US Submits UN Security Council Resolution Supporting Latest Gaza Deal

[Social Media]

 

The United States has taken a decisive step in the ongoing Gaza conflict by submitting a new resolution to the UN Security Council. This resolution expresses strong support for the latest Israeli hostage release-ceasefire proposal, which was unveiled by President Joe Biden last week.

 

“Numerous leaders and governments, including in the region, have endorsed this plan, and we call on the Security Council to join them in calling for the implementation of this deal without delay and without further conditions,” stated US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield. She emphasized the urgency of the situation and the necessity for the Security Council to act decisively. “The Security Council must insist that Hamas accept the deal.”

 

Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield highlighted that the steps outlined in the deal align with the consistent calls from council members: “Members of the council have consistently called for the steps outlined in this deal: bringing the hostages home, ensuring a complete ceasefire, enabling a surge of humanitarian assistance into Gaza, and the refurbishment of essential services, and setting the stage for a long-term reconstruction plan for Gaza.” She urged the council members to seize this opportunity and speak with one voice in support of the deal.

 

This development comes as Algeria pushes for a separate Security Council resolution aimed at halting Israel’s ongoing operations in Rafah. The United States has signaled that it will oppose this Algerian resolution. The US stance underscores its commitment to the comprehensive proposal that addresses not only the immediate humanitarian needs but also the broader political and security concerns in the region.

 

The US-backed proposal includes a six-week truce and the release of all hostages held by Hamas. It also calls for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and sets the groundwork for long-term reconstruction. President Biden acknowledged the complexities involved in maintaining the proposal but urged both Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement.

 

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller pointed out that Hamas is the primary barrier to the ceasefire talks. “The world should know — the Palestinian people should know — that the only thing standing in the way of an immediate ceasefire today is Hamas,” Miller said. “The proposal on the table is nearly identical to what Hamas said it would accept just a few weeks ago, and it is now time for them to act.”

 

The resolution submitted by the US to the UN Security Council is a pivotal move in the international community's efforts to address the conflict in Gaza. It seeks to provide a clear path toward peace, ensuring the safety of hostages, and facilitating much-needed humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts. The global community now watches closely to see how the Security Council will respond and whether this proposal can bring an end to the hostilities and pave the way for lasting peace in the region.

LOL. Did he check with netanyahu before saying that?

Unless netanyahu changed his mind since 24 hours ago he is not agreeing to stop fighting till Hamas is "defeated", which will likely never happen.

Why would Hamas agree to ceasefire when the enemy is still attacking them?

Hamas not being in power at the end is part of the deal again your wrong. There can never be a full ceasefire while they still control Gaza, you really need to read up on what the deal actually says.

A decisive step would be to stop giving the aggressors any money or bombs, what a screwed up government and president, giving Palestinians food with on hand an complicit in their deaths with the other.
