Today, at a meeting of the UN Security Council, a decision was made to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. This decision was made unanimously.
An interesting point was that the United States did not use its veto power and did not prevent the adoption of this resolution. However, it should be noted that on another Russian ceasefire resolution, without the release of hostages, the United States used its veto power. Russia’s UN representative said the country would vote in support of any resolution that included a permanent ceasefire in the region.
It is worth noting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously said that if the United States does not use its veto power to block today’s UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire without the release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists, he will cancel the delegation’s visit to Washington.
National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi and Secretary of Strategic Planning Ron Dermer are about to travel to the United States on an important mission. Their trip is timed to discuss American proposals to expand humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip and alternative plans that could supposedly replace large ground operations in Rafah.
The initiative was planned at the request of US President Joe Biden after his first conversation in a month with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Earlier, Kursor reported that the UN Security Council will consider a new resolution on the war in the Gaza Strip. The UN Security Council resolution reflects a toughening of Washington’s position towards Israel.
