Brunei's Foreign Minister, Prince Abdul Mateen, told the United Nations that lasting peace in the Middle East is not possible without justice for Palestinians, warning that the situation in Gaza "cannot become normal."
He called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, reiterating a position long held by many countries in the international community.
The foreign minister framed the Palestinian issue as a test of the credibility of multilateral institutions, suggesting that the international system's response to the conflict carries broader implications for how such bodies are perceived.
Brunei's remarks were part of a wider set of statements from UN member states during the General Assembly session addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The comments add to a chorus of countries that have used the UN platform this session to call for a renewed push toward a negotiated resolution to the conflict.
