Concerns remain over Palestinian participation in implementing UN resolution
More from Daniel Forti, the analyst at the International Crisis Group. He told Al Jazeera that concerns about accountability, political oversight, and Palestinian participation in the proposed board of peace and the international stabilisation force were “absolutely valid”.
Still, “we do see this resolution as an opportunity for the entire international community to give a bit more oomph to the ceasefire deal at a moment when everything is quite precarious”, he said.
Diplomacy should not stop here, he said.
“There needs to be considerable attention paid now to how all of these institutions get stood up, even if the Security Council doesn’t have a formal role in this and the US and its Arab partners are using both multilateral fora and bilateral channels to work out some of the finer details of this,” he said.
“Without more political engagement, without a process that is credible to the Palestinians, implementation of any of these provisions is going to be incredibly challenging,” Forti added.
Better than returning to full scale genocide, about the lowest possible you can set the bar, yet that's where we are today.
Malaysia says resolution is ‘important step in the right direction’
Malaysia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement calling on the UN Security Council to ensure the resolution on Gaza is implemented swiftly and thoroughly.
The ministry said that doing so will help to “realise the rights of the Palestinians, including their right to Statehood, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to guarantee the right of return of Palestinian refugees”.
“Malaysia will continue to support all efforts that are grounded in international law and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations towards realising an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the Capital,” the statement added.
