Honorable, Rlema, leaders in the community in South Africa,

may Allah bless you all and honor you.

Honorable minister Pandor, may Allah bless you,

elevate you and raise you in the ranks of the heavens.

Everyone say, Amen.

I want to begin by expressing my personal gratitude

on behalf of every Palestinian that watched you

stand up for us.

You have no idea what it meant to see a diplomat,

stand in front of the world with a voice that did not shake, with principles

that were not watered down, to speak to the full rights of the Palestinian people to live with

honor and dignity. May Allah bless you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Jazarikum Allah al-Qaeda.
