On this International Day, let us commit ourselves to breathing new life into the peace process so that the goals of statehood for Palestinians, carn be realized before this tragedy takes too many more lives. the international community has also played an important part in this conflict from its very beginnings, and cannot escape its own responsibility to contribute to a solution.
The Palestinian people have the right to enjoy freedom, dignity, and independence in their Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is very important for our region to enjoy security, safety and stability. Peace is our ultimate goal. It is a Palestinian, Arab and international interest. It is within our reach, if there is a political will and there are sincere intentions to achieve it for a better future for all our peoples and for all our children.(AK/RE1/R1)
