Israel carrying out a second Nakba: Palestine at UN

Palestine’s envoy to the United Nations in an event in New York titled “1948-2024: The Ongoing Palestinian Nakba” shows the Israeli takeover of land is continuing but Palestinians are “here to stay”.

"The denial of our existence as a people continues, the denial of our rights continues, the denial of our statehood continues, but at least, Israel, unchecked and unhinged, has confessed to the Nakba it had denied so far,”

Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the UN Palestinian rights committee.

“Its extremist leaders say it unequivocally, they want a second Nakba, thus confessing to the first. A second Nakba that allows them to get rid of the Palestinian people once and for all, finish the job started decades ago.”
