Israel rejects UN resolution calling for immediate ceasefire
Netanyahu also said, “Even if there is greater pressure, we will go to the end.”
The international community’s calls for a halt to the war are growing, with the United Nations adopting a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but Israel has announced that it will continue the war for several months to destroy Hamas.
According to the Times of Israel (TOI) on the 14th (local time), Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and said, “Hamas is a terrorist organization that has been preparing for decades to fight Israel and has built infrastructure both underground and above ground. “It is not easy to build and destroy,” he said.
“It will take time,” he said. “It will last for months and more, but we will win and we will destroy Hamas.”
The United Nations adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire at an emergency general meeting on the 12th. However, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said, “We will continue the war against Hamas with or without international support.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said the day before, “We will continue until the end, there is no question about that,” and “Nothing can stop us, even if greater pain and international pressure are applied.”
Meanwhile, Advisor Sullivan is scheduled to visit Israel on this day and meet with Defense Minister Gallant, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and President Yitzhak Herzog.
Advisor Sullivan is expected to discuss Israel’s military operations and hostage situation, and press for minimizing civilian casualties and expanding humanitarian aid.
President Joe Biden warned on the 12th that “Israel is losing support due to indiscriminate bombing,” and White House Strategic Communications Coordinator (NSC) John Kirby said that President Biden’s remarks “reflect the reality of international public opinion and “It’s also important,” he said.
