Consultations lasted four hours, but the formal agreement did not reach the UN security council after four -hour consultations came to a consensus on the need to terminate military operations in Gaza, where Israel began a ground operation. However, the US delegation has blocked the possibility of adopting a formal statement by the chairman for the press.RIA Novosti reported this by a diplomatic source at the UN. As a result, the result of the Council of People's Commissars was an unprecedented format - the message of the Chairman of the UN Security Council about "coincident positions", which has never happened before. According to the interlocutor of the agency, "the Americans for an inexplicable reason opposed the adoption of the chairman of the press, although consent was reached by the content", including with the participation of the US delegation.
According to reporters, the chairman of the UN Security Council, France Permanent Jean-Moris Riper, the members of the Council of People's Commissars "expressed serious concern to the situation in Gaza and in the south of Israel." He emphasized that among the members of the UN Security Council "there was no formal agreement."
“But in my quality, I note a strong coincidence of opinions among members of the Security Council regarding the expression of concern in connection with the escalation and deterioration of the situation in Gaza and in the south of Israel,” Riper said.
According to him, the opinion of the Council of People's Commissars of the Council of People's Commissars coincides in “calling for immediate complete ceasefire, express a serious concern to the humanitarian situation in gas and declare the need to ensure the supply of humanitarian assistance, call on all parties to protect the civilian population”, as well as express support to international efforts to terminate the crisis and urge all parties to resume peaceful negotiations. ”
The Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States at the UN Alejandro Wolf confirmed that his delegation agrees with all these points, but did not explain why the United States opposed the adoption of the press application.
According to the diplomatic source, the United States may not have wanted the consultations to end any formal result, since the statement of the chairman for the press, although not an official document of the Council of People's Commissars, is published as a UN press release.
On Tuesday, consultations on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should resume, it is expected that they will be attended by the head of the Palestinian National Administration, Mahmoud Abbas.
