(AR/EN) Humanitarian Vote: Arab & Islamic Groups on adoption in the United Nations General Assembly

Comments to the media by the Permanent Representatives of the Troika of the Arab Group and the Troika of the Islamic Group (Organization of Islamic Cooperation, OIC), on the Situation in the Middle East - Security Council Media Stakeout. Speaking to reporters outside the General Assembly Hall after the vote, Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour said, “This draft resolution demands an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Let me repeat: demands, the language of demands, it has the power of implementation. It does not call for or urges, it demands.” He continued, “We will not rest until we see compliance of Israel with this demand from the General Assembly, so that we can see a ceasefire in place, so that we can move into the massive, you know, amount of truckloads of assistance, humanitarian assistance of food, medicine, water and fuel in order to run the hospitals, to run the plants for desalination, and all the things that our people need for survival.” Ambassador Mansour concluded, “Today was a historic day in terms of the powerful message that was sent from the General Assembly, and it is our collective duty to continue in this path until we see an end to this aggression against our people to see this war stopping against our people. It is our duty to save lives.
