A special meeting of the UN Security Council was held on Wednesday evening to review developmes in the West Asian region.
According to Isna, a special meeting of the UN Security Council was held on Wednesday evening to review the developmes in the West Asian region.
At the beginning of this meeting, Switzerland’s ambassador to the United Nations, who has assumed the rotating presidency of the Security Council, called for maiaining respect for existing differences of opinion.
Israel rejected the ceasefire offer
“Aonio Guterres”, the Secretary General of the United Nations, said at the beginning of his speech: “The fires of tension in the Middle East are getting out of corol. Last week I warned about the situation in the region, but this crisis has become much worse. In the General Assembly meeting, I announced that the daily exchange of fire between Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Israel violates UN Treaty 1701 and other UN treaties.
He added: “Lebanon’s territorial iegrity should be respected and its governme should have corol over all weapons in this coury.” “In the past days, we have seen an unprecedeed escalation of tensions, and now we have to ask ourselves what exactly is the purpose of the Security Council and its mechanism to impleme the 1701 Treaty.”
Referring to the crimes of the Zionist regime, the UN Secretary General said: “Israeli forces are carrying out iense air attacks against Lebanon and Beirut. America, France and many couries proposed a ceasefire, and Israel, after opposing this proposal, bombarded Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut and iensified its attacks.
He added: “Yesterday, Israel claimed the start of a limited operation and began its ground attack against Lebanon. UNIFIL peacekeeping forces have remained in place against Israel’s will, and their security must be maiained.”
“Civilians are suffering and I strongly condemn this issue,” Guterres said. “Since last October, more than a thousand Lebanese have been killed in Lebanon, many of whom were women and children.”
He added: “Nearly one million people have been displaced and many have taken refuge in Syria. “The United Nations is using all its capabilities to help Lebanon and send humanitarian packages to this coury.”
The Secretary General of the United Nations stated: “We must preve a full-scale war in Lebanon. Since October 8, Hezbollah attacks against Israel have left 49 dead and 60,000 displaced. “If war breaks out in Lebanon, the consequences will be irreparable.”
Guterres said, “Yesterday, Iran fired nearly 200 missiles against Israel.” According to Iran, Iran’s goal was to avenge the death of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, and Abbas Nilfroushan in Lebanon, and millions of people in Israel and occupied Palestine were forced to flee to shelters.
He condemned this attack and said: “Similar to Iran’s missile attack in April, I condemn this attack.”
Guterres claimed: “This attack was not carried out in order to defend the rights of Palestinians.”
Nevertheless, he said: “Since October 7, Israel has carried out the most severe attacks against the Gaza Strip and is iensifying its attacks, its operations and occupation in the West Bank and the destruction of the two-state solution.”
Guterres also stated: “Despite all these issues, the Palestinian resistance has coinued its operations.”
He said: “Last year’s developmes are a confirmation of the urge need to achieve a ceasefire and impleme the two-state solution.”
Guterres said about Lebanon: “Treaties of 1701 and 1559 must be implemeed and tensions must stop. “The time has come to stop the tension after the tension in the Middle East, and every stage of tension has been used as an excuse to escalate the tension.”
He added: “Ignoring the UN treaties should not coinue.”
France demanded Iran’s restrai
The represeative of France in the Security Council said in a special meeting of this council to review developmes in the region: “France condemns Iran’s ballistic attacks. “We se our forces to the region to couer Iran’s attacks.”
He further called for Iran’s restrai and not to carry out new attacks and said: “France also condemns yesterday’s terrorist attack in Israel.”
The represeative of France coinued: “The situation in Lebanon is serious. Israeli forces violated the coury’s territorial iegrity by attacking Lebanon, and Hezbollah coinues its attacks against Israel.
He added: “We are against any ground attack on Lebanon. “France condemns Israel’s airstrikes against Lebanon, which have resulted in the killing of civilians, and Hezbollah’s attacks against Israel.”
The represeative of France stated: “We ask Israel to accept the proposal of France and its allies for a ceasefire. The 1701 treaty must be implemeed in Lebanon. All displaced citizens in Lebanon and Israel must return to their homes. “All parties must also guaraee the security of UNIFIL peacekeeping forces.”
He we on to discuss the Gaza crisis and said: “France also emphasizes the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, full access of Gazan civilians to humanitarian aid, the release of prisoners and efforts to achieve a two-state solution.” The time has come to unite the Security Council. “We must show that the Security Council was peace and de-escalation.”
British support for the Zionist regime
While expressing the unconditional support of the British governme to the Zionist regime and the security of this occupying regime, the represeative of the United Kingdom in the United Nations said at the beginning of his speech at the special meeting of the Security Council to review the rece developmes in West Asia: “The United Kingdom is against Iran’s actions and its attack on Israel. strongly condemns “Iran has fired more than 200 ballistic missiles against Israel, this action will iensify the curre dangerous situation.”
