Cairo, March 26, 2024, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit Applauds UN Security Council's Historic Ceasefire Resolution for Gaza
In a significant development, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has welcomed the adoption of a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. This landmark resolution, the first of its kind to be passed by the UNSC, garnered support from 14 council members, with the United States choosing to abstain.
Aboul Gheit highlighted the significance of this resolution, emphasizing that it represents a notable shift in the international community's stance regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Notably, the decision by the United States to refrain from exercising its veto power underscores this shift, marking a departure from previous dynamics.
The Secretary-General stressed the importance of concerted international efforts moving forward to effectively implement the ceasefire resolution. He emphasized the need for collaborative action aimed at bringing an end to the tragic bloodshed that has plagued the region.
Furthermore, Aboul Gheit reiterated the imperative for the resolution's implementation to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its actions and ensure that it fulfills its responsibilities. This includes addressing and rectifying any alleged crimes committed during the conflict.
The adoption of this resolution signals a crucial step towards achieving peace and stability in Gaza, and Aboul Gheit's remarks reflect the Arab League's commitment to supporting diplomatic initiatives aimed at resolving the longstanding conflict in the region.
