During the discourse, Ambassador Zomlot delved into the current scenario in Gaza and the evolving global and Western outlook toward the Palestinian issue. He underlined the necessity for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one that aligns with international law and UN mandates.
Ihsan Hamarneh, the President of the Orthodox Cultural and Educational Society, began the event with a welcoming speech, followed by Husam Zomlot's address. Moderating the session was Eng. Mahmoud "Mohamed Kheir" Obaid, the President of the American University Alumni Club in Cairo, Jordan.
The discussion concluded with Hamarneh and Lubib Qamhawi, the trustee member of the American University Alumni Club in Cairo, Jordan, extending their gratitude to Ambassador Zomlot.
Zomlot highlighted how the Israeli government has been attempting to mar the Palestinians' image in the Western world, with a continued effort over the years to instigate a negative portrayal. He pointed out, “The Israeli move to categorize Palestinians into three groups, aiming for international immunity in case of their fatalities,” and added, “The remarkable impact of the events on October 7, which stirred global upheaval and showcased Israel's actions, thereby jeopardizing the international system.”
He also emphasized that one of the strategies includes targeting the media to conceal the occupation’s wrongdoings and to prevent the occupation from being globally recognized. He shared anecdotes about the destruction in Gaza, which has not spared any universities, schools, roads, or religious institutions, and the occupation’s intent to commit genocide against the Palestinian population. He called upon the international community to shoulder its responsibility in ending the occupation, safeguarding the human rights of the Palestinians in Gaza, and conducting independent international investigations into the alleged Israeli human rights violations during the wars and attacks on Gaza.
Zomlot concluded with an optimistic outlook, aligning himself with the Arab population in Palestine and the diaspora, expressing confidence in Gaza's restoration and a free Palestine, albeit after some time.
Meanwhile, Hamarneh praised Zomlot for his relentless advocacy for resistance and the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. He noted that Zomlot's boldness surpasses the capability of most nations, given the ongoing global events and their governments' stances. Hamarneh reiterated the society's commitment to mobilize Palestinian and Jordanian public opinion in support of the Palestinian people's rights and aspirations and to resist all forms of normalization.
