During a landmark hearing at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and enforcing apartheid against Palestinians. Al-Maliki represented 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children, underscoring their suffering under siege conditions, including being bombed, killed, maimed, starved, and displaced. He also spoke for more than 3.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank, emphasizing the denial and violation of their inalienable rights to self-determination for over a century, stating, "Palestine was not a land without a people." Al-Maliki's testimony included an emotional appeal about the ineffectiveness of international law in protecting Palestinian children and their families in Gaza today, saying, "It is incredibly difficult to be Palestinian today." The Palestinian envoy to the UN, Riyad Mansour, echoed this sentiment, calling for accountability and justice as prerequisites for peace. The hearing also featured the presentation of five maps of Palestine, underscoring the historical and ongoing challenges faced by the Palestinian people.
