UN General Assembly
2025

A two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians live side by side in peace and mutual recognition remains the only viable path to peace. And if many doubt its feasibility today, if we abandon it, we abandon hope itself. Extremists and spoilers on both sides have long stood in the way of peace. Hamas has no place in the future of Palestine. And when Israeli officials call for annexation or the expulsion of Palestinians, they are not defending Israel's security. They are not defending Israel's security. They are calling for violations of international law. And we call it what it is – hateful, illegal, and a direct obstacle to peace. President, Russia's aggression in Ukraine, Israeli military operations in Gaza, as well as the horrific war in Sudan, are the starkest demonstrations of deeply troubling global trends, growing disregard for international law and multilateral commitments. We are seeing this when it comes to international courts. The opinions of the International Court of Justice, ACJ, and the International Criminal Court have been defied and targeted with punitive measures.
