The UNSC must act now on Israel’s invasion of Palestine
The UN Security Council may, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, determine the existence of a threat to the peace and to decide what measures shall be taken to maintain or restore international peace and security.
In recent days, we have been informed that cruise missiles and drones were launched from Yemen in the direction of Israel but were shot down by the US Navy and that Israeli warplanes have struck targets inside Syria after rockets were launched towards northern Israel.
Meanwhile 7,000 people, about a third of whom were children, are said to have been killed inside Gaza and many hundreds of civilians including children have been murdered inside Israel.
This has surely reached a situation of such seriousness that action under Chapter VII must be taken now to prevent this triggering a regional conflict and far greater suffering and loss of life.
