ARAB GROUP WILL REQUEST A CEASE FIRE FOR RAMADAN
The Arab group will present a new draft resolution to the security council on Monday, March 25, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza for the remainder of the current holy month of Ramadan.
This new resolution will be presented after the failure of the project presented by the United States before the council, which was vetoed by China and Russia; and also rejected by Algeria, a non-permanent member of the Council.
The United States has continually opposed a ceasefire in Gaza, but changed its position by introducing its own resolution linking a ceasefire to the release of hostages still held by the Palestinian extremist group Hamas.
But both China and Russia used their veto, stating that the document presented by Washington did not include Israel's obligation to withdraw its military forces from the Palestinian enclave. Analysts present at the United Nations point out that the United States will probably present its veto to this new resolution supported by the Arab group.
The problem, as can be seen, is not the release of the hostages, accepted by everyone, but the condition that this aspect be carried out with or without the presence of the armed forces of the Zionist state.
Eight of the council's 10 non-permanent members have been working on the new draft, which also calls for the “immediate and unconditional” release of hostages seized by Hamas and the lifting of “all barriers” to humanitarian aid flowing into the besieged Gaza Strip .
