Namibia addressed the United Nations Security Council on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine, stating that it cannot accept a world order where some people's freedom is conditional and others' suffering is normalised.

Namibia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Penda Naanda, said, "The situation in the Middle East is further compounded by the senseless attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel and the genocidal bombings on Lebanon by Israel, further exacerbating tensions, creating instability, and making it more challenging to achieve lasting peace in the region."

Ambassador Naanda pointed out that "Namibia’s own experience under apartheid and illegal occupation obliges it to speak clearly against oppression wherever it persists." He added that the right to self-determination, freedom, and sovereignty is universal and indivisible.

"Namibia urges an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities and a renewed commitment to diplomatic dialogue aimed at advancing stability and justice across the region, including for the people of Palestine."

Ambassador Naanda said Namibia, therefore, urges the Security Council to uphold its Charter responsibility to ensure peace based on justice, equality, and the rule of law and to allow the people of Palestine to finally live free and fully independent.
