The Palestinian envoy to the UN accused Israel of attempting to impose a military solution to the Gaza crisis by “disappearing a nation”, Anadolu reports.

“Israel has unleashed a full-fledged war against the Palestinian people. Israel is seeking to impose a military solution to the conflict by disappearing a nation,” Riyad Mansour said at a UN Security Council session.

Saying that Israel is employing “genocide” and “apartheid” tactics to achieve its colonial aims, Mansour asserted that Palestinians are suffering “disposition, displacement, devastation, destruction and death” at a scale not seen since the Nakba.
