00:10For that, let's go live to New York with our colleague Jorge Gestoso for more information coming from the headquarters
00:16of the United Nations. Welcome once more, Jorge.
00:18At this very moment around the United Nations is taking place, again, at this very moment around the US and
00:28the United States building here of the General Assembly of the UN is taking place demonstrations in favor of the
00:39Palestinians' authority and Palestine after the presentation of the president of the Palestinian Authority,
00:47Mahmoud Abbas, this morning via videoconference. It was denied his visa to come in person and deliver his speech. And
00:59in the speech he mentioned, he started by explaining all the difficulties that he had, the double standard, the double
01:08sword that it worked for Israel and against the Palestinian Authority.
01:13And also after that he was putting emphasis in that there is a plan, a deliberate plan, it's not a
01:21casual, a deliberate plan to say to erase the Palestine territories, so talking about Cisjordania and Gaza, in order to
01:31establish the great Israel and denounce all sort of attacks.
01:36Attacks, for example, for example, in the schools, in hospitals, with children, with women, with personnel, even of the UN,
01:47that has been the confirmation that there's been, according to him, a genocide taking place in a deliberate way.
01:55He said they are going to try, and I asked the international community to stop the repetition of what it
02:02has been in 1948, the Nakba, where 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their territory.
02:11And now, according to Mahmoud Abbas, Mahmoud Abbas understand that Palestine is following all the rules, everything of the international
02:22law and international requirements, everything has been violated by Israel, and the implementation of this genocide continues.
02:33Later this morning, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going to be addressing the conference here, the third date of
02:42the general debate, and we wait to see what is going to be his reaction.
02:47We get back to you now.
