The President of the General Assembly delivered a speech at the Trusteeship Council this morning. Ms. Espinosa said:
"I would like to emphasize this point: relevant to all. Our solidarity with the Palestinian people must not be rooted just in sympathy. As worthy as that is, the Palestinian people are entitled to more than that. As we seek to respond to the needs of people everywhere, in order not to leave anyone behind, we owe the Palestinian people an obligation to do everything in our power to end their current nightmare.
As we stand with the Palestinian people on this day, we must use this opportunity to fight the incoming humanitarian desensitization that occurs when suffering and death becomes a daily reality and the media does not even report on them on the back pages.
The state of the Palestinian people remains a scar on our collective conscience and we all have a responsibility to press the urgency of the need for expeditious resolution. I call on world leaders, including religious and other leaders, to make the Palestinian question a priority that deserves utmost attention.
Because it is not enough to say that we stand with people if we do not exercise the political will needed to make the stand count."
