Die Debatte im Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen über eine Waffenruhe in Gaza am 8.12.2023

The United States’ representative said the undeniable reality is that, if Israel unilaterally lays down its weapons, Hamas would continue to hold hostages, many of whom are being subjected to inhumane treatment. Hamas remains a threat to Israel, he said, adding that the United States does not support calls for an immediate ceasefire, as Hamas has no desire for either peace or a two-State solution.
