CAIRO, Dec 23 ― The Palestinian foreign ministry and the group Hamas issued opposing statements yesterday in response to the adoption by the United Nations Security Council of a resolution intended to help bring more humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian foreign ministry, which is part of the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, called the resolution “a step in the right direction,” and said it would help “end the aggression, ensure the arrival of aid and protect the Palestinian people.”
“We consider it a step that may contribute to alleviating the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip,” the foreign ministry statement said.
But Hamas, who runs Gaza, called the resolution an “insufficient step” for meeting the impoverished enclave's needs.
“During the past five days, the US administration has worked hard to empty this resolution of its essence, and to issue it in this weak formula... It defies the will of the international community and the United Nations General Assembly in stopping Israel's aggression against our defenceless Palestinian people,” the statement said.
Earlier yesterday, amid global outrage over a rising Gaza death toll in 11 weeks of war between Israel and Hamas and a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave, the US abstained to allow the 15-member UN Security Council to adopt a resolution drafted by the United Arab Emirates. ― Reuters

Hamas talk big and nonsensically , for a group that started this terrible debacle in the first place on October 7.
ReplyDeleteFor a mfer like u, the Israel Palestine crisis only began October 7!
DeleteOctober 6, 2023 was what passes for peace in the Middle East.
DeleteNo Israeli babies were being slaughtered by Palestinians, No Gaza children were being killed by Israeli air strikes.
Sure there were issues , unhappines and inequities on all sides.
But being killed is permanent...and almost all situations are still better than being dead.
All that changed by the October 7 massacres initiated and carried out by Hamas terrorists.
Oh dear Monster, you're stubbornly or ignorantly or biasly clinging to the silly argument that "all was honky dory" prior to 07 Oct 2023.
DeletePrior to October 7, Palestine didn't exist & Gazans were just humanoid animals to this selective mfer!
DeleteNo day, Nothing is ever Honky Dory in the Middle East.
DeleteHowever, there was no all-out war , were no intense combat operations on October 6.
Hamas initiated the October 7 war.
There are only 3 ways to end the October 7 war - victory , defeat or a negotiated end.
It is impossible for Hamas to start the October 7 War, and pretend it can walk away from it .
Wakakakaka…
