The UN Security Council passed a resolution in support of US proposals for a ceasefire in Gaza.
14 votes were cast in favor of the resolution in the Security Council, while Russia was absent from the proceedings.
According to the resolution, the two warring parties will negotiate and the ceasefire will continue during this time, the US ambassador demanded that Hamas also approve this resolution.
The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations described the resolution as a positive step in the right direction. Ready to cooperate.
However, Russia expressed reservations over the resolution, with the Russian ambassador saying that the US so-called agreement does not contain any clarification about a complete ceasefire.
It should be noted that on June 1, US President Joe Biden presented a comprehensive cease-fire plan by Israel to end the ongoing war in Gaza, and demanded that Hamas accept it and said that it is time to end the war. And we cannot miss this opportunity.
According to news agencies AFP and Reuters, the US president presented Israel’s plan for a cease-fire in Gaza, saying that in exchange for a cease-fire, Hamas should release all prisoners and this is the best way to end the conflict.
He said that after the ceasefire, the aid will be distributed efficiently and safely to those who need it.
While speaking at the White House, Joe Biden described the full details of the proposed agreement, saying that there should be a complete ceasefire in Gaza, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, and the release of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. In return, all hostages held by Hamas should be released.
He mentioned the steps he took to protect Israel as an American president, saying that as a person who has been committed to Israel his whole life, the only president to visit Israel during the war and after the attack by Iran. As someone who sent US forces directly to defend Israel, I ask you to take a step back and think what if this moment is lost, we cannot lose this moment.
