UAE expresses deep regret at UNSC's failure to adopt Gaza truce resolution

Gulf Today Report

The UAE Mission to the UN has expressed its deep regret that the Security Council has once again failed to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

"After over 400 days of catastrophic and irreversible devastation in Gaza, and the conflict now spreading across the region, an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire is long overdue," it said in a statement on X.

"The people suffering on the ground cannot wait any longer," the statement said.

The United States vetoed a UN resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with the Americans saying they the resolution on Wednesday was not linked to an immediate release of hostages still held by Hamas.
