NEW YORK — In an emergency session held on Monday night, the
United Arab Emirates initiated a vote on a draft resolution presented by ten
elected members of the
United Nations Security Council. This resolution called
for a ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. In his address to
the UNSC,
Ambassador Mahmoud Daifallah Hmoud, the Jordanian Permanent
Representative to the UN, speaking on behalf of the Arab group, expressed his
astonishment at the audacious claim made by Israel, an occupying state,
portraying itself as a victim. He emphasized that the ongoing Israeli conflict
in Gaza and the resulting humanitarian crisis undoubtedly signal the potential
for its expansion and proliferation throughout the region.

He went on to assert in his speech that Israel would persist
in its deadly actions as long as there are those willing to justify its crimes,
while also condemning the silence of the
UNSC in the face of Israel's
aggression against the Gaza Strip, Al Mamlaka TV reported.
He posed a question to the assembly: "Is it not high
time for the Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities, respecting the
principles and objectives enshrined in the
United Nations Charter, and to work
toward putting an end to this war and aggression?"
He called upon the international community to exert
concerted efforts to pressure Israel into ending its delays in permitting
urgent aid to flow in, ensuring that adequate quantities reach the Gaza Strip
to address its deteriorating humanitarian situation.
