RIYADH, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) foreign ministers Sunday regretted the failure of the UN Security Council (UNSC) to adopt a resolution aiming at ending the Israeli occupation aggression on Gaza.
This came in a letter sent by Omani Foreign Minister and President of the Current Session of the GCC Ministerial Council Bader Albusaidi to Brazil’s Permanent Representative at the UN Sergeo Danese whose country holds the current rotating presidency of the UNSC.
GCC Secretary-General Jassem Al-Budaiwi said the letter covered a recently announced GCC pledge worth USD 100 million to offer relief aid to the Gaza Strip.
He voiced the council’s willingness to continue working with the UNSC to adopt a resolution that would put an end to international resolutions, treaties and laws, including UNSC Resolution 242/338, which reflects international consensus on the bi-state solution.
He quoted the GCC foreign ministers as having expressed readiness to meet with Brazil’s permanent representative and UNSC members in New York in this regard.
He also quoted him as having underlined the necessity of ceasing hostilities, observing international law and international humanitarian law and immediately releasing hostages and detainees. (end) ast.mt
