a blond breach of international which category they prohibits endangering civilians, medical stuff, and to monetary and establishment. this is the inevitable results of the ministry operations that's being conducted in gaza. one of the most densely populated places on this decision is the cutoff a tricity water supply under few supplies of a then fuel oil so deeply concerning and are leading to cost us trust stick presents the evacuation or there was displaced over a 1000000 people. those guys has had serious humanitarian consequences. such decisions are inconsistent with international humanitarian law and must be rescinded. well, it's also stressed as the crews should important that there be a rafters on him, the, to monitor and access to guys. and it just means if establishment of humanitarian card, those in this regard at this juncture,

the importance of preventing or regional spillover is christopher because it is death on passive for real parties, exist size, maximum restraint, and for the comply with the norms of international. assess, moving forward, must be states 1st and that aligning with a just and comprehensive resolution of them is of these conflicts. thank you. thank the representative of malta for the statement and then i'll give the floor to the representative of china. she's here. it keeps preston. this preston the night before last. i already gave her the comprehensive comforts of china views on covering the situation in palestine and israel and the next english to somebody to assure you separate. i'm trying to position. i shall focus on trying to position now today spelled on the fact that the draft resolution failed to be adopted. and all reaction is that of shock and mental disorder not

before was the russian resolution focused on the the situation at this time on the street. i'm focusing on to production of civil yes and diver resolution to talk to is the steve the officer pulled from the company because of high but some companies have chosen to custody? did we can keep an eye? the point was that the was actually more intended to base their positions onto drugs resolution type of by brazil. i so it's got more time to deliberate other colleagues from direct pursue. and the comic of the colleagues have agreed to that request by postpone need the meeting for another 224 hours. i know it's being proposed plus the can to this point. over the past 40 hours, they have neither come to the new express opposition to the present in the draft and which led us to expect that today. hopefully they will vote in favor of this

resolution. and council would be able to talk to a solution face of a high, but find a result of develop, which is nothing short to be livable. it is also the beauty of china that the presented and resolution still has rooms for improvement. it should send a strong message asking for cease fire protection facility is assessed free, prevent human detect because it has to be there for china. as a proposed of the proposed amendment says, that ain't i do to improve the chopped wire at the same time agreeing with the russian amendments and the russian amendment. and the fact that it was stamped to the top to we are very disappointed that being the case if view of the fact that decision in casa is deteriorating rapidly to a far what happened yesterday, that is the are striking on the hospital hospital and things like that resolved

petite being saved in casualties in the hundreds. therefore, the console has to take rapid actions. china to contend strongly. they are striking a test hospitals and re boot israel to effectively abide by the applications under the international humanist henry little. we call forces fire protection of sibling stupid as to prevent further sleeping cash up to the soft resolution type of device for sale in general, reflect the construct, steve general view of the international community representing the original really short steps to be taking part console come to achieve a ceasefire and a could be possibly the only possible trump that the counselor can reach consensus . so onto the common defense sections, test some countries to hourly asserting that to the counselor should take a correct to action. either way, the voted on the text in question because the don't the really news for the

we are deeply concerned about the human liars that are being lost on a daily basis seems to be a conflict that opted the civilian population, mainly children, women and the elders are they are suffering the most from the trust it is and grave effects of this or even a supporting dissolution, mozambique associate is, are self with the collective effort. so this coastal aimed at ensuring the protection of civilians. and to the respect forwarding to initial human rights alone. international human who taught in the low as the geneva polarization. as applied to this conflict,

morphine guys, the entities that i have it though is i was to call that you many times in the age you must to reach. should the need do pollutions in the guys that that includes the provision of, of social goods and services as well as medical supplies. this, the president we are course, he is over the fact that ultimately you money. tatiana programs need for lead to cause solutions. this belief reflect is oh, and experience originated from our protracted struggle. again is colonial, is racism. and up i tied the and decided enough within the region. in

