Albana Dautllari said that she voted in favour, joining the call of the Secretary-General and UN agencies to end hostilities on the ground so that humanitarian aid can be delivered. Her delegation supports the text’s clear focus on the protection of civilians and international humanitarian law. She supported a humanitarian ceasefire to save civilians, not to shield Hamas. A ceasefire should not be misused by Hamas to regroup. The Council should start thinking how to hold Hamas accountable for the group’s 7 October attacks. The people of Gaza should reject Hamas.
