**Barbados PM Humiliates Israel and US at UN: A Call for Global Reset**
In a historic moment that reverberated through the halls of the United Nations, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley delivered a blistering condemnation of the international community’s failures while firmly recognizing the state of Palestine. Her words, laden with urgency, struck a powerful chord as she called for a “reset” in global relations, emphasizing the dire need for inclusivity and justice.
Mottley’s speech, marked by passionate appeals, began with a declaration of Barbados’ recognition of Palestine, a bold move that she framed as essential for the dignity of all nations. “The state and people of Palestine are entitled to full recognition,” she asserted, calling out the hypocrisy of a world that often excludes marginalized voices. Her condemnation of Hamas’ actions on October 7 was clear, yet she equally denounced the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, attributing it to Israel’s disproportionate use of force.
As applause echoed in the assembly, Mottley urged an end to the “poly crises” plaguing the globe—climate change, economic instability, and rising violence. She painted a stark picture of a world teetering on the brink, where the cost of living soars and nations grapple with the aftermath of wars that drain resources desperately needed for development.
The Prime Minister’s call for a fundamental reset extended beyond mere rhetoric. She demanded that international financial systems be reformed to ensure equitable access for developing nations, particularly small island states like Barbados. “We cannot afford the distraction of war,” she implored, highlighting the urgent need for peace and collaboration.
In a poignant reminder of humanity’s interconnectedness, Mottley invoked the principle of Ubuntu—”I am because you are”—as she urged leaders to come together for a shared future. Her powerful address concluded with a rallying cry for global solidarity, emphasizing that the time for action is now.
As the world watches, Mottley’s words resonate: a clarion call for justice, peace, and a renewed commitment to the principles that underpin the United Nations. The urgency is palpable, and the stakes have never been higher.
