and the prevention of all means of life for millions of Palestinians, it requires a higher ceiling that the text of the resolution did not reach.

Although this resolution included a request to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid.

and prevent the forced displacement of Palestinians, it overlooked a number of important issues.

Such as: the absence of a clear and strong condemnation of war crimes and genocide crimes committed.

by the occupying forces – the failure to demand that the occupier be held accountable for his crimes .

the lack of a clear demand for an immediate cessation of aggression.

in addition to equating the executioner with the victim.

Tunisia also called for a vote on a text that would not further exacerbate the situation.

and deepen the suffering of the Palestinians.

and frank condemnation of the occupation forces’ attacks on the Palestinian people.

They are constant in their position and do not accept their absence from a decision .

in such an exceptional and dangerous situation.
