Cease-fire will not solve crisis in Palestine

Ceasefire in Gaza might make the Palestinians able to sleep tight at night but it is not going to solve the problem of the Arabian nation.

The problems of Palestine are still the same as before. Despite having not to worry about getting bombed, they still can not breathe in peace.

A Palestinian envoy Riyad Al-Malki told reporters on the sidelines of an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly on the conflict between Israel and Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers that while a ceasefire is good it doesn’t address “the core issue” that started the violence.

“Today’s events here in the General Assembly and what has been happening has refocused the attention again on the issue of Palestine,” Al-Malki said.

He said Israel’s normalization of relations with some Arab countries including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, doesn’t waive the questions of the future of Jerusalem and a Palestinian state.

“To the contrary, we see today that the issue of Palestine and the Palestinian question, the issue of Jerusalem and the occupation of Jerusalem, is the most important issue for all Muslims and Arabs and the world alike,” Al-Malki said.

“We want to see the Palestinian people free and also living in their own independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital,” he said.
