Later today, the United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote on a new resolution advocating a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza.
The council, responsible for upholding global peace, has thus far refrained from endorsing calls for a ceasefire.
In an interview with the BBC’s Today program, Ambassador Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, emphasized that the “solution is with the Security Council.”
He added that Israel has “demolished” rules in war, and now is the time for the world to “enforce these rules.”
“We must stop this normalisation of these horrific scenes that we said never again after the horrors of the Second World War,” Zomlot added – and when asked about Hamas, he reiterated that “we reject the targeting of civilians from any side”.
