US-led Gaza plan raises serious concerns – Russia’s UN envoy
Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia outlined Moscow’s position following the adoption of the US-sponsored resolution on Gaza.
Implementation “falls entirely on its authors”
“The implementation of President Donald Trump's plan falls entirely on its authors and supporters.”
Nebenzia said the US must demonstrate its peacekeeping potential and ensure a settlement consistent with international law, including 1967 borders and Jerusalem as capital of both states.
Russia did not submit its alternative draft
“We decided not to submit our own draft.”
He said Moscow took note of the positions of Ramallah and several Arab states, and that Russia’s text aimed to align the concept with agreed UN resolutions.
Stabilization forces risk becoming a party to the conflict
“The resolution gives the mission peace-binding tasks which may turn it into a party to the conflict.”
“A sad day for the Council”
“That integrity and the Council's prerogative were violated.”
Nebenzia warned the document must not become “a cover for US-Israeli experiments” or a “death sentence for the two-state solution.”
No clarity on transfer of control to Palestinians
“The US draft lacks any clarity regarding the timing of the transfer of control over Gaza to the Palestinian Authority.”
Resolution fails to reaffirm basic principles
“We believed that the resolution had to… confirm the fundamental decisions and principles, primarily the cornerstone two-state solution formula.”
