Palestine Applauds UN Resolution on Humanitarian Restrictions in Gaza
In a statement, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the resolution “upholds the primacy of international law and the multilateral system” in the face of actions that infringe upon the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.
The ministry described the resolution as “the correct international response” to Israel’s conduct toward the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and other UN bodies operating in the occupied Palestinian territories.
It further stated that the resolution strengthens the UN’s role in safeguarding Palestinians and reaffirms the duties of the occupying authority, particularly regarding the establishment of humanitarian corridors and the cessation of measures obstructing UN agencies, notably in Gaza.
The ministry highlighted that the significance of the resolution lies in its “immediate and full implementation” and in ensuring that the global community fulfills its legal and moral obligations.
The draft resolution urges Israel to provide unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza, respect the inviolability of UN premises, and adhere to its responsibilities under international law.
It also responds to the recent advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which outlined Israel’s duties as an "occupying power" and a member state of the UN.
