The United nations General Assembly President Dennis Francis has condemned the indiscriminate attacks by Israel against Palestinians.

In opening remarks to the Assembly’s emergency session on the conflict the President said ceaseless bombardment of the Gaza Strip by Israel and its consequences are deeply alarming.

He noted that the right of self-defense of Israel does not and cannot lawfully give it a license to undertake indiscriminate and disproportionate reprisal.

He said the violence must cease and further bloodshed must be prevented.

He also urged an immediate, unconditional opening of humanitarian assistance and relief corridors.

Meanshile the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations has implored member states to vote to end the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip and to increase aid deliveries to the 2.3 million Palestinians living in the besieged territory.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly session in new York he appeal to all to vote to stop the killing.
