PRESS CONFERENCE
Gaza's Appeal to Japan and the World
Waleed Siam, Ambassador, The Permanent General Mission of Palestine
14:00-15:00 Tuesday, September 2, 2025
(The speech and Q & A will be in English.)
Gaza's Appeal to Japan and the World
Ambassador Waleed Siam wants Japan and the world to know what is happening in his homeland. In its response to the Hamas attacks of October 2023, Israel has bombed and occupied much of Gaza, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and creating a humanitarian crisis. While Japan doesn't recognize Palestine as a nation, it does afford a level of diplomatic status to the Palestinian National Authority. As the Authority's representative in Tokyo, and a native of Gaza himself, Ambassador Siam wants to appeal to the Japanese and foreign media for an end to the destruction as well as for realizing the people of Gaza's dream to one day be members of an independent Palestinian state. Please join us in welcoming Ambassador Siam.
