Abu Ghazala called for the permanent retention of the aforementioned item on the council’s agenda, in addition to pressuring the Israeli occupation to halt the settlement policies, arming the settlers, an all Israeli violations perpetrated against the Islamic and Christian holy places. She stressed the importance of securing the international protection through dispatching international observers and UN committees to the occupied Palestinian territories.
She also called for ramping up pressure on the Israeli occupation to stop all racial and discrimination measures against Palestinians, such as impounding their lands and demolishing homes and property, as well as stealing wealth and natural resources.
