The King: “It is hard for us to understand what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza. We demand that they stop this massacre”
Felipe VI has opened the second day of the UN Assembly with a speech focused on denouncing the “massacre” that the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. “It is hard for us to understand what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza. We demand that they stop this massacre. No more deaths in the name of such a wise and so old people, that it has suffered so much throughout history,” the monarch lamented.
The king has asked the rest of international representatives who do not look elsewhere in the situation of the strip for two years. “We cannot remain silent, or look the other way, given the devastation, the bombings, even of hospitals, schools or places of refuge; before so many deaths between the civilian population; or before the famine and the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people …, with what destiny? They are aberrant acts that are in the antipodes of everything that this forum represents. International community, ”he said. “The international community must assume its responsibility to realize as soon as possible a viable solution that contemplates the existence of the two states,” he added.
