NEW YORK: Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, in his speech at the UN Summit for the Future, affirmed his commitment to strengthening the performance of Palestinian institutions, ensuring effective governance, and providing the best services to the Palestinian people.

Mustafa said at the summit, which was held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, that people in Gaza are suffering from one of the darkest chapters in modern history, as the Israeli aggression for nearly a year has caused unprecedented losses, suffering, and a humanitarian catastrophe.

He added, ‘At the same time, our people in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, continue to face systematic threats driven by escalating colonist violence, military raids, restrictions on movement, and a financial blockade to withhold Palestinian tax revenues.’

Mustafa pointed out, “While we strive to play a positive role in responding to global challenges, we unfortunately suffer from the Israeli occupation and its attac
