Resolution by Arab countries at the UN calls for an “immediate humanitarian truce” and an end to Israel’s evacuation order; see full

The UN General Assembly is analyzing this Friday (27) a draft resolution, drafted by Arab countries, which calls for an “immediate humanitarian truce” in the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East.

The document obtained by CNN “also demands the immediate, continuous, sufficient and unhindered supply of essential goods and services to civilians throughout the Gaza Strip, including, among others, water, food, medical supplies, fuel and electricity, underlining the imperative need, under the terms of international humanitarian law, to ensure that civilians are not deprived of goods essential to their survival”.

The amendments by the Arab League — which brings together 22 Middle Eastern nations — were made based on an original Jordanian text.

The new text of the resolution also calls for “the rescinding of the order by Israel, the occupying power, to Palestinian civilians and United Nations personnel, as well as humanitarian and medical workers, to evacuate all areas of the Gaza Strip.”

The Arab countries also call in the document “a fair and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only be achieved by peaceful means, based on the relevant United Nations resolutions and in accordance with international law, and based on the two-way solution States”.

The text will be analyzed this afternoon and in the evaluation of Brazilian diplomats there is a chance of approval. The reading is that unlike the UN Security Council, where Brazil, as shown by CNN strikes an agreement between the United States and Russia, in the Assembly there is a majority pro-Palestine sentiment.
