To the world, it's high time to stand against the non-stop assaults Israel's been launching on the Gaza Strip and surrounding regions, Ahmet Yildiz, Turkiye's representative to the UN, asserted on Wednesday. Anadolu news agency relayed the strong words.

"The international community can no longer be a silent spectator to Israel's provocations and transgressions," Yildiz declared before the Security Council. He underscored the gravity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which he labeled as reaching a critical juncture not seen for decades. The human cost has been enormous, with lives lost in their thousands and entire neighborhoods reduced to ruins, as vital infrastructure is leveled.

Yildiz lamented the devastation that includes the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital - a facility constructed by Turkiye for cancer treatment. His concerns extend beyond Gaza, criticizing Israel's actions in Syria, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

"Regionally, Israel disregards Security Council Resolution 2234 by furthering illegal settlements and settler violence, forced displacement, and actions to undermine Jerusalem's status," he stated.

Yildiz proposed a four-point agenda, starting with demanding a swift and uninterrupted ceasefire in Gaza and unrestricted access for humanitarian assistance. He backed Egypt's reconstruction plan, endorsed by the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and reiterated a commitment to a two-state solution, including Palestine's UN membership.

"We implore the Security Council to employ every tool at its disposal, including the enforcement of existing resolutions and drafting of new ones, to tackle our issues," he urged, warning that inactivity would invite harsh judgment from history.

In related news, South Africa has branded Israel's bombardments in Gaza as unprecedented, in violation of international law[3]. The events in Gaza are sparking international appeals for a ceasefire and humanitarian access, all while maintaining pressure on Israel to abide by international humanitarian law and release hostages. World leaders, like Yildiz, are urging decisive Security Council interventions geared toward ending hostilities and addressing humanitarian issues[4].
