Bin Jama explained, "The Security Council bears primary responsibility for what is currently happening in Gaza, and it must fully implement its relevant resolutions."

He pointed out that "the occupying authority confirms that it will not comply with the orders of the International Court of Justice, and continues to cover up its crimes and killings under what they call grave mistakes," referring to the massacre of bombing the tents of displaced people in Rafah on Sunday, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as a "mistake."

Israel continues this war, ignoring a Security Council resolution demanding that it stop the fighting immediately, and orders from the Court of Justice demanding that it stop its attack on Rafah, and take immediate measures to prevent acts of “genocide” and “improve the humanitarian situation” in Gaza.
