October 7 became the Trojan Horse that legitimized and justified the televised carnage.


However, many facts are still unknown, and false accusations and lies have been spread. These lies are still being circulated by many biased Western media outlets.


The Million-Dollar question is: what exactly happened? An international investigation committee must be formed by the United Nations to investigate and come out with a final report, and hold accountable all those who committed war crimes before, on, and after October 7.


We, the Palestinians, are fully prepared to cooperate with any investigation committee, fact-finding mission, or inquiry commission. 39,059 days have passed since the issuing of the despicable and ominous Balfour Declaration, 28,075 days since the UN PARTITION PLAN OF PALESTINE, 27,907 days since Al Nakba, and 57 years of brutal Israeli occupation.

In a recent media briefing in Abuja, Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh, Ambassador of the State of Palestine, called attention to the ongoing suffering of Palestinians. 


He emphasized the need for truth and accountability, expressing Palestine's willingness to cooperate with any credible investigative body or commission.


During the 369 days of the latest USA-backed Israeli ongoing genocide, here are some figures:
16,927 children have been killed, burned and dismembered, while another 17,000 have become orphans. Additionally, 11,487 women have lost their lives, and another 60,000 are in critical condition due to the lack of healthcare. Furthermore, 155,000 are facing multiple challenges in accessing essential healthcare before and after childbirth.


96% of Gazans are facing a high level of malnutrition, including 49,300 pregnant women. 36 children have died due to severe malnutrition and dehydration. 65% of the roads network has been destroyed. 31 university buildings have been completely destroyed, while 55 others have been partially destroyed, leaving 88,000 college students and 5,000 professors unable to access their universities.


The Ambassador said, the relentless USA-backed Israeli bombardments have claimed the lives of 10,449 school students, 613 university students, 419 school teachers and staff, and 111 university professors and staff.


Additionally, 16,250 school students were injured and 625,000 students have been denied the right to education. In the Occupied West Bank 11,100 Palestinians are detained, with 40 killed due to severe torture and healthcare negligence.


Feathermore he said, among those detained are 740 children, 420 women and 9,000 administrative detainees.Citing the National Campaign to Recover the Bodies of the Martyrs, the Israeli occupation has abducted and detained nearly 1500 unidentified Palestinian bodies from Gaza since October 7 in refrigerated containers.


This includes 582 bodies before October 7, including 56 children and 49 prisoners who died in Israeli prisons, alongside 256 Martyrs buried in the “Cemeteries of Number” since 1967.174 Palestinian media correspondents were killed and 190 were injured, with 87 media outlets destroyed.


He said, the Israel are using all means and measures to stifle the truth and the voice of reality on the ground.


The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs reported that 238 of its employees and preachers were martyred, 19 others arrested, 814 mosques completely destroyed, while 148 were partially destroyed. Additionally, 3 churches were completely destroyed, 8 cemeteries were completely destroyed, and 11 partially destroyed.


He said, 148 graves were dug up, and thousands of bodies were stolen. Last Thursday “October 3rd”, American warplanes carrying American air-to-ground missiles, with the joystick in the stained hands of the Israeli war pilots raided a café in the Tulkarm Palestinian refugee camp, killing, dismembering and burning 18 people among the occupants.
