LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Over the weekend three of Israel’s allies called for the fighting in Gaza to end.
According to BBC, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron teamed up with Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war – but only if it’s “sustainable”.
Cameron and Baerbock jointly wrote an article for the UK’s Sunday Times, saying: “Our goal cannot simply be an end to fighting today. It must be peace lasting for days, years, generations.”
The UK and Germany had earlier last week abstained over a United Nations resolution, backed by 153 countries, demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said, “Too many civilians are being killed”.
Meanwhile, the UN Security Council could vote later on a proposal to demand that Israel and Hamas allow aid access to Gaza via land, sea, and air routes.
The AFP news agency reports there is a new resolution planned for today, drawn up by the United Arab Emirates, calling for an “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities” in Gaza.
The new resolution also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and affirms support for a two-state solution.
The US blocked a previous Security Council resolution calling for a “humanitarian ceasefire”.
