Ministry of Foreign Affairs Demands UN Security Council Enforce Immediate Ceasefire and Visit Gaza
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates urgently calls on the United Nations Security Council to uphold its legal and moral responsibilities by enforcing an immediate ceasefire and halting the ongoing genocide, forced displacement, and illegal annexation targeting the Palestinian people. The Ministry further urges the Council to adopt and implement the resolutions and outcomes of the recent UN conference on resolving the Palestinian question, with a clear commitment to the two-state solution as the foundation for a just and lasting peace.
The Ministry expresses deep concern over the continued obstruction of the Security Council’s role in protecting over two million Palestinians in Gaza, trapped in ongoing genocide, facing mass killing, starvation, and the denial of basic human rights.
The Ministry believes a visit by the Security Council to the Gaza Strip is of vital importance. It would help break the Israeli imposed siege and media blackout, allowing members to see firsthand the humanitarian catastrophe and widespread destruction. Continued delays in ending the war only serve to further plans of forced displacement against our people.
