The United States told the UN Security Council on Friday that the Palestinian militant group Hamas has been guilty of deaths in the Gaza range since Israel resumed hostilities at the scene.
“Hamas has full responsibility for the ongoing war in Gaza and the resumption of hostilities. Each death was avoided as a bridge that the United States offered last Wednesday,” Dorothy Shea, an interim Ambassador of the USA in the UN, told the 15-member Council.
Three days ago, he resumed air bombing and his earthly campaign, arguing that the intention is to press the militants to release the remaining hostages.
Hamas said on Friday that he analyzes the US proposal to restore ceasefire.
Of the more than 250 hostages originally seized in the attack of Hamas to Israel in October 2023 – which triggered the current war in Gaza – 59 remain in the enclave, 24 of which supposedly alive.
Israeli ambassador Danny Danon told the Council that in recent days Israel had “and the Islamic Jihad Palestinian.”
Only on Tuesday, and since then there was no more respite.
“Hamas has a choice,” said Danon. “They can go back to the table and negotiate, or they can wait and see their leadership fall one by one. Let’s not stop until our people come home, all of them.”
French ambassador Jerome Bonnafont has uttered Israel to “unconditionally resume humanitarian aid, stop the bombing, to stick to the logic of negotiations, no matter how slow, and stop responding to cruelty to the triggering of violence.”
