UN Security Council votes on draft resolution to stop aggression against Rafah

NEW YORK, May 30 (YPA)  – The UN Security Council will vote on Thursday on a draft Algerian resolution to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against Rafah.

The draft resolution states that the Security Council may “decide that Israel, the occupying power, must immediately cease its military attack and any other action in Rafah.”

The draft resolution calls for an immediate ceasefire respected by all parties, demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and further demands that the parties comply with their obligations under international law with respect to all persons they detain.

It is noteworthy that this session is the first action by the Security Council since the attack launched by Israeli occupation aircraft on refugee tents in Rafah, and this meeting will be followed by other steps that Algeria intends to initiate at the Security Council level.
