Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu emphasized at the UN Security Council, 'Those journalists from Palestine, Lebanon, and Al Jazeera who Israel has killed risk everything. We must ensure we don't return to a world where children perish in silence.' He highlighted the grim reality faced by journalists covering the conflict, noting that their deaths symbolize a larger failure to uphold humanity in the face of violence and censorship. His poignant remarks advocate for the protection of press freedom amid growing hostilities.
Muizzu criticized the destruction of Gaza's media infrastructure, stating, 'Israel's efforts to censor Al Jazeera severely undermine the public's right to information on a war that has upended so many lives in the region.' He pointed out the alarming number of journalists killed since the conflict escalated and called on the international community to recognize the importance of a free press in documenting truth. The closure of news bureaus reflects a dangerous trend in silencing voices critical of conflict.
In a passionate address to the UN, Muizzu declared, 'The architecture of a world order based on justice is now crumbling under the rubble... stained with the blood of those whose existence symbolizes a civilised world order.' He condemned the ongoing violence against civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, contrasting it with the ideals of justice and humanitarianism that the UN is built upon. His statements serve as a clarion call for concerted action against injustices we witness today.
