The following is a speech made at a special meeting at the United Nations headquarters in New York marking 40 years of occupation by Israel of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip:

First, let me say that 2007 is the 59th anniversary of the brutal occupation of the Palestinian people.
