RAMALLAH, Friday, November 17, 2023 (WAFA) – The UN has expressed regret over statements by Israeli officials regarding its resolution calling for urgent humanitarian pauses in the Gaza Strip.
"We regret the statements that we saw from the Israeli government on the resolution," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at his daily press briefing yesterday evening.
His remarks came a day after the UN Security Council adopted a resolution with 12 votes in favor, zero against, and three abstentions (the US, UK, and Russia) calling for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses in the Gaza Strip.
"I mean, it was I think, as we all know, it was quite painful for the Council to get to the point of passing a resolution," Dujarric added. "The fighting is continuing. Of course, more needs to be done."
At least 11,500 Palestinians have since been killed, including more than 7,800 women and children, and over 29,200 injured, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
