Benjamin Netanyahu suggests that Israel will have a greater role in Gaza after a possible end to the war. – I think Israel will, for an indefinite period of time, have an overall responsibility for security. When we are not responsible for it, an outbreak of Hamas terror occurs on a scale we could not imagine, says the prime minister to ABC. He says there will also not be any kind of ceasefire without the hostages Hamas took on 7 October being released. – When it comes to tactical breaks, an hour here and an hour there. We’ve had them before. But I don’t think there will be an overarching ceasefire, says Netanyahu. Israel has retaliated against Hamas’ terrorist attack on Saturday 7 October.

After a two-hour long meeting, the 15 countries still did not agree on the wording of a resolution. While the US wants “humanitarian pauses”, many other countries are demanding “humanitarian ceasefires” to bring in much-needed aid and prevent more civilian casualties in Gaza. – We talked about humanitarian pauses, and we are interested in going ahead with that language, but there is disagreement in the council as to whether it is acceptable, says the US’s UN ambassador Robert Wood.

In practice, a resolution cannot be adopted unless all five are in agreement.
