A UN resolution calling for peace in Gaza has been overwhelmingly approved by 158 countries, drawing attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis. However, the decision has sparked sharp criticism from nations like the US and Israel.
A United Nations resolution calling for peace in Gaza has passed with support from 158 countries, drawing international focus to the dire humanitarian situation following the attacks of October 7, 2023. The resolution’s passing, following months of global pressure, aims to address the suffering in the region and calls for immediate action to restore peace.
Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour described Gaza as the “bleeding heart of Palestine,” urging the world to stop the violence and restore life in the region. He called for the restoration of international credibility, emphasizing that peace in Gaza is vital for the prosperity of future generations.
In a similarly stark assessment, Slovenia’s UN Ambassador, Samuel Zbogar, declared that Gaza no longer exists due to the devastation. He highlighted the immense human suffering, with Palestinians facing hunger, despair, and death.
Despite the overwhelming support for the resolution, it faced sharp opposition from the US and Israel. US Deputy UN Ambassador Robert Wood criticized the resolution, arguing it oversimplified the situation and neglected crucial issues, including the release of hostages. He claimed the resolution rewarded Hamas and failed to outline a clear path for increasing humanitarian aid.
Israel’s UN Ambassador, Danny Danon, also expressed concerns, stating that the resolution did not protect humanitarian values. He accused the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) of being infiltrated by Hamas and argued that the resolution inadvertently protected organizations tied to terror.
The UN has strongly rejected these claims, defending UNRWA as a crucial provider of services to millions of Palestinians. The passage of the resolution underscores the continuing challenges in addressing the complex situation in Gaza.
