UN USG for Political and Peace building Affairs on Gaza Peace

UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peace building Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo said, “They cannot afford half measures and the US-led Comprehensive Plan must be implemented fully, alongside urgent action to de-escalate and reverse the dangerous trajectory in the occupied West Bank.”

Addressing the Security Council DiCarlo stated, “The Board of Peace meeting in Washington, D.C, is an important step. They have a responsibility to work collectively to implement Phase II of the Gaza ceasefire and advance efforts toward a credible political path leading to a negotiated two-State solution.”

She also said, “Despite the ceasefire, Gaza is still not at peace. In recent weeks, the Israeli military intensified strikes across Gaza, hitting densely populated areas and killing dozens of Palestinians.”
