The Campaign said on Thursday in a press statement that the occupation authorities were still holding the bodies of three Palestinians gunned down on the dawn of Tuesday in Jenin, bringing the total number of the bodies of slain Palestinians withheld in cemeteries of numbers and refrigerators to 676.
It added that among the total number of bodies, there were the bodies of 71 detainees, 60 children, and nine women.
The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People must be more than just a rhetorical occasion. It is a cry in the face of the occupation and a reminder to the world that the Palestinian cause remains a human struggle for justice and freedom. Venezuela has demonstrated that true solidarity is a stance and action, not just words that are forgotten when the occasion is over.
It is a call to countries and movements that believe in freedom and justice to stand with Palestine, just as Palestine always stands with all those who struggle against occupation and colonialism.
China firmly supports Palestine in becoming a full UN member and supports the convening of a more broad-based, more authoritative and more effective international peace conference, Xi added.
Xi said that China will continue to work with the international community to end the war and stop the killing, support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in continuing to provide humanitarian assistance to the Gaza people, and bring the question of Palestine back to the right track of the two-State solution to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement at an early date.
Khan reiterated that “the law is for everyone,” stressing that the ICC’s role is to protect the rights of all individuals. He noted that the independent decision of the judges affirmed the importance of upholding international humanitarian law through fair and impartial judicial processes.
“These requests were made after an independent investigation, based on verifiable and objective evidence, thoroughly examined in a judicial process,” Khan stated.
He continued, “I call on all states parties to the Rome Statute to fulfill their obligations by respecting and complying with these judicial orders. We also look forward to the cooperation of non-party states in advancing accountability and supporting international law.”
The ICC Prosecutor also confirmed that his office continues its “independent and impartial investigations into the situation in the State of Palestine,” with a focus on areas under ICC jurisdiction, including Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
The envoy urged the Security Council to unequivocally request an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza. “Israel should also let go of its obsession with the use of force and stop violations against other countries, including Lebanon, Syria, and Iran,” he said.
Moreover, Fu appealed for increased humanitarian assistance in Gaza and urged Israel to fulfill its obligations under international humanitarian law to ensure the orderly distribution of supplies throughout Gaza.
In his remarks, Fu also stressed the two-state solution must be revitalized, which is the only viable way out for the Palestinian question and requires the guarantee of the international community more than ever.
On Dec. 30, 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution requesting the ICJ to provide an advisory opinion regarding the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem.
In February 2024, the ICJ held public hearings at which Palestine, 49 UN member states, and three international organizations presented oral statements regarding the issue.
At the hearings, Palestine’s UN envoy Riyad Mansour urged the ICJ to declare Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories illegal, emphasizing that such a ruling would pave the way for an immediate end to the occupation and the establishment of a “just and lasting peace.”
Without participating in the hearings, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement rejecting the legitimacy of the hearings, accusing them of attempting to further undermine Israel’s right to survival and self-defense.
