2023-10-26

Xinhua News Agency's foreign correspondent reported that the United Nations Security Council held a high-level meeting on the situation between Palestine and Israel on the 24th. UN Secretary General Guterres once again called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to alleviate the enormous suffering caused by the conflict. Some countries and institutions are calling for more aid to enter the Gaza Strip. Guterres stated at the meeting that the current situation in the Middle East is "constantly deteriorating" and requires an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to make the delivery of aid more convenient and safe, while also facilitating the release of hostages. The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Vineslan, has warned that there is a risk of the current tension between Palestine and Israel spilling over to a wider region. It is crucial that, as a united international community, we make every collective effort to end the bloody conflict and prevent further escalation of hostilities. "The Palestinian Gaza Strip health department issued a statement on the 24th, stating that Israeli military attacks on the Gaza Strip have resulted in 5791 deaths and 16297 injuries. In the past 24 hours, Israeli military attacks on Gaza have resulted in 704 deaths. In addition, 12 hospitals and 32 medical centers in the Gaza Strip have stopped serving due to damage or lack of fuel, leading to a "complete collapse" of local hospitals. On the 24th, Palestinian President Abbas called for a "complete ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip and the long-term opening of humanitarian corridors to provide basic supplies such as water, food, and fuel to the people of Gaza during a meeting with French President Macron in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Abbas condemned the killing of civilians by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel, and expressed his refusal to force Palestinians to leave their homes. Makron visited Israel and Palestine on the same day. He called for avoiding the escalation of the regional situation, complying with the laws of war, and ensuring the smooth flow of humanitarian aid. Marcon stated that France's position is that "there are two countries that can coexist". Only when the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to possess territory and establish a state is recognized, and the Palestinian people and their government recognize the importance of the Israeli state and its existence and security, can there be lasting peace. On the 24th, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati inspected the troops stationed at the southern border of Lebanon and went to the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon to meet with Major General Lazaro, the head of the mission and commander of the force. Mikati called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and demanded that Israel stop its continuous violations of Lebanese sovereignty. Russian President Putin and Türkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a telephone conversation on the 24th. Both sides emphasize that attacks on residential areas, religious and social public facilities are unacceptable, and Russia and Turkey have a consistent position on the Palestinian Israeli issue, leaning towards implementing the two state plan to establish an independent Palestinian state coexisting with Israel in peace and security. On the 23rd, EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Borrelli, stated at the EU Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in Luxembourg that a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip must be avoided as much as possible. He called for an increase in the number and speed of convoys, and stated the need to provide medicine, food, and fuel to the Gaza Strip. Dutch Prime Minister Luther stated on social media on the 23rd that the situation in the Gaza Strip is very tragic and urgent humanitarian assistance must be urgently provided as soon as possible
