The United Nations Security Council today adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for the month of Ramadan.
This decision calls on all parties to the conflict to respect the ceasefire and achieve permanent sustainable peace. Particular attention is paid to the humanitarian situation, including ensuring access to medical care and other humanitarian needs of the population. The resolution also demands the immediate release of all hostages without any preconditions.
The Security Council stressed the need to strengthen the protection of civilians in the Gaza Strip and expand the flow of humanitarian assistance. This includes removing all barriers to large-scale humanitarian aid deliveries, in accordance with international humanitarian law.
However, it is worth noting that although the resolution addresses all parties to the conflict, including Hamas, the demand addressed to this group has no direct legal meaning, since Hamas is not a member of the UN. Despite this, the resolution is intended to express the serious concern of the international community and emphasize the need to take urgent measures to stop the violence and provide humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Gaza.
It is worth noting that in accordance with the UN Charter, members of the organization undertake to obey and implement the decisions of the Security Council. This demand for a ceasefire and the release of hostages is legally binding on all UN members.
Previously, Kursor reported that Katz and Erdan responded to the UN resolution. The Israeli Foreign Minister said that the country will not cease fire in the Gaza Strip until the Hamas terrorist group is completely destroyed.
