The UAE called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza at the United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) meeting on Monday, saying that the alarming number of children killed in Gaza is a “stain” on the world’s moral conscience.
Lana Nusseibeh, the UAE’s permanent representative to the UN, said that Palestinian lives deserve equal protection, adding that the number of Palestinian children killed in Gaza in the past three weeks has exceeded the total number of children killed in conflicts globally in the past four years.
“That should stain our moral conscience if nothing else does,” she said, referring to the 3,457 children killed in Gaza. “We need a ceasefire now.”The UAE, as the Council’s Arab representative, called for an emergency UNSC meeting on Monday seeking a binding resolution demanding that Israel accepts a humanitarian pause to the fighting in Gaza.
