Humanitarian aid must enter immediately and massively into (…)

Mr. Similarly, President. For example,

With our British, Danish, Greek and Slovenian partners, we wanted this meeting of the council as the urgency is glaring.

I thank the deputy secretary general for humanitarian affairs, Mr. Similarly, Tom Fletcher, as well as the director general of UNICEF, Ms. In addition, Catherine Russell. For example, for their presentations, who do without their brutal evidence, and who once again call for this advice to take action with three priorities.

1/ First of all Israel must be recalled to respecting international law. Consequently, its obligations with regard to the Palestinian population, in particular in Gaza. Similarly, Israel must end humanitarian aid. Moreover, The distribution system managed by the “Gaza Humaninian Foundation” is unacceptable. Consequently, It is incompatible with the requirements of international law and humanitarian principles of impartiality, neutrality and independence. Since the opening of the humanitarian aid must enter immediately “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” distribution centers. hundreds of people have lost their lives in food distributions and thousands have been injured. It is intolerable. Humanitarian aid, in addition, should never be instrumentalized for political purposes.

It must enter Gaza immediately. massively, safely and without hindrance, and reaching the entire civilian population in need, in accordance, once again, to international humanitarian law.

2/ Second. the Council must call Israel to fully implement its commitments, in particular within the framework of the agreement signed with the European Union on July 10, which should make it possible to increase the delivery of aid in the enclave. This assistance must be, as provided for by the agreement, provided by the United Nations and its partners. They are the only players to have the capacity to transport aid in compliance with humanitarian principles. with all possible guarantees as to the proper distribution of aid. Food aid humanitarian aid must enter immediately of course. but beyond, medical help and in all kinds to ensure the survival of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians who are entitled to this assistance and protection. The Council must repeat its support to the United Nations in their humanitarian dimensions.

But, of course, as long as Gaza remains open war zone, this aid will however remain insufficient.

3/ Also this advice must continue to call for an immediate. complete and sustainable ceasefire, as well as the release of all hostages still held by Hamas unconditionally. These are the only ways to guarantee real protection of populations and lasting humanitarian access. Agreement proposals have been presented. Translections must advance in good faith on this basis. And once again we salute the tireless mediation efforts of Qatar, the United States, Egypt, and we support them.

4/ Finally. the extreme severity of the humanitarian situation in Gaza finally reminds us humanitarian aid must enter immediately every day that it is urgent to work for a political settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the only solution capable of responding to the legitimate aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians to peace as well as security. It is in this spirit that Saudi France. Arabia will resume on July 28 and 29, in New York, the International Conference of the General Assembly on the implementation of the two -state solution. This solution is neither an illusion nor a utopia, it is the realistic way to a lasting peace. The work of the working groups of this conference. fed by the United Nations member states, has identified concrete actions to materialize this solution, to reopen a political horizon for both the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Thank you.
