RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Addis Ababa, 05 February 2022. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtayeh speaks during the 35th Ordinary Session of the African Union (AU) Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. STORYLINE: Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh today called on the African Union (AU) to withdraw Israel’s observer status, stressing that accepting it as an observer in the AU will be an unmerited reward for its violations and for the apartheid regime it imposes on the Palestinian people. Addressing the African Union summit meeting in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, Shtayyeh, representing President Mahmoud Abbas, said: “Our faith lies in your alignment with the principles of truth, freedom, peace, and justice. We are confident in your willingness to support the Palestinian people under Israel's prolonged occupation. Israel should never be rewarded for its violations and for the apartheid regime it imposes on the Palestinian people. As an entity, Israel has progressed from a victim complex to paranoia, extremism, militarism and colonial expansion. This must stop.” He added: “Based on your stated historical positions and your support for the Palestinian right, and per relevant decisions of the UN and previous African Union Assemblies, we call for the withdrawal and objection of Israel's observer status at the African Union. We believe that granting Israel observer status in the African Union is an undeserved reward. This is actually a reward that encourages Israel to continue violating international treaties and breaching all agreements with us. With this reward, it gains impunity and unaccountability. I am confident in your inner wisdom and judgment.” Footage by /APAwire
