UN Security Council holds meeting on the situation in the Middle East and Gaza

The UN Security Council is holding its monthly open briefing and closed consultations on the situation in the Middle East, including the situation in Gaza.
Sigrid Kaag, special coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process ad interim, said “aid cannot be negotiable and there cannot be a question of forced displacement”.
“Humanitarian aid and assistance need to urgently reach all people in Gaza,” she said. “Forced displacement of civilians must be rejected and prevented as per international law. Palestinians should be supported to stay on their land.”
Kaag warned that the international community needs to pivot “from declarations to decisions”.
“Peace cannot be a transaction or a partial temporary arrangement,” she added. “Durable security cannot be achieved solely through force. It must be built on mutual recognition, justice and rights for all.”
