedi mediately after
6:30
Franchesca Alban you know came up with
6:32
the report this question was asked to uh
6:35
State Department spokesperson Matt
6:37
Miller and the Matt Miller was very
6:40
quick to dismiss the report by
6:42
questioning her her Integrity what he
6:45
has said was that oh the author of this
6:47
report is anti-mite why because way back
6:51
in December or you know November or
6:54
December she has said that American
6:57
politics is being controlled by Jewish
6:59
Lobby
7:00
so that's
7:02
anti-Semitism this is what he has said
7:04
on two occasions this the first he said
7:07
he was anti and she was anti-semitic
7:09
when he was asked on the a day after he
7:12
had explained why he has said she was
7:15
antisemitic and when it comes to the
7:17
individual who holds that position I
7:20
can't help but note um a history of
7:23
anti-Semitic comments that she has made
7:25
that have been reported she made she
7:26
made anti-semitic comments she has and
7:29
comments she made um in December that
7:32
appeared to ad justify the attacks of
7:33
October 7th so I think it's uh important
7:36
to take that into account but with
7:38
respect to the um uh report itself we
7:41
have made clear that we believe that
7:43
allegations of genocide are unfounded so
7:46
you see one country I mean I mean I have
7:49
fed memories of my time you know spent
7:52
in South Africa for more than a month
7:55
and I like the country then and thank
7:57
goodness they have not disappointed me
7:59
till
8:00
today history will remember South Africa
8:03
very
8:04
kindly God bless you South Africa thank
8:07
you very much for watching this video If
8:09
you haven't subscribed to my video
8:11

8:13
many ways you can support independent
8:15