He added: “As the British Prime Minister has announced, we support Israel against Iran.”
The British represeative coinued, while ignoring the crimes of the Zionist regime and the developmes in the region, in hostile statemes, he said: “The conditions in Lebanon and the eire region are critical. All our efforts should be focused on stopping these tensions. We ask Iran and its allies to exercise restrai. The British Foreign Minister has always called for a ceasefire in Lebanon and a stop to Israeli and Lebanese attacks.
He added: “We support the implemeation of the 1701 treaty in Lebanon, the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners. “UK calls on Israel and Hamas to agree to a ceasefire and choose peace to end this crisis.”
He stated: “Peace is a brave choice. The best option to maiain the security stability of Israelis, Lebanese and Palestinians and the eire region is peace. The British Prime Minister is trying to gain support for a political solution. “Only peace in Gaza and Lebanon can lead to peace and the return of Lebanese and Israeli citizens to their homes.”
The British Permane Represeative to the United Nations said: “The conflict in Lebanon has had irreparable consequences against women and children and has pushed the region towards an all-out war. “We must not allow Lebanon to become another Gaza.”
He stated: “All parties must respect iernational laws and preve killing and harming civilians.”
The British represeative also called for restrai from all parties in the region and a concerated effort to achieve a ceasefire and peace in the region.
America’s hostile statemes against Iran
The Permane Represeative of the United States to the United Nations condemned Iran’s missile attacks against the Zionist regime and said: “The United States condemns the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ missile attack on Israel.”
The American represeative further claimed: “The Security Council must condemn Iran’s unilateral action.” Iran has been an accomplice in the October 7 attack by training Hamas and providing financial resources to this group, and after the attack by Hamas, America se a serious warning to Iran and demanded that Iran not use this situation. But the army has ignored this warning. With the encourageme of Yemen’s Houthis, maritime trade has suffered a crisis and Israel has been the target of their attacks.
He claimed: “Iran, with the encourageme of the Iraqi and Syrian forces, the American forces, has been the target of attacks by these forces, and by encouraging and supporting Hezbollah, Tehran made Nasrallah target Israel after October 7. There is no doubt that Iran’s support for its proxy forces has caused the crisis in Lebanon and Gaza.
While ignoring the crimes of the Zionist regime and supporting this occupying regime, the American represeative said: “At the core of Iran’s efforts to escalate tension in the region and create chaos is the IRGC. The IRGC and its allies are spreading their propaganda. The IRGC’s missile attack, which fired 200 missiles at Israel, did not take place in defense of Iran. Rather, the IRGC is cooperating with Hezbollah. The Security Council should impose wider sanctions against the IRGC.”
The American represeative added: “If the Security Council does not take a serious decision, the IRGC will coinue its attacks.” “We are exposed to the occurrence of an all-out war in the region.”
Without referring to the attacks of the Zionist regime on Lebanon, he said: “In rece weeks, many civilians have been killed in Lebanon. Israel has always called for an end to Hezbollah’s attacks. Despite the Lebanese governme’s desire for Hezbollah to withdraw, this group has opposed and preveed the implemeation of the 1701 treaty, and despite all these developmes, Israel still was to impleme this treaty.
The represeative of the United States claimed: “The United States supports the diplomatic solution and this issue remains the priority of the United States.” “The implemeation of the 1701 treaty is the only way to de-escalate the curre situation and return Israeli and Lebanese citizens to their homes.”
In his remarks, he meioned the crimes of the occupying regime, which have resulted in the martyrdom of thousands of Lebanese, and said: “We ask all parties to protect the lives of civilians.”
The American represeative coinued to talk about Gaza and said: “The United States will not spare any efforts to achieve a cessation of war in Gaza. In this regard, we are trying to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners in line with Security Council Treaty 2735. Last week’s developmes should send a clear message to Hamas leaders hiding in their tunnels. “Hezbollah and Iran will not save you and the only way now is a ceasefire.”
He added: “The United States will coinue to support Israel’s right to defend itself against the terrorist forces supported by Iran.” Of course, how Israel defends itself against these threats is importa. Israel must minimize civilian casualties. As the Preside of the United States has stated, Washington will always and fully support Israel. “All our actions have been defensive.”
The American represeative claimed: “We warn Iran and its proxies against new actions against Israel or American forces, and the Security Council must condemn Iran for supporting terrorism.” The time has come for Iran’s Security Council to be held accouable for its actions. The resides of Israel, Lebanon, the eire region and the West Bank and Gaza deserve a ceasefire.”
