"The Palestinian observer to the United Nations sends messages of the Gaza – Ma'an - The Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, Ambassador Dr Riyad Mansour has told the UN General Assembly that the situation in the Palestine Territories is deteriorating.
He also informed them of Israel's consistent breaking of humanitarian law including repeated incursions spreading death and destruction among the citizens. He specifically mentioned Tuesday's incursion into the town of Abassan in Khan Younis, which resulted in 7 deaths, including members of three generations of the same family, 25 people wounded and 100 people being arrested.
He also talked about the harsh conditions that detainees are facing inside Israeli prisons.
Ambassador Mansour described Israel as an "occupying force" that prevents worshipers from accessing places of worship, as happened at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, on August 13, 2007.
He added that the international community and the Palestinian people were looking forward to the international conference in support of the peace process.
The ambassador also said in his report that Israel would continue its illegal acts because it will never be punished."