this context, we urge all the parties to immediately stop, but that refrain from further violence ending gauge in the constructive dialogue was on the front of the believes that these, that ireland fall is sign on. on the result of the differences through dialogue we hold of you the pc is all as possible. if the conflicting parties are generally new, willing to formal the part of justice and toilet are those we therefore wish to write the rates our appeal to the members of the schools. to redouble our efforts to add us to stay nimble, solution 3 is very early body sign conflict

we believe of the policy and people. and these are the people, how they are, you know, going to go right to, to stay towards they come to live together, side by side in peace and security d as a good to neighbors. as a matter fact, the truck compelled as the parties, and indeed the tying conditional community to practice toilers and to live together in peace with one another as a good live us going to use for president. so i think the representative of mozambique for the statement and then i'll give the floor to the representative of gunner i thank you mister president. and let me begin by thanking your presidency and all the cases for their,

for somebody to have a consensual resolution that could have helped support the efforts of this counsel to de escalate the representations and respond to the tragic situation that we all witness and the gaza strip uninstalled and is, are we deeply regret that the resolution he could not suppress forgotten? no, we have always held the account associated as far as possible. speaking one voice on this important dispute was forward lines which made a distant thoughts of the well, we have, therefore, from the very beginning, given prior to, to the efforts intrusted to the presidency. you need all of us in that direction. it was in disregard also that we voted in favor of the president on draft resolution i deemed important dropped in for the draft resolution proposed on monday night. and the amendment is to today's resolution to preserved abroad as possible agreement that was found to guide as an echo one direction as desperate

the highest as it's if it's ease of the decades. what would is really policy, non conflict under differences in our approaches we may have in resolving it? what should be problem, mountains on historic responsibility as a counselor to deliver the 2 state solution and preserve the life of the 2 nations was destined. these are bound by history and their homeowners shed in the causes in our ability to act on this responsibility today, however, should the break result. we believe that the united council, voice and action on the matter is still required and critically stabilizing the situation and the system, the properties to enter into dialogue, which is only viable 5 to durable piece. we should therefore continue to ask the parties to deescalate sequences so as to support some additional thoughts unlock on the doors of all those that can have a good written influence on the parties. do you open up the space for dialogue?

united states. having continuing to make diplomatic efforts on the ground to improve the situation as soon as possible. japan, expenses is great to regret the fact that the resolution was voted to a vote to date never the less japan has consistent 3 and strongly supported and put the facing diploma through a couple efforts. the us present burden and of the relevant countries of all of us, including those who referred to hypocrisy in particular should the think twice if we really faithful to human rights principles. and if we are doing sufficient effort to make the difference on the ground in improving humanitarian station actions need to develop, we will continue to work together with other countries to ensure the safety of civilians and realized in the early de escalation of the station. i thank you

mister president. i think the representative of japan and i'll give the force of the representative of switzerland. that's the same as you know because you don't. thank you, president. on the 7th of october already switch sent family condemned the terrorist attack. the indiscriminate attacks and hostage taken perpetrated by him us again to see his ready people. there's no way to flo, the depths of thousands of civilians including hundreds of children in this room and occupied pressing into shape particularly gaza, fits and echoes the secretary. generally in condemning unequivocally these strikes, particularly those who, which according to united issues figures have led to hundreds of depths and thousands of inches yesterday in the last of the hospital and anglican pisca pool church and weeks press are sincere condolences to be injured and the victims we are concerned regarding very large scale if you want to turn in crisis and gosh, and the domestic situation for these 5 civilians. almost

a 1000000 people have been displaced and his purch and for humanitarian aid to be able to enter water, electricity, and medical supplies of being a dwindling. we have all spoken around this table yesterday about the situation in the middle east, which requires united urgent action by the council, the escalation protection of civilians, humane treatment for all hostages and switches and closer, immediate release as well as rep. so it's safe on him. did you want to, terry and access now real priorities, the draft resolution tables i presume, met these priorities. we've been aiming for coming to standing by this council, which is why we in fact voted in favor for its profit and very much regret the failure to adopt the resolution put to the vote today. i wish to thank your delegation. once again, president feel sustained commitment to this regrettable that we have not yet been