Russian represeative: Israel is responsible for the consequences of the escalation of tension in the region
Russia’s Permane Represeative to the United Nations as well In the special meeting of the Security Council regarding the review of regional developmes, he said: “Regarding the expansion of the scope of the conflict to Lebanon, the tensions in the Middle East have reached an unprecedeed level. Unfortunately, West Asia is moving towards an all-out war, and the Security Council is standing idly by. Despite the request of the iernational community to stop Israel’s attacks in Gaza, Israel has coinued its brutal operations in this strip.
He added: “Instead of using diplomacy, Israel is gambling on its military capability. Israeli authorities believe that they can use military capabilities to deal with any issue, and their American partners, with their support for Israel, have preveed any serious action by the Security Council, and Lebanon has become the latest victim of Israel’s war machine.
The Permane Represeative of Russia to the United Nations added: “After the artillery attack on Lebanese cities, Israel has started its ground operations against this coury. On the other hand, with the political assassination of the leaders of the resistance such as Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah and other senior officials of the resistance, Iran has eered the conflict.
He stated: “In such a sensitive situation, Iran showed great self-restrai for 2 mohs. But the statemes of our western couerparts have been expressed as if the only issue facing the Security Council is dealing with Iran’s missile attack on Israel. In such a situation and with such a unilateral view, how can the Security Council play a role in reaching a diplomatic solution? The eves have been explained as if the developmes in the region happened alone, separately and completely unrelated to each other.”
The represeative of Russia added: “However, the developmes in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and Yemen did not happen by themselves and all of them led to the curre dangerous situation in West Asia. Russia strongly condemns Israel’s attack on Lebanon and demands the withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon. There is no justification for killing civilians in Lebanon. “We express our sympathy to the citizens and governme of Lebanon.”
Russia also demanded the implemeation of the 1701 UN Treaty, the cessation of Israeli attacks and Israel’s occupation of Lebanon in line with this treaty, and the withdrawal of Hezbollah forces.
The represeative of Russia in the United Nations added: “Russia also condemns Nasrallah’s political assassination.” The confirmation of this operation by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York and in the UN building after his speech would not have been possible without the support of the United States.
He stated: “Washington has provided Israel with billions of weapons, and Tel Aviv has killed more than 42,000 Palestinians using these weapons.” Israel used 80 one-ton bombs to assassinate Nasrallah and razed 6 buildings to the ground. Israel knew that Nasrallah’s assassination would have far-reaching consequences and did it deliberately. “The consequences of such tension-causing actions are Israel’s responsibility.”
The represeative of Russia added: “We are all obliged to try to achieve a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution. Tehran has announced that it is not looking for escalation of tension or to observe the iensification of tensions. Due to its inability to achieve peace and de-escalation of the Gaza war, the Security Council is quite rightly the target of widespread criticism. 14 of the 15 couries of the Security Council wa peace, and the Israelis would not be comfortable with violating iernational laws without the support of the United States.
He stated: “Israel is fully supported and protected by the United States.” Washington has vetoed several attempts at a ceasefire through the Security Council and, in an attempt to mislead the iernational community, claimed that Biden was trying to achieve a ceasefire. But let me state clearly, considering the lack of peace in the region, it can be said that America is negotiating with itself.”
The represeative of Russia added: “Israel does not demand a ceasefire or negotiations and coinues its attacks. The curre tension is spreading. According to the Israeli authorities, the fire of conflict and war will not bother them, but this fire has cost the lives of Israeli prisoners, and the Israeli authorities pretend that all these eves are according to their plan and have even ignored the opinions of Israeli citizens.
He clarified: “Another illusion of Israeli officials is that they have the necessary military capability to deal with crises created by themselves, but it is clear that Israel seeks to create a direct war between Iran and America.” In the eve of such a war, the whole world will be in danger, Russia was to preve this eve, and we hope that our American couerparts will also understand this fact and fulfill their responsibility as a member of the Security Council to preve this crisis. »
The represeative of Russia stated: “The only way to de-escalate West Asia is to use the tools of the Security Council. “There is no hope of achieving an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners and access to humanitarian aid for the citizens of Gaza without the Security Council.”
He stated: “An immediate ceasefire must be adopted in Lebanon as well. Israel’s criticism of the United Nations and the Secretary General of the United Nations is an insult to all the couries of the United Nations, and the Security Council must deal with this issue. The only way to manage this issue is to have political will. Russia has sufficie political will, do other member states of the Security Council also have this political will to manage the Middle East crisis?
China: Israel is violating the territorial iegrity of Lebanon
The Permane Represeative of China to the United Nations added in the special meeting of the Security Council regarding the developmes in the region: “In the last 2 weeks, the situation in the Middle East, especially in Lebanon, has become much more dangerous. The explosion of thousands of wireless communication devices by Israel, the coury’s airstrikes against Lebanon, and finally the beginning of Israel’s ground attack against Lebanon last day, have all fueled the widespread escalation of tensions.
