Israel Rejects All Human Approach
On the other hand, the Palestinian Authority and other countries that supported the resolution welcomed its adoption. The resolution had been drafted by Arab states
Israel's rejection of a United Nations (UN) resolution addressing the Gaza crisis has drawn mixed reactions from around the world. The resolution, which called for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian truce between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas, was adopted by the UN General Assembly with an overwhelming majority of 120 votes in favor, 14 against, and 45 abstentions.
However, Israel's U.N. Ambassador, Gilad Erdan, vehemently rejected the resolution, questioning the legitimacy and relevance of the U.N. and accusing those who voted in favor of supporting "the defense of Nazi terrorists" rather than Israel.
Erdan criticized the resolution for its failure to name Hamas and hostages and for not condemning the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on October 7. Israel's closest ally, the United States, also voted against the resolution, aligning itself with Israel's concerns. The US representative expressed disappointment over the resolution's omissions and its potential implications for Israel's ability to defend itself against Hamas attacks.
The Human Approach
On the other hand, the Palestinian Authority and other countries that supported the resolution welcomed its adoption. The resolution had been drafted by Arab states and received significant international support. While some countries that voted in favor expressed reservations about certain aspects of the resolution's language, they still acknowledged the importance of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
For instance, the representative of France regretted the absence of condemnation for the terror attack by Hamas and other groups. Similarly, Poland decided to abstain from voting on the resolution partially due to concerns over these omissions. These reservations highlight the nuanced stance taken by some countries, balancing their support for addressing the crisis while also acknowledging certain shortcomings in the resolution.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi strongly criticized Israel's rejection of the resolution, arguing that voting against it "means approving this senseless war, this senseless killing." The rival Palestinian Authority's foreign ministry welcomed the resolution, highlighting an international consensus opposing what they described as Israel's "unhinged aggression" amid an escalation in violence.
