The visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Saudi Arabia immediately before the Group of Seven (G7) summit was not without substance. The top Muslim leader, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman took a wise step to decline attendance of G7 Summit due to due to Hajj responsibilities as well as foresight about out come of the summit. The bold stance by Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Egypt and many other nations are eye opener for the rest of world. Ever since the declaration of 26 July 2024 as day of Independence of Palestine, the Afro-Asian countries including many other countries of other regions have joined hands for the first time to act as solid rock for right of self-determination of the people of Palestine to attain independence. Under the leadership of Saudi Arabia and other leaders, countries have started announcing recognition of Palestine with its capital as Jerusalem as independent and sovereign state with full membership of United Nations Organization. Multilateral and bilateral agreements are likely to be inked very soon followed by a “Grand Joint Declaration” to support and implement United Nations Security Council Resolutions and measures announced by International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) to safeguard Palestinian’s future. The constitutional framework and other modalities will also be worked out side by side.

In another development, member countries of G7, gathered in Italy from 13 to 15 June 2024, to reaffirm unity and determination to meet global challenges from multiple interconnected crises. Interestingly, the members spoke supporting universal human rights, social progress, and respect for multilateralism and the rule of law but their open support to the genocide of orthodox Palestinians and war crimes in Gaza was nothing but a mockery to show the cosmetic face through beautifully crafted words. Funding, arming and supporting individuals, entities and illegitimate government labeled by the International justice system as involved in the genocide of Palestinians and war crimes and defying arrest warrant accounts to equally party to genocide and war crime. No doubt, criticism and flat refusal to honour the orders and measures of ICC and ICJ speaks of criminal mindset has send negative message to other nations to follow the same path of state sponsored terrorism. One wonders that US-Ukraine Bilateral Security Agreement has been signed during G7 Summit, whereas Article 5 of NATO treaty provides that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all. Is it not hypocrisy that US instead of sending her combats to Ukraine to fight the Russian is arming and funding Ukrainian to fight and dies while other NATO member silently watch Ukrainians get killed. How long we allow this to happen?

The final G7 Leaders’ Communique was noting more than a planned plot to target Muslims of Middle East and Eastern Europe through genocide and war crimes. It includes some factions of Jews too. Since the Western and Israeli plot has been exposed to deprive Muslims of Palestine state, which has announced its independence as sovereign state with effect from 26 July 2024, and Muslims of Eastern Europe to deprive them from Crimea, Sea of Avoz and Black Sea. It also aimed at to bring negative demographic change through genocide and mass migration thus reducing majority of all the border areas of Ukraine to minority plus to allow new settlements to fill the gaps. It is high time to empower UNO and its bodies to save the world from further disaster and chaos. Everyone is hopeful that on the “D” Day the independence of Palestine State will be secured which will be followed by the resolutions of other pending issues to bring peace around the world and save our future generations.
