Palestinian ambassador to the UN, Riyad Mansour, said Israel is seeking to take control of the Gaza Strip, prolong the war and prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. “Israel does not care about the fate of the hostages [in Gaza] and its latest decision [to seize Gaza city] is a blatant proof of this,” Mr Mansour said at a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation. He also condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks on achieving the ‘Greater Israel’ vision.
