Mr. Bendjama
I would like to thank all Council members for their flexibility and constructive work, which has allowed us to adopt
long-awaited resolution 2728 (2024), a resolution that calls for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in order to put an end to the massacres that, unfortunately, have persisted for more than five months now. During those five months, the Palestinian people have been subjected…
Mrs. Thomas-Greenfield
At the top, I want to express my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of last week’s terrorist attack in Moscow. We condemn terrorism in all its forms and stand in solidarity with the Russian people in grieving the loss of life from that horrific event.
Today, the Council spoke out in support of the ongoing diplomatic efforts, led by the United States, Qatar and Egypt, to bring abo…
Mr. Žbogar
Today is an important day. Most of all, we hope it will signal an important day for the people of the Middle East, a day that will help silence the guns, stop the killing, free the hostages and bring some calm to and clear the sky over Gaza, and the day that marks the beginning of the end of pain and suffering of civilians. It is a significant day for the elected members. We found our voice, of a…
Mr. Hwang
Today’s adoption of the resolution proposed by the elected members of the Security Council (E10), including the Republic of Korea (resolution 2728 (2024)), has a historic meaning in that it is the very first resolution adopted by the Council that demands a ceasefire in Gaza, after numerous attempts by the Council and consistent
appeals by the Secretary-General, the Office for the Coordination of…
Mrs. Frazier
At the outset I would like to express our condolences to the Russian Federation for the atrocious terrorist attack of last week. We condemn all terrorism in all its forms.
Malta was proud to co-pen the resolution we have just adopted (resolution 2728 (2024)), which calls for a ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire. With this resolution, the Security Counc…
Mr. De Rivière
France welcomes today’s adoption of resolution 2728 (2024).
More than five months after the beginning of the crisis in Gaza, triggered by the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas, it was high time for the Security Council to finally act. It was high time for it to establish a ceasefire. It was high time for it to demand the release of hostages. It was high time for it to call for comprehensive …
Mrs. Baeriswyl
Switzerland voted in favour of resolution 2728 (2024) and welcomes its adoption by the Security Council. Finally, there is cause for hope.
This vote should mark a return to greater humanity in the Middle East conflict. “Human dignity and decency must define us as a global community”. That is how the Secretary-General, whom I wish to thank alongside all humanitarian stakeholders, underlined that …
Mr. Zhang Jun
China voted in favour of resolution 2728 (2024), which was just now put to the vote. We thank Algeria, Mozambique and other elected Council members for their efforts.
On Friday, the Security Council voted on the other draft resolution on the situation in Gaza (S/2024/239), proposed by the United States. China, together with Algeria and Russia, voted against it (see S/PV.9584).
A comparison of t…
Mr. De La Gasca
Ecuador condemns the terrorist attacks in Moscow and expresses its solidarity with the victims’ families and the Russian people.
The resolution that we have adopted today (resolution 2728 (2024)) was born as an idea formed by the elected members to prepare a text that would be acceptable to all members of the Security Council and would allow the Council to speak out in a timely manner on a human…
Mrs. Rodrigues-Birkett
Guyana condemns the terrorist attack that occurred in Moscow last week and also extends its condolences to the Government and people of Russia.
Guyana is pleased that the Security Council has finally been able to adopt a resolution that demands an immediate ceasefire, albeit just for the month of Ramadan, leading to a lasting and sustainable ceasefire (resolution 2728 (2024)). After more than fi…
Mr. Kanu
Sierra Leone also expresses its deepest condolences to the Government and the people of the Russian Federation following the heinous terrorist attacks last week. Terrorism and acts of terrorism in all forms and manifestations are condemnable and unjustifiable.
The consideration and adoption of resolution 2728 (2024), co-penned by the 10 elected members of the Council (E10), including Sierra Leon…
Mr. Nebenzia
Russia voted in favour of resolution 2728 (2024), submitted by the 10 non-permanent members of the Security Council. It is of fundamental importance that the Security Council is, for the first time, demanding that the parties observe an immediate ceasefire, even if it is limited to the month of Ramadan. Unfortunately, what will happen afterwards is still unclear, as the word “lasting” can be inte…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Japan.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, even during the holy month of Ramadan, with high levels of food insecurity, the imminence of famine and nearly 1.5 million people sheltering in Rafah, struggling each day for their survival. We deeply mourn the tens of thousands of lives lost in the conflict, starting w…
Mr. Mansour
I wish to begin my statement by conveying my deepest condolences to the people and Government of the Russian Federation, and
my good friend Vassily Nebenzia, following the horrific terrorist attack in Moscow. We express our sympathy to the bereaved families and stand in solidarity with our Russian brothers and sisters in these difficult days.
It has taken six months, more than 100,000 Palestini…
Mr. Erdan
At the outset, I want to express my deepest condolences to the Russian people and to the families of all the victims of the heinous terror attack on Friday. Terror must always be condemned in the harshest terms.
The Security Council was justifiably very quick to condemn Friday’s terror attack in Russia. Just as it wasted no time in condemning the terror attack in Iran against a police station ba…
Mr. Al-Saadi
It is my honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the Group of Arab States.
At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, and your friendly country Japan on presiding over the Security Council for this month. I also thank you, Sir, for holding this meeting.
I would like to express my sincere condolences to my dear colleague, Mr. Vassily Nebenzia, and to the entire delegat…
