Zaid also drew attention to the critical role of the United Nations (UN), stating that while the UN was created to resolve international disputes through dialogue and cooperation, it has too often remained silent in the face of conflicts like those in Palestine and Kashmir.
He highlighted the tragic loss of innocent lives in these regions, including those of women and children, due to the failure of the international community to implement long-standing UN resolutions.
The Palestinian ambassador called on the United Nations to act on its pending resolutions related to the Palestine and Kashmir issues, stressing that a peaceful resolution requires both political will and immediate action from the global community.
