Palestine Stands Firmly Behind Zimbabwe’s Bid for UNSC Seat
In a show of solidarity, Palestine has extended its support to Zimbabwe’s aspiration for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). This endorsement comes as a boost to Harare’s campaign, which has already garnered attention from several influential nations and organizations, including Japan, China, Russia, India, Cuba, Venezuela, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the African Union.
The campaign, kicked off in Harare by President Emmerson Mnangagwa a couple of weeks ago, has been positioned under the theme “Advancing 21st Century Solutions for Global Peace and Security through Multilateralism.” As the elections for the coveted UNSC seat loom on the horizon, scheduled for June next year, Zimbabwe is rallying support to strengthen its candidacy.
In an enlightening interview, Palestinian Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Dr. Tamer Almassri, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, “Palestine supports Zimbabwe wholeheartedly, particularly against the backdrop of illegal sanctions.” Ambassador Almassri articulated that Zimbabwe’s potential representation on the UNSC is not just for its own people but resonates with the aspirations of the oppressed globally, especially across the African continent.
Highlighting the mutual support between Zimbabwe and Palestine, the ambassador noted that the bond has only grown stronger under the Second Republic. “We appreciate the unwavering support from President Mnangagwa, who has been a staunch ally of Palestine for years. His prompt action during the recent humanitarian crisis in Gaza showcased his commitment,” Almassri remarked. This gesture of goodwill has not gone unnoticed and underscores the shared values between the two nations.
With more than 81% of United Nations member states recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state, the support from Zimbabwe is a significant diplomatic step forward for the Palestinian cause. The alliance between these two nations is a heartening aspect of international relations, illustrating how countries can work together towards common goals, transcending borders and conflicts.
As Zimbabwe embarks on this journey to gain a seat on the UNSC, the collaboration with Palestine serves as a powerful reminder that unity and support among nations can pave the way for a more equitable and peaceful world. This emerging partnership not only strengthens Zimbabwe’s position but also emphasizes the importance of multilateralism in addressing global challenges.
Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding story as Zimbabwe strives to bring forth its vision for a secure and peaceful future on the global stage.
