The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution, proposed by the United States, calling for an immediate, full, and complete ceasefire in Gaza.
The resolution aims to achieve a comprehensive ceasefire deal through a three-phase approach to end the ongoing aggression.
US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield announced the resolution's adoption, stating: "Today, we voted for peace." The proposal received overwhelming support with 14 votes in favor, while Russia abstained.
The resolution outlines a detailed plan to ensure a lasting end to the conflict:
Phase One: An immediate, full, and complete ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners. It also calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas of Gaza, the return of Palestinians to their homes and neighborhoods, and the safe and effective distribution of humanitarian assistance.
Phase Two: A permanent end to hostilities in exchange for the release of all remaining hostages in Gaza and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the enclave.
Phase Three: Initiation of a major multi-year reconstruction plan for Gaza.
The resolution rejects any attempts at demographic or territorial changes in the Gaza Strip, including actions that might reduce the territory of the enclave. It reiterates the Security Council’s commitment to the two-state solution, envisioning Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip and the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority, stressing the need for a cohesive and peaceful Palestinian governance.
This landmark resolution marks a significant step towards peace and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip, reflecting the international community's commitment to ending the conflict and supporting a sustainable future for both Israelis and Palestinians. (ILKHA)
