UN delegates call for Gaza ceasefire at General Assembly
[]
JURIST – News
United Nations delegates called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to alleviate Palestinian suffering on Monday evening before the UN General Assembly in New York City.
Earlier this month, the UN Security Council proposed a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, which the US vetoed.
The international body has also warned that Israel’s tactics in Gaza could have a devastating impact on disabled individuals and has repeatedly called out human rights violations in the region.
The call for ceasefire came hours after US President Donald Trump announced a peace plan for Israel and Hamas.
Trump told news outlets that Hamas has “three to four days” to respond to the plan and that there was not much room for negotiation or deviation from the proposed course.
