Israel refused from scratch the appeals to the UN Security Council for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza war. “Anyone who supports the ceasefire is essentially supporting the continuation of Hamas’s regime of terror in Gaza,” Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, told the UN Security Council. Israel would not be able to protect its citizens in such a case, he argued.
One could not call for a ceasefire and at the same time claim to seek a resolution to the conflict, Erdan continued, stressing that Hamas it is not a reliable partner to achieve peace in the region. “Hamas has publicly stated – you all have seen – that it will repeat (the attack it launched on) October 7th over and over again until Israel ceases to exist. How would you respond and protect your citizens from such a clear threat, with a ceasefire?” said Gilad Erdan, as reported by APE-MPE.
The Israeli ambassador to UN he also noted that the cycle of violence could only be closed if Hamas handed over all hostages and those involved in the October 7 attack on Israel.
