70多年来，我们目睹各国人民相继获得自由，各国相继获得独立并成为联合国会员国，而巴勒斯坦却仍然是联合国议程上的一个项目。这并不是因为我们的人民未能实现自由和独立；我们的人民仍在致力于自己的自决权，坚定不移地进行反对占领和殖民主义的斗争，尽管经历了一系列悲剧和失望，但从未偏离解放和独立的目标。
For over seven decades, we have witnessed peoples achieving freedom, and States becoming independent and becoming members of the United Nations, one after the other, while Palestine remained on item on the UN agenda. This was not due to our people failing to achieve their freedom and independence, as our people have remained committed to their right to self-determination and have been steadfast in their struggle against occupation and colonialism, never deviating from the goals of liberation and independence despite successive tragedies and disappointments.
