Foreign ministers in Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and the United Kingdom have expressed their strong rejection of the Israeli Security Council resolution issued on August 8 to launch a new massive military operation in the Gaza Strip. They emphasized that this step will increase the exacerbation of the catastrophic humanitarian crisis, endanger the hostage of the hostages, and increase the risk of civilians collectively.
Risks of violating international humanitarian law
The statement indicated that the plans announced by the Israeli government may violate international humanitarian law, and that any attempts to include lands or expanding settlements are a violation of international law. The ministers demanded all the parties and the international community to make all efforts to end this tragic conflict immediately through an immediate and lasting ceasefire.
The need to provide humanitarian aid and release the hostages
The ministers explained that the ceasefire should allow the provision of wide and immediate humanitarian aid, especially with the exacerbation of the risk of starvation in Gaza. They stressed the need for Hamas to launch all the hostages without delay or conditions, and that they are treated by humanitarian treatment free of cruelty and humiliation.
The catastrophic humanitarian situation and the role of international organizations
The statement described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as Karthy, calling on the Israeli government to amend the registration system of international humanitarian organizations that it imposed recently, to ensure that these organizations are enabled to continue their vital work in accordance with humanitarian principles, and to reach the needy civilians without restrictions.
Commitment to a two -state solution to achieve peace
In conclusion, foreign ministers affirmed their commitment to the two negotiating states solution as a single way to ensure that Israelis and Palestinians live alongside peace, security and dignity. They stressed the necessity of fully disarmament of the Hamas movement and excluding it from any role in the rule of the Gaza Strip, while highlighting the central role of the Palestinian Authority in the region.
