Kampala: United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called on all parties across the international community to recognize Palestine as a state. He was speaking at the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit held in the Ugandan capital Kampala on Saturday.

He said that the position of denying the recognition of the statehood of the Palestinian people is not acceptable and everyone should accept the demand of the Palestinian people for a state of their own.

Guterres said this as the war that started on October 7 continues in the Gaza Strip.

If this war continues like this, the peace of the world will be a threat and the UN will participate in the summit. General Secretary said. The summit strongly condemned Israel’s illegal incursion into the Gaza Strip and called for a permanent ceasefire.

The Non-Aligned Movement called for the state-building and sovereignty of a Palestinian state with East Al-Quds as its capital.

The Non-Aligned Movement is a forum of 120 countries that are not formally aligned with any group.

At the same time, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that those who turn a blind eye to the massacres and atrocities committed by Israel will have to grieve. He said that 25,000 innocent people were killed in Gaza and all those who watched in silence will face the consequences.

“The Western countries and international security institutions, which have done the worst intervention in the Gaza issue, have lost credibility.

All those who speak about human rights and freedom have remained silent since the Israeli attack on October 7. They are enjoying watching Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commit genocide.

Palestine is experiencing the same thing that happened in Iraq, Bosnia, Syria, Yemen, Myanmar, Somalia and Afghanistan. All those responsible for ensuring international security have failed.

“We will continue the fight against terrorism until the terrorism in Syria and Iraq ends completely,” Erdogan said.
