US Position on Palestine Becoming Full Member of UN, Hypocritical- Palestinian Envoy
US Position on Palestine Becoming Full Member of UN, Hypocritical- Palestinian Envoy
By: Michael Mike
The Palestine Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdullah Shawesh has lambasted United States for blocking his country’s application for full membership of the United Nations (UN).
Shawesh described the excuse that Palestine full membership of UN will hinder the promoted two states solution as hypocritical.
The envoy who spoke at the weekend, lamented that the action of United States was nothing more than a tacit support to Israel continuous attacks on Gaza.
Shawesh said: “US has vetoed a Palestinian request to the United Nations Security Council for full membership and becoming the 194th member state of the United Nations.
“The US said that the “full membership of Palestine in the United Nations will not help in reaching a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.” Not only did they repeat their unfair position and fully back the Israeli occupation but they also considered the Israeli brutal occupation as just.
“The United States stands strongly against Palestinian legitimate rights.”
He described: “The United States is the iron shield of the Israeli occupation.
“The United States is against the Palestinians’ right to self-determination, which is a basic human right.”
He alleged that: “The United States is the largest sponsor of the Israeli occupation,” stressing that: “The US veto green light to the current Israeli genocide and entrenches the Israeli occupation.”
The envoy added that: “The current carnage and genocide could not have occurred without the full political complicity and unlimited military support of the United States.
“USA took the same Israeli political stand of the Palestinian UN membership.”
Shawesh while revealing that no fewer than 34,183 Palestinian have been killed since the commencement of attacks on 7 October 2023, said 77,143 people wee injured , 8,425 arrested, including 280 women, 540 children, 45 journalists, and 5,210 administrative detentions.
He however explained that the figure of casualty “does not include the Gazans who have been arrested and forcibly hidden.”

By: Zagazola Makama
Security operatives in Kaduna have rescued a former Executive Chairman of Kaura Local Government Area, Seimon Matthias, from a kidnap attempt at his Kagoro residence.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the attack occurred on February 14 at about 11:00 p.m. when an unspecified number of kidnappers stormed Matthias’ residence, shooting sporadically in an attempt to abduct him.
However, the sound of gunfire attracted the attention of police officers and other security operatives stationed nearby, leading to a fierce exchange of fire.
The assailants, overwhelmed by superior firepower, abandoned their victim and fled to the mountains.
Police said the victim was rescued unhurt, and a joint operation involving the Army and Kaduna Vigilante Service (KadVS) was ongoing to flush out the criminals from the surrounding bush areas.
