The UN Security Council has other means to enforce peace if a ceasefire is not implemented in Gaza, such as the deployment of peacekeeping contingents, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said on Wednesday.Nebenzia added that the Security Council could revert to the idea of more active involvement by the UN truce supervision organization. The US mission has been a big supporter of Israel within the Council, blocking any resolutions which could complicate Israel’s operations. Israel launched a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip after Hamas attacked the Jewish state on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and abducting some 240 others. Over 34,000 people have been killed so far by Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, according to local authorities.

UNSC Can Deploy Peacekeeping Contingents If Gaza Ceasefire Not Upheld, Russian Envoy Says
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Last week, the UN Security Council (UNSC) convened and discussed the proposed resolution on Palestine’s full membership in the UN. However, the United States, which is a permanent member of the UNSC, cast a veto against adopting the proposed resolution.
The
UN Security Council has other means to enforce peace if a ceasefire is not implemented in Gaza, such as the deployment of peacekeeping contingents, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said on Wednesday.
“If the ceasefire is not complied with, let's discuss concrete measures how we can ensure that it is upheld. The Security Council does have some well-honed algorithms, it has a toolkit, including the deployment of peacekeeping contingents,” Nebenzia told the UN Security Council members during a meeting on Palestine.
Nebenzia added that the Security Council could revert to the idea of more active involvement by the UN truce supervision organization.
The US mission has been a big supporter of Israel within the Council, blocking any resolutions which could complicate Israel’s operations.
