Addressing the UNSC, Mansur said “Wake up. Stop imagining that Israel will stop killing thousands of civilians and imposing famine and torture, while you call on them to stop.”He called on the members of the UNSC not to give up their duties and to use the powers they have effectively, “When will Israel be held accountable for its actions? It is time to impose sanctions on Israel, which is responsible for war crimes. When will you implement your decisions and international law? Sanctions must be imposed on these criminals.”he said.
