New York - Brussels: Europe and Arabs
The Belgian media questioned Sabah Al -Yo with statements that came from the former commander of the Israeli Defense Army, according to the New Zubula newspaper in Brookly. Former Israeli Defense Army commander Herzi Halevi confirmed that more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured since the war in Gaza erupted. He stated that during his term, there was no legal advice that was "not one" that limits military decisions.
Halevi resigned in March seventeen months after the leadership of the IDF. He described the argument as "removing gloves", which indicates a difficult and unlicensed military strategy. The war, which has been going on for nearly two years, is still causing significant human and material damage.
In conjunction with this and the permanent headquarters of the United Nations, the annual ceremony for the peace bell was held to revive the International Day of Peace, corresponding to September 21. During the ceremony, Secretary -General Antonio Guterres said that peace is the strongest force for a better future, and that "it is within our reach if we choose."
Guterres added: "This peace bell reminds us that even the smallest contributions can make something that lasts. Even in a ripped world, we can join hands to let peace beats."
The Secretary -General pointed out that the Japanese peace bell was poured from currencies and medals that people donated all over the world.
Guterres warned in his speech that peace today is besieged, conflicts are doubled, and civilians are suffering.
He called for moving to silence guns, promoting diplomacy, protecting civilians, supporting the United Nations Charter, addressing the root causes of the conflict, investing in prevention, dialogue and trust, and supporting peace builders - especially women and youth - who stand at the forefront of hope.
Peace is not just a word
Analina Perbuk, president of the eighties of the United Nations General Assembly, called in her speech to remember that "peace is not just a simple word of five letters (in English). It is our greatest responsibilities towards our children and future generations."
She said that some argue that if the United Nations failed repeatedly in achieving its greatest promises to peace, is it still worthy to preserve its charter, and that view is described as not only sarcastic, but also irresponsible.
She said, "This is not the time of surrender, but rather a time to make more effort," stressing the International Peace Day this year may be more important than ever.
The President of the General Assembly confirmed that they will work hard to achieve peace for all parts of the land, including Gaza and Sudan, and the most forgotten conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Myanmar and Yemen.
