Official PA TV News, on the UN Human Rights Council 49th Session on March 1, 2022
The following refers to American Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s remarks criticizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine –Ed.
PLO Ambassador to the UN Headquarters in Geneva Ibrahim Khreisheh: “It was saddening and even embarrassing to see that American Secretary of State [Antony Blinken], a high-ranking man, spoke about the need to honor international law and human rights and the ban on deliberately harming civilians and public buildings, and he dedicated a section of his speech to attacking the [UN Human Rights Council Agenda] Item 7, which in his opinion places Israel alone as a special case, and did not relate to any of the atrocities against our Palestinian people.”
