The UN Security Council called for the cessation of fire in gas

The UN Security Council called for the immediate and unconditional end of fire in Gaza, the BBC reports . This requirement is contained in a statement by the Chairman of the Council on the situation in the region. At the same time, the fate of the project initiated by the Jordan of the resolution remains unclear.

The statement "expresses concern to the deterioration of the situation as a result of a crisis associated with the gas sector, as well as the death of the civilian population and losses." At the same time, members of the UN Security Council agreed not to mention Israel or Hamas in the text.

The Permanent Representative of Israel at the UN Ron Prochor expressed dissatisfaction with this document. “We just heard the statement of the chairman, in which the Security Council miraculously managed not to mention Hamas or Israel’s right to protect his citizens,” he said. “It will be quiet in Israel, it would be quiet in Gaza.”

The permanent observer of Palestine at the UN Riyad Mansur also expressed disappointment with the inability of the UN Security Council to take the adoption of a resolution to stop the crisis in the gas sector. "We will continue to knock on the door of the Security Council so that the UN Security Council shows its responsibility. We are not acceptable for the security council to hesitate and act as if it were a minor issue," Mansur said. At the same time, he expressed the hope that the truce with Israel would last.

On Saturday, the Israeli government and the Palestinian movement of Hamas agreed on a 12-hour ceasefire in the Gaza sector . A truce began to act at 8:00 local time (9:00 Moscow time). In the evening, Israel extended the truce for another four hours.

The Hamas movement first refused to renew the truce. Israel resumed a ground operation. However, on Sunday, representatives of the movement said that they agree to a 24-hour "humanitarian" truce with Israel from 15:00.

The Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said that they first announced a truce in Hamas, and immediately after that they violated his conditions. 11 missiles were launched from Gaza. “In these conditions, Israel will do everything to protect his people,” he said.

The operation "Inexhaustible rock" began on July 8 after the more frequent shelling of Israeli cities from the Gaza sector. On July 17, the Israeli authorities decided to begin the ground phase of the operation. During this time, more than a thousand Palestinians and 46 Israelis died.
