Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Kingdom, said on Monday evening that he lost six members of his family in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli bombing of the area.
“For 100 years, we have been treated as lesser human beings. We are not the children of a lesser God,” Zumlot told an audience during a conference for the Labour Party.
“Our right to self-determination has to be respected. Our state, independence and sovereignty has to be respected.”