able to reach consensus on a product. showing unity in the face of the situation. independently of the adoption of a resolution. all the parties must uphold international humanitarian law, particularly the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution. as well as human rights, international humanitarian law takes account of the gist of legitimate security and military needs. all these rules must therefore be respected with no exception. president switzerland has deployed every effort to contribute to reaching consensus on accounts. so product in this urgent situations on a moment, along the same lines, we remain at the dispos, your disposal to support any new initiatives which could result in action by this council. thank you. i think the representative of switzerland for the statement and i'll give the floor to the representative of double nothing should pause you don't

think you president so this morning, this council is seeing its credibility put to the test, given the scope of the deadly violence in israel and gaza and the extreme gravity of the crisis in the middle east don't know whose shockwave is threatening peace and security in the whole of the region. and beyond us as a security council mandate as to how it was or failing that to prevent them. and to alleviate the human suffering born of crises, some of this morning re security code. so it was not equal to this mandate. the rhetoric around this table provided no sucker know how to civilians in guys who are falling in the face of indiscriminate strikes by miss house and rockets. and who are deprived of all means of survival. in for the once again, we would like to extend geopolitics of power lies basically counts those capacity

for action. this comes to is not reacting in the face of hara and the extremes of distress of civilians in the face of the serious crises in the middle ages. and we are counting the deaths and the destruction was remaining powerless. this council has not provided any coherent for his funds to provide a glimmer of hope to the children, the women, the hostages, and the peoples of the world. who were watching deliberations for the survival of booty and for saving that my country voted in favor of the draft resolution table by the brazilian presidency and the 2 amendments proposed because it is crucial and urgent. i put it up to having some issues, so strong condemnations of the above architects the case is right on the subject of october, last unrecognized. israel is right committed to the defense whilst upholding the principles of proportionality and distinction. again with regards to competence and

civilians. if we firmly believe that given the magnitude of the deadly violence which over a few days has caused thousands of death and immeasurable humanitarian distress me, we must call for an immediate succession of facilities on the opening. a few minutes heavy inquiry doors to alleviate the suffering of civilians. this position has been clear since the 1st comes from a king. a people hostage taking is unacceptable and unjustifiable to indefensible. and we reiterate the hostages must be released with no conditions. no black ma'am. we regret the fact that the council was unable to become its divisions. we must certainly show greater responsibility so as to find a solution to the crisis in the middle east. the who's on this chronic nature questions, our credibility and punishable reputation for government. the 2 state solution is

the only credible alternative we can and must achieve this through diplomacy, good faith negotiations, and overcoming fears and self interest which are distancing us from our collective responsibility of maintaining peace and security in the region and beyond. thank you. i thank the representative of god, both for the statements and then i'll give the floor to the representative of the united kingdom. thank you president. and let me start by thanking you for your good faith efforts to negotiate this resolution. the draft resolution on which we have just voted rightly condemns the appalling how mass terrorist attacks on israel, on the 7th of october. it also makes clear that all actions need to be taken in line with international humanitarian law. it

stresses the importance of ensuring humanitarian access and protecting civilians and emphasizes this councils should priority of preventing regional escalation of the conflict. as we welcome and support the draft resolutions attempts to set out the council's view on these critical points. but the draft resolution needed to be clara on israel's inherent right to self defense in line with the you and shelter off to have mass attacks killed over 1400 people and took almost 200 people hostage. the draft resolution also ignore the fact that thomas are using instant palestinian civilians

as human shields. they have embedded themselves in civilian communities and made the palestinian people victims to for these reasons, the united kingdom abstained on this resolution. my prime minister has been clear that the u. k. stands with israel in the face of these atrocities. we support israel's right to defend itself against him. us take back the hostages to to further inc, cushions and strength, and that security to the loan to in. so doing we will continue to cool on israel to take a feasible precautions to avoid harming palestinian civilians.
