Mother of the Amir of the State of Qatar, Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, said on Wednesday that Israel continues its attacks on Gaza as usual, disregarding all international law. Emine Erdogan hosted the summit “One Heart for Palestine” with other first spouses from around the world in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul as part of Ankara’s efforts to end the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza. Speaking at the summit, Sheikha Moza emphasized that everyone around the world is “witnessing these crimes,” and the Palestinian people are being “forcibly” displaced. “International humanitarian law is being violated as these people are ruthlessly killed, and their homes are destroyed. This is undoubtedly a complete violation.” Sheikha Moza noted that the international community has been unable to stop this and questioned how long the world will remain indifferent to Israel’s actions. She expressed their commitment to resolving issues through dialogue and emphasized their stand against crimes committed against humanity. She
called for an immediate cease-fire, highlighting that despite the call, it has not been implemented. She stressed the need for increased international pressure, insisting that hospitals and schools should not be targeted in such attacks. She also expressed Qatar’s readiness to provide international support for education in the upcoming period. Scottish First Minister’s wife calls for urgent cease-fire in Gaza at international summit in Trkiye “While powerful men debate the language of diplomacy, children are dying, we need action and a cease-fire (in Gaza), not just words,” said Scottish First Minister Hamza Yusuf’s wife, Nadia El-Nakla, on Wednesday. Speaking at the summit, El-Nakla thanked Emine Erdogan and said: “The sole reason for our gathering here today is for humanity to prevail and to prevent more innocent men, women, and children from dying.” Describing her parents as Palestinian, El-Nakla stated, “My family and I, along with 2.2 million people living in Gaza, have been under blockade for 17 ye
ars; food, water, electricity, fuel – all controlled and restricted by foreign powers.” Brazilian first lady urges cease-fire in Gaza, opening humanitarian aid corridor Brazilian first lady Rosangela da Silva Wednesday urged an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and opening a humanitarian aid corridor. The First Lady sent a video message to the “One Heart for Palestine” meeting of first ladies in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul. Rosangela da Silva said that it is “unacceptable” to be still unable to protect people in the 21st century. “There is an urgent need for a cease-fire and the opening of a humanitarian aid corridor for the entry of medicine and food. What is even more urgent is to end this conflict,” she added. She said, “dialogue must prevail over weapons” and that even war and the right to defense have rules and limits. Noting that they will continue their efforts to build peace, she called everyone for global peace.??????? As the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip entered its 40th day, at least
11,320 Palestinians have been killed, including over 7,800 women and children, and more than 29,200 others have been injured, according to the latest figures from Palestinian authorities. Thousands of buildings, including hospitals, mosques, and churches, have also been damaged or destroyed in Israel’s relentless air and ground attacks on the besieged enclave since last month.
