The Secretary of the PLO´s executive committee, Dr. Saeb Erekat, called on the United Nations to include Israel as a "state that violates children´s rights" in the UN Annual Report on children and armed conflict as one of the tools available to the United Nations and evidence-based To target Israel for Palestinian children in addition to the report submitted by the Secretary-General on this issue on 14 August 2018.

On the targeting of innocent Palestinian children by Israel, the occupying Power, by assassination and direct sniping.
"As you know from the many reports you receive from the United Nations agencies operating in occupied Palestine or through our bilateral channels, it is clear that Israel, the occupying Power, continues its grave violations of its obligations under the Geneva Convention," he said at the beginning of his message. Fourth, as in many other treaties, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. "
"Last Friday, 28 September 2018, the Israeli occupation army snipers assassinated a 12-year-old child, Abdel Nasser Musbah, who was shot in the chest while they were hundreds of meters away from the Israeli occupying forces deployed in and around the Gaza Strip. And his colleague, Mohammed Nayef al-Hhar, 14, was the last Palestinian child killed by the Israeli army, but not the last to be the victims of military occupation.
"Among the six serious violations developed by the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict as endorsed by the Security Council, Israel has systematically practised many of them, including murder, kidnapping, attacks on schools and hospitals, as well as preventing Humanitarian access. Israel continues to deprive Palestinian children of their childhood as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and its flagrant violations and disrespect for United Nations resolutions, international law and international treaties are a fact known to your office.
Despite the fact that Israel´s own membership in the Organization, through United Nations General Assembly resolution 273, was conditional on Israel´s commitment to respect the Charter of the United Nations and the implementation of its resolutions, including General Assembly resolutions 181 and 194, the culture of impunity in Israel allowed it To continue to violate its obligations for more than 70 years
"The attacks organized by the settlers and the humiliation of the occupying forces are a daily reality for our children, in addition to the fact that there are some 350 Palestinian children still languishing in Israeli jails, none of whom are treated according to any criteria, many of whom have been subjected to torture. Israel is the only state in the world to detain Palestinian children up to the age of 12 years, apart from denying them the right to education, health and a dignified life. The list of Israeli violations of Palestinian children´s rights is long, comprehensive and well documented, and Israeli officials are working hard to deprive the children of Palestine of their humanity "
"This is related to the efforts of the Israeli diplomats who campaigned against the reign of al-Tamimi--who were arrested eight months in the Israeli occupation jails after being tried before a military court--during her visit to Spain. To launch comments
The statements are labelled as "terrorist" by the spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of the occupation and its embassy in Spain, and the launch of the minister of "Justice " in the occupation government elite on the social networking site "Facebook " describing Palestinian children as "small snakes " or the statements of Minister Shamsure Israeli occupation security officials Avigdor Lieberman said that "there are no innocent people in Gaza", all in the framework of the policy of systematic incitement by the Israeli official level against Palestinian children and the slaughter of them. "
"While we understand that there are tools that require a decision by States to enforce United Nations resolutions, this dangerous situation does not allow for illegal pressure and collusion, as the continuation of such behaviour will prevent the necessary and necessary measures to be taken to protect the Palestinian people, especially children," he said.
He concluded: "It is absolutely unacceptable for the Palestinian people not to use all the tools at their disposal to protect the Palestinians who live under the illegal colonial occupation based on the unprecedented culture of impunity. "The occupying Power must recognize the consequences of its crimes and flagrant breaches of international law, and we expect the United Nations to carry out its responsibility to protect the Palestinian people, especially children."
