00:00United States of America, USA Vice President and the Presidential Candidate of Democrat
00:05Party in the forthcoming U.S. elections, Kamala Harris has said that the Government of America
00:11is working to end the war in Gaza in such a way that the State of Israel is secured and the people
00:16of Palestine realize their rights to self-determination, dignity and security. Kamala
00:21Harris stated this on Thursday night during her acceptance speech as the Democrat Presidential
00:26Candidate at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. According to Harris, the suffering
00:32of people in Gaza as a result of the 10-month-old war is heartbreaking. Adding, many innocent lives
00:39have been lost. She said the U.S. President Joe Biden and her are working to end the sufferings
00:44in Gaza by ensuring there is an end to the war. She said the war would be ended in such a way
00:50that Israel is secured or hostages released and incidents of October 7, 2023 is not repeated again.
00:57Also saying, the war would be ended in such a way that Palestinian people would be able
01:02to realize their rights to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination. I will always
01:08stand up for Israel's right to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again
01:13face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7. At the same
01:19time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives
01:25lost, she said, adding that she and Biden are working around the clock for a hostage and ceasefire deal.
01:32Biden also at the convention said the pro-Palestine protesters have a point after
01:37thousands had rallied outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago demanding an
01:42end to the war on Gaza. He said he would ensure there is an end to the war and peace in the Middle East.
01:48Meanwhile, the Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has
01:53risen to 40,265 according to Gaza-based health authorities who issued a statement on Thursday.
02:01At the United Nations Security Council meeting, the Chinese envoy on Thursday issued a remark
02:06urging Israel to immediately cease all military operations in the Gaza Strip as more than 10
02:12months of blockade, siege, bombing, and attacks in Gaza have reportedly killed more than 40,000
02:18people and displaced 1.9 million residents in the country. Forcon, China's permanent representative
02:24to the United Nations, UN said some 80 percent of homes in Gaza have been destroyed and 85 percent
02:31of the area is under emergency evacuation orders imposed by the Israeli military. Adding, such a
02:38tragedy cannot go on any longer. The China ambassador said that while the international
02:43community has repeatedly sent care calls for a ceasefire and an end to the fighting, Israel has
02:48turned a deaf ear to them and has not shown any sign of a ceasefire. He noted that more than two
02:54months after the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2735, the Israeli military operations
03:01in Gaza continued, causing new casualties every day. He warned that repeated provocative and
03:07adventurous actions by the Israeli side have intensified the risk of conflict spillovers,
03:12and the Middle East is harming by a thread. Forcon that claimed faith in achieving a total
03:18victory in Gaza will only result in more innocent civilian casualties and will not create the
03:23conditions for the release of hostages, nor will it bring peace or tranquility to Israel and the
03:28region. Ceasefire negotiations and a political solution are the fundamental way out, he said.
03:35The ambassador urged Israel to fulfill its obligations under international humanitarian
03:40law by opening all border crossings, guaranteeing rapid and safe access to humanitarian supplies at
03:46scale, ceasing restrictions and attacks on the UN and humanitarian agencies, and providing
03:52support and cooperation for the polio vaccination program in Gaza. I will always stand up for
03:59Israel's right to defend itself. At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past
04:0710 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety
04:20over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking. President Biden and I are working
04:29to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza
04:37ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom,
04:45and self-determination.
