JAKARTA - Palestine welcomed the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) which demands Israel to end restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the resolution affirms the supremacy of international law and the multilateral system in the face of policies that violate the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.
The resolution is said to be an appropriate international response to Israel's actions against the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) as well as other UN organizations operating in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The resolution, the statement continued, strengthens the role of the United Nations in protecting the Palestinian people and reaffirms the obligation of the occupying power, in particular the opening of humanitarian corridors and the cessation of actions that hinder the work of UN agencies, especially in Gaza.
The Ministry also stressed that the importance of this resolution lies in its immediate and full implementation and in the legal and moral responsibility of the international community.
The latest draft UN resolution demands that Israel allow full humanitarian access to Gaza, respect the immunity of UN facilities, and comply with its obligations under international law.
The resolution is also a response to the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) latest advisory opinion outlining Israel's obligations as an occupying power and as a UN member state.
The resolution proposed by Norway together with more than 12 other countries was supported by 139 countries, with 12 countries against and 19 abstaining.

Even though the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, life conditions in Gaza have not improved, because Israel continues to impose strict restrictions on the entry of aid trucks. This action violates the humanitarian protocol in the ceasefire agreement.
Israel has killed more than 70,000 people, mostly women and children, and wounded more than 171,000 in its offensive in Gaza since October 2023, which continues despite a ceasefire.
