Russia’s request to the Security Council to immediately review the sanctions on Israel

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting “Tass” news agency, Vasily Nebenzia, Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations last night during his speech at the Security Council meeting, emphasized that the approval of Council Resolution No. 2728 was clearly an insufficient action because it was simply not followed and this process should lead to to impose sanctions against its violators, that is, the Israeli side.

This Russian diplomat emphasized that the establishment of a ceasefire in this small encircled area will ensure safe and unhindered access to humanitarian aid for all the people of Gaza in need. It will help prevent the growing threat of a further spread of the crisis throughout the region.

Nebenzia said: Security Council Resolution 2728 was clearly not enough and was simply not implemented at all. The month of Ramadan has passed and the issue of establishing a long-term ceasefire has become acute again. We conclude from the fact that the UN Security Council should revisit this issue in the near future. I remind you once again: Failure to comply with the Security Council’s valid resolutions should lead to the imposition of sanctions against the party that violates it. And we believe that the Council should look into this issue immediately.

The permanent representative of Russia also said in his speech at the Security Council meeting that the budget of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Middle East (UNRWA) should be fully resume Vassily Nebenzia added: “UNRWA is the only channel that helps Palestinians both in the occupied Palestinian territories and in neighboring Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.” And until a just settlement of their situation is achieved as part of the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this agency must continue to operate and help the people.”

This Russian diplomat reminded: However, since the escalation of conflicts between Palestine and Israel, about 2 million Palestinians have been forced to leave their homes, some of whom sought refuge in institutions under the supervision of UNRWA, which despite the situation Their humanitarian and international activities continued to be targeted by Israel. He expressed astonishment and anger regarding the cooperation of its employees with the Hamas movement and added: We categorically condemn the efforts to discredit this agency through false information campaigns. We believe that the funding of UNRWA should be fully restored even before the end of the investigation, while the investigation regarding its connection with Hamas should also be realistic and take into account not only the information provided by Israel, but also the information of the Palestinians. /p>

Not long ago, Martin Griffiths, the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, said that UNRWA is an important part of the process of sending and distributing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, and efforts to Driving it out of the area should be stopped. He added that the agency’s “access, experience and credibility” are unique, something no other organization has.
