Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people. It is not up for grabs, and it is not for sale. It is not a land without a people.

And despite all its efforts, Israel will not transform us into a people without a land.

The latest Israeli decisions mean we have reached the end of the road. Now annexation is on full display. Unchallenged, it will define our region's future and doom it. It will also redefine the world we live in.

Whatever the Israeli Foreign Minister will claim today, you all know the truth.

This Israeli government considers us alien to our own land, refuses to recognize our existence as a nation.

It claims to be defending civilization by oppressing us and denying us our fundamental rights.

It might think, why does the world care about the fate of the barbarians? There is something fundamentally racist about this colonial narrative underlying all these illegal policies.

Israel does not want a ceasefire. Its goals remain occupation, annexation, and forcible displacement.

In Gaza now, split in two. And in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Israel has to choose between annexation and peace. Does it choose annexation? We all reject annexation. So how are we going to stop Israel?

The Israeli government is moving fast. It hopes to be done before the world mounts a proper response. It will pretend to give in from time to time tactically and pursue land grabs strategically.

And if not confronted, it will impose its will on all. This is delusional.

Palestinians have been confined in smaller and smaller spaces, but they have not disappeared. Their numbers kept growing.

So now Israel speaks of control from the river to the sea — a space in which there are 7.5 million Palestinians.

What does it intend to do with them exactly? Provide them with equal rights? I doubt it.

Or make their lives impossible through death, devastation, and displacement in the hope they will be convinced there is no life possible in their ancestral land? And will we all watch while it tries?

The Israeli government is seeking an explosion in the West Bank. It is frustrating that it has not yet occurred. In its mind, it would allow it to go all the way.

That is why it is taking these decisions. That is why it is conducting military incursions and allowing and facilitating settlers' violence, forcibly displacing communities, and destroying refugee camps.

That is why it is extremists are invading al-Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount) and why Ben Gvir passed a law to execute Palestinian prisoners and film scenes of humiliation and abuse against them.

That is why Israel is stealing our financial and natural resources.

That is why it is attacking and undermining the Palestinian Authority, a Palestinian Authority committed to peace and to the two-state solution in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions.

Palestine, notably Gaza, is ground zero of the assault on international law. What is accepted there is normalized everywhere.

The two-state solution must not become the two-state illusion. If you believe it is the only way forward, then you must end the occupation and save the Palestinian state to save peace.

After 80 years of Nakba, decades of military and colonial occupation, after the 7th of October and the genocide in Gaza, we must finally make peace.

It was quite amusing to hear the representatives of the Russian Federation speak about the law and international law, about occupation, land expansion, and peaceful resolution.

I must admit I had to restrain myself from laughing out loud.

There are so many powers trying to replace historical truth with modern lies.

The truth is simple: we are the indigenous people in the Land of Israel.

The archaeological findings in our ancient sites, including the City of David, the Western Wall Tunnels, and others, tell the history of our land.

How can Jewish presence in our ancient homeland violate international law? It's a contradiction in terms.

The idea that Jewish communities (settlements) are an obstacle to peace is outrageous. It's disconnected from the current and past reality in Judea and Samaria.

With all due respect, we will not abandon our heritage, security, and future to ease other countries' domestic political difficulties.

Israel signed the Oslo Accords and received a murderous intifada of suicide attacks.

Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. We dismantled our communities, our army bases, and even our cemeteries. We received the world's largest terror state in Gaza and the October 7th massacre.

When will you get it? We will not risk our own existence.

The Palestinian Authority continues to incite against Jews and Israel in textbooks, schools, kindergarten, mosques, and media.

This map from the Palestinian Elementary School in Hebron displays skulls on top of Jewish community, skulls.

What's the message for the children? This is the fate they intend for the Jews. The Palestinian Authority, just like Hamas, is brainwashing the minds of the next generation to hate Jews.

Under the Palestinian Authority, there is a systematic destruction of holy and archaeological sites. The Palestinians use tractors to damage the biblical site of Mount Ebal — you probably know from the Bible.

Systematically destruction. Not a word about it. But this is the history of this land they are destroying.

The condemnations are reserved solely for building intended for Jewish communities (settlements).

How many of you condemned the PA's racist death penalty for anyone who sells real estate to Jews? Do you believe it exists in 2026, death penalty for selling real estate for Jews?

Jordanian law, which applies to what you call the West Bank, forbids the sale of real estate to any non-Arabs, Jews, or non-Jews, Americans, Chinese, or Russians.

How many of you that condemned Israel's cabinet decision last week to cancel it really believe that a racist law like this should exist in 2026?

What choice did we have other than correcting these twisted injustices by establishing equality and transparency in real estate transactions in Judea and Samaria? Is this really annexation?

Our cabinet decision also protects the property rights of Israelis and Palestinians alike.

You invented a so-called state of Palestine as if such a state exists or ever existed.

But the truth is simple: there has simply never been a Palestinian state.

You speak of occupied territories. How can they be taken from an entity that never existed by a nation that was always there?

Muslims around the world are beginning to celebrate Ramadan — I wish them Ramadan Kareem.

We will continue enabling freedom of worship, including on the Temple Mount.

But during Ottoman rule and through the British mandate, Jews were forbidden from entering the Tomb of the Patriarchs in our ancient city of Hebron. Our ancestors were restricted to praying at the seventh step on the outside staircase.

Israel is the only power standing against huge forces of barbarism, terror, and extremism.
