Palestinian ministry blames UN Security Council for failures in Gaza

The Palestinian Foreign Affairs Ministry released a statement holding the UN Security Council accountable for "the consequences of its continued failure to stop the war of genocide against our people."

The ministry called on the council to use its powers to protect Palestinians, particularly those suffering in the northern Gaza Strip.

It also warned of the risks posed by "any proposed plans aimed at perpetuating the separation" of Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The statement emphasised that international recognition of a legitimate Palestinian state is the only path to resolving the crisis.

The ministry added that the positions countries take "the day after" the war will reveal their true stance on the two-state solution.
