“We do not support the call for an immediate ceasefire. “This would only sow the seeds of another war, because Hamas does not want a lasting peace or a two-state solution.”he said wood at the Advice.

Wood argued, repeating Israeli theses, that “Yes Israel will lay down his arms today, like some member states they asked, Hamas would continue to hold hostages, women and children, old and young, many of them subject to inhumane treatment is cruel.”

A bit before wood the Israeli ambassador will speak, Gilad Erdanradically opposed a truce and said that “The true path to peace is to support the mission of Israel and don’t call at all Stop the fire”.

The ambassador, known in recent weeks for his aggressive speeches against different instances of the UNjustified his opposition to the truce: “A ceasefire means consolidating the control that Hamas It has in Link; Furthermore, calling for a ceasefire sends a clear message that its deliberate atrocities are forgiven and that Hamas’s oppression of Gazans has the green light from the international community.”

The speech of Erdanas always, consisted of blaming Hamas for everything that happens in Linkand today he assured that his militants monopolized the scarce humanitarian aid that enters the Strip and that they even shot at the Gaza civilians who are trying to access this help.

He went so far as to assure, contrary to what all humanitarian agencies claim, that “in fact, Israel “accepts all humanitarian aid to Gaza from any country that wishes to provide it.”but this help does not reach its true recipients.

The message of Erdan It was addressed to the 15 members of the Advice in the hours before the vote on a new resolution, presented by United Arab Emiratesand this requires an unconditional ceasefire, although the French ambassador to UN, Nicolas de la Rivierealready warned this Friday that it did not seem realistic that this text could be approved today, and the words of wood They make us think that a vote like this is doomed to failure.

The United States, main ally Israelhas criticized his ally for the fact that the attacks in Gaza They do not take into account the protection of civilians, without asking for a ceasefire.

During the two months of war, the security advice voted on several occasions for other resolutions to call for an end to the war, with vetoes overridden by United States and Russiaand only on November 15 were they able to agree on a call to “humanitarian breaks”to provide assistance to the civilian population of Link.

However, the only truce declared in these two months (of seven days) was not the result of this resolution, but rather of he speaks indirect between Israel It is Hamas -with mediation Qatar and USA– exchange hostages in the hands of Hamas by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