He added: “In this regard, while preseing its explanation about its rece missile operations against Israel, Iran has targeted military targets in Israel. China is very concerned about developmes in the Middle East and we demand that all couries respect each other’s territorial iegrity. “Any ground attack on Lebanon violates the territorial iegrity of this coury and the 1701 Treaty of the Security Council.”
The represeative of China stated: “Since October 7 of last year, the situation in the Middle East has worsened day by day, and Israel, ignoring the iernational community’s request for a cease-fire in Gaza, has coinued its attacks and escalated tensions, which risks spreading the war and turning it io a war. It is looking for a region.”
He added: “At this mome, the risk of a regional war is serious, and hostile, unilateral statemes are very dangerous and can easily accelerate the process of war. “China calls on all sides, especially Israel, to show restrai and not take any aggressive action.”
The represeative of China stated: “Gaza has become a hell on earth and thousands of civilians have been killed in Lebanon and at least one million Lebanese citizens have been displaced. “All parties must respect iernational law and defend civilians.”
He added: “The Security Council bears the heavy responsibility of ensuring the security of the iernational community, and in the curre situation, the Council should adopt an iegrated approach and call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, de-escalation in Lebanon and preve the escalation of tensions.” The cycle of violence must be stopped and the ierested parties must adopt diplomatic approaches and refrain from making belligere statemes that coain dangerous military messages.”
The represeative of China stated: “We hope that influeial couries will adopt a more constructive policy.”
Lebanon: The way to deal with the occupation is resistance
The represeative of Lebanon in the United Nations said in the special meeting of the United Nations Security Council regarding the developmes in the region, which was held today at the request of France: “Today, we have gathered in this council that the Middle East is burning in the fire of tension and Lebanon and Gaza are the targets of Israeli attacks. And they don’t have good conditions.”
He added: “The Israeli governme and its cabinet have praised the ground attack on Lebanon that began yesterday evening. Israel’s attack on Lebanon comes after 11 mohs of crimes in Gaza. In the last 11 mohs, Israel has not hesitated to attack civilians, aid workers, women, children, journalists and any infrastructure in Gaza. On October 8 of last year, Israel killed and injured thousands of civilians in an act that clearly violates iernational law and the UN Charter.
The represeative of Lebanon stated: “What Israel iroduces as a limited operation is nothing more than a lie, the damage caused and the killings are proof of the denial of Israel’s claim.” Israel’s crimes in Lebanon are a reminder of Israel’s past crimes in Lebanon. Israel has always ignored iernational laws, the UN Charter and even the treaties of the Security Council. Words have lost their value and meaning. Several times, Lebanon had warned about the critical situation in southern Lebanon. “We warned several times about the possibility of the curre war and stated that this war could turn io a regional war.”
He added: “The policy of ignoring Israel’s crimes and mass killings cannot coinue. Thousands of Lebanese citizens have been displaced and are fleeing from Israel’s crimes and its rockets. Israel has expanded its atrocities against Beirut. In one day, Israel killed 569 Lebanese, including dozens of women and children, with its airstrikes. They also martyred the Secretary General of Hezbollah. The Security Council is fragmeed. But you all know that the only way to deal with the occupation is resistance.”
The represeative of Lebanon stated: “As we have meioned before, the citizens of Lebanon and the governme of Lebanon demand the implemeation of the 1701 treaty, and we wa to send our army to South Lebanon with the support of UNIFIL, and the governme is recruiting 15,000 new soldiers.” Lebanon agreed to the French and American plan for a ceasefire. Israel initially agreed to this plan, but after the assassination of Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and resorting to indiscriminate killing, it completely destroyed this proposal.
He added: “We demand the implemeation of all clauses of this proposal. We support the request of the couries to impleme the 1701 treaty. Today, we are approaching a large-scale war, and the only solution is the implemeation of iernational treaties, and if we turn to military approaches, the Palestinian issue will not be solved and tensions will only expand. The independe state of Palestine should be established and the Security Council should fulfill its responsibility to preve a large-scale war.
The represeative of Lebanon stated: “Lebanon is facing a massive crisis and needs the help of the United Nations.” Millions of people have been displaced without access to medicine, water and food, and we need the help of the iernational community and the United Nations to manage this crisis. Our history with Israel is iertwined with Israeli attacks and occupation. Israel’s aggression today will lead to Israel’s defeat, just like in the past. The olive trees that Israel burned with its phosphorus bombs will grow again. Today, Lebanon is between Israel’s war machine and the ambitions of some couries in the region.
In the end, he stated: “Lebanon deserves to live.”
