01:35turn of the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we're talking about Mr.

01:42Ralph Gonsalves.

01:43And it was very interesting, his words, because he mentioned about the ghost of the Monroe

01:51Doctrine saying that it's still alive and kicking in Latin America and violating some

01:58international rights with the implantation of sanctions to different countries, including

02:05of course Venezuela and Cuba.

02:08Also he mentions that it's unacceptable at all the situation of the genocide against

02:15the Palestinian people and the disparities going on in the world throughout the banking

02:23system, the financial system.

02:25But very interesting that he put emphasis that that doctrine of James Monroe, we're

02:31talking about a former president of the United States that 200 years ago said that America

02:38was for the Americans, meaning for the United States, and from then on many, many incidents

02:47we have lived in our region.

02:49Was very interesting security in the morning when the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin

02:58Netanyahu, was doing his speech.

03:00The highlight of his speech was not what he said, was that at the very moment that he

03:07stands next to the podium, most of the delegations, a lot of delegations, standed up and left

03:16the room.

03:17It was a very clear sign, was very representative of what's going on since the beginning of

03:23this General Assembly.

03:25The applause, the applauding that we've seen and witnessed and heard when the Palestinian

03:33delegation took over, and the repudiation, the general repudiation of the international

03:39community against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

03:43Earlier in the morning also the members of the group of the Friends in Defense of the

03:53Charter of the United Nations met.

03:56There were about 18 members of that group, and also they put emphasis that the very beginning

04:07there was presided by the foreign minister of Venezuela, Ivan Hill, who said that the

04:16case of the genocide in Gaza was the confirmation of the lack of strength for the strengthening

04:26that it doesn't have the United Nations, that they don't have the force, the strength

04:32to stop the genocide.
