Mrs. Thomas-Greenfield
Today the Security Council sent a clear message to Hamas: accept the ceasefire deal on the table. Israel has already agreed to this deal, and the fighting could stop today if Hamas would do the same. I repeat: the fighting could stop today. The Council and countries across the region and the world have endorsed this agreement. Hamas can now see that the international community is united — united …
Mr. Bendjama
Our thoughts are with the more than 37,000 Palestinians who have been killed by the Israeli occupying forces during these last eight months. Over 20,000 of them are women and children. Those martyrs, for us, are alive with their Lord. They are watching over us from heaven.
We Algerians deeply feel the suffering of Palestinians and, with our own history of struggle against colonial occupation, we…
Mrs. Frazier
We thank our colleagues from the United States for submitting resolution 2735 (2024), which complements the commendable diplomatic efforts of Egypt, Qatar and the United States towards achieving a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza.
Malta voted in favour of the resolution as the crisis remains untenable. We welcome the Council’s ability to support a resolution that is aimed at putting an end to the…
Mrs. Baeriswyl
Switzerland voted in favour of resolution 2735 (2024) submitted by the United States of America and welcomes its adoption. I would like to thank the United States delegation for that initiative.
The resolution calls on the parties to conclude and implement, without delay or conditions, the three-phase proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. That plan currently represents the best chance for an end to …
Mr. Yamazaki
The devastating conflict in Gaza has gone on for far too long, with too much suffering and loss of innocent life. The catastrophic humanitarian situation is indescribable. Many of the hostages are still being held in appalling conditions.
Japan greatly appreciates the vigorous diplomatic efforts led by the United States, Egypt and Qatar. And we strongly support the three-phase proposal outlined …
Mrs. Blokar Drobič
Slovenia voted in favour of resolution 2735 (2024), focusing on the comprehensive ceasefire deal in Gaza. We would like to thank the United States, as the penholder, for its efforts.
Since the start of the conflict, Slovenia has been calling for a strong, united voice from the Council on this issue. We believe that calls by the international community, efforts by mediators and bilateral efforts …
Mr. Fu Cong
The conflict in Gaza has lasted over eight months, killing more than 37,000 Palestinians and leaving more than 2 million people in an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Israel’s large-scale offensive against Rafah and its attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp over the past two days have caused additional heavy casualties.
In the face of this human tragedy, the international community long ago…
Ms. Persaud
Some 247 days have passed since Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel and since Israel launched a war on Gaza, unprecedented in scale and impact. The death toll from that war is staggering, with thousands of Palestinians killed in barbaric ways. The humanitarian situation is catastrophic, and Gaza has been made an abyss of destruction. Despite the adoption of resolutions, by both the Security Council…
Mr. De La Gasca
Ecuador has once again voted in favour of peace. It has supported this resolution (resolution 2735 (2024)) because it believes that the Security Council should make its voice heard in support of a proposal that can finally stop the war. This proposal, which must be accepted by both parties, will put into effect an immediate and total ceasefire, allow for the release of hostages and facilitate the…
Mr. Sowa
Sierra Leone would like to thank the United States for its initiative in working on this resolution (resolution 2735 (2024)). We further acknowledge and support the ongoing diplomatic efforts spearheaded by Qatar, Egypt and the United States aimed at achieving a deal that will bring about tangible results on the ground.
It is in anticipation of that result that Sierra Leone voted in favour of th…
Mr. Nebenzia
Russia abstained in the voting on the Security Council resolution submitted by the United States endorsing the mediators’ proposal on a ceasefire in Gaza (resolution 2735 (2024)).
From the very beginning of the escalation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we have consistently and unwaveringly advocated for the imperative of establishing a permanent ceasefire, and for the release of hostages a…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the Republic of Korea.
The Republic of Korea has repeatedly expressed its strong support for the diplomatic efforts carried out by the relevant countries, including the United States, Egypt and Qatar, to achieve an immediate ceasefire and the release of the hostages. The recent air strikes on refugee camps and the massive opera…
Mrs. Shapir Ben Naftaly
From the very first days following Hamas’s invasion and brutal massacre on 7 October 2023, Israel’s goals have been very clear: to bring all our hostages back home and to dismantle Hamas’s capabilities. Israel is committed to those goals — to free all the hostages, to destroy Hamas’s military and governing capabilities and to ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future. And as…

The Security Council,
Reaffirming the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,
Recalling all its relevant resolutions on the situation in the Middle East,
including the Palestinian question,
Underscoring the importance of the ongoing diplomatic efforts by Egypt, Qatar,
and the United States aimed at reaching a comprehensive ceasefire deal, consisting
of three phases,
1. Welcomes the new ceasefire proposal announced on May 31, which Israel
accepted, calls upon Hamas to also accept it, and urges both parties to fully implement
its terms without delay and without condition;
2. Notes that the implementation of this proposal would enable the following
outcomes to spread over three phases:
(a) Phase 1: an immediate, full, and complete ceasefire with the release of
hostages including women, the elderly and the wounded, the return of the remains of
some hostages who have been killed, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners,
withdrawal of Israeli forces from the populated areas in Gaza, the return of Palestinian
civilians to their homes and neighborhoods in all areas of Gaza, including in the north,
as well as the safe and effective distribution of humanitarian assistance at scale
throughout the Gaza Strip to all Palestinian civilians who need it, including housing
units delivered by the international community;
(b) Phase 2: upon agreement of the parties, a permanent end to hostilities, in
exchange for the release of all other hostages still in Gaza, and a full withdrawal of
Israeli forces from Gaza; and
(c) Phase 3: the start of a major multi-year reconstruction plan for Gaza and
the return of the remains of any deceased hostages still in Gaza to their families;
3. Underlines that the proposal says if the negotiations take longer than six
weeks for phase one, the ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue,
and welcomes the readiness of the United States, Egypt, and Qatar to work to ensure
negotiations keep going until all the agreements are reached and phase two is able to
begin;
4. Stresses the importance of the parties adhering to the terms of this proposal
once agreed and calls upon all Member States and the United Nations to support its
implementation;
5. Rejects any attempt at demographic or territorial change in the Gaza Strip, including any actions that reduce the territory of Gaza;
6. Reiterates its unwavering commitment to the vision of the two-State solution where two democratic States, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders, consistent with international law and relevant UN resolutions, and in this regard stresses the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority;
7. Decides to remain seized of the matter.
