Israel accused 120 countries that adopted a resolution at the United Nations to establish a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip of “despicableness,” declaring its categorical rejection of any call for a ceasefire.

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said - via the X platform - that Israel categorically rejects any call for a ceasefire in Gaza, adding that they intend to eliminate the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) completely, just as the world dealt with the Nazis and the Islamic State, as he put it. .

Cohen denounced the United Nations resolution calling for an immediate, stable and sustainable humanitarian truce, describing it as "shameful."

120 countries voted in favor of the resolution and 14 countries voted against it, with 45 countries abstaining from voting, including Germany.

The decision document called for by Jordan was put to a vote in an emergency session to discuss the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip that has been ongoing for 3 weeks, after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by the Palestinian resistance.

The vote on the resolution coincided with Israel cutting off all communications from the Gaza Strip and launching unprecedented raids, described as the most violent since the beginning of the war.

The Israeli aggression on Gaza resulted in the death and injury of thousands, most of them women and children, amid a power outage and the prevention of the entry of fuel, which limits the work of the health sector, which has been declared completely collapsed.
