The United Nations Security Council held a rare emergency weekend meeting after Israel said his military “would take control” of the city of Gaza in a plan approved by the security cabinet of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that caused a wave of global criticism.
“If these plans are implemented, they will probably trigger another calamity in Gaza, reverberating throughout the region and causing more forced displacements, murders and destruction,” UN Secretary General, Miroslav Jenc, said to the Security Council. The UN Humanitarian Office, Ocha, said that 98 children had died from acute malnutrition since the beginning of the conflict in October 2023, with 37 of those deaths since July, according to the authorities of Gaza. “This is no longer an imminent crisis of hunger, this is hungry, pure and simple,” said Eight Coordination Director Ramesingham.

SANCTION CALLS
Great Britain, a close ally of Israel who, however, pressed for an emergency meeting on the crisis, warned that the Israeli plan risked to prolong the conflict. “It will only deepen the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. This is not a path to resolution. It is a path towards more bloodshed,” said British attached ambassador to the UN James Kariuki.
Outside the meeting at the UN Headquarters in New York, a great but noisy protest that requested that the conflict encountered a great police presence.
The United States, a permanent member who pushes the safety council veto, accused those nations that supported the Sunday meeting “actively prolonging war by spreading lies about Israel.” “Israel has the right to decide what is necessary for its safety and what measurement measures are appropriate to put an end to the threat that Hamas represents,” said American envid Dorothy Shea.
Israel’s attached ambassador to the UN, Jonathan Miller, said that “the pressure should not be exerted on Israel … but in Hamas.” The Ambassador of Algeria, Amar Blessed, asked Israel to sanctions in response to his plan in the city of Gaza. “The time has come to impose sanctions on the enemy of humanity,” he said. “If it were another country, you would have imposed sanctions a long time ago,” said Palestinian sent Mansour.
‘Terrible humanitarian situation’
Meanwhile, Pakistan expressed concern about the terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke with Turkiye Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, since both parties expressed serious concerns regarding the terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza.

He also emphasized the urgent need to provide humanitarian assistance without obstacles and the end of Israeli impunity, the state application reported.
Polarized Israel
More than 22 months after the war, Israel is grabbed by a yawn division that faces those who demand the end of the conflict and an agreement for the release of prisoners against others who want to see Hamas defeated once and for all.
But Prime Minister Netanyahu told reporters gathered for a rare press conference that “this is the best way to end the war and the best way to end it quickly.” “I don’t want to talk about exact schedules, but we are talking in terms of a rather short schedule because we want to put an end to war,” he added.
The press conference was ahead of the UN Security Council meeting convened to discuss the situation in Gaza and the new Israeli plan. He also arrived a day after thousands of people took to the streets in Tel Aviv to protest the decision of the security cabinet.
“The new plan is only another plan that will fail, and it could be the end of our prisoners and, of course, more lives of our soldiers will probably be needed,” said the protester Joel Obodov. AFP
