Belarusian MFA comments on UN Security Council’s emergency meeting
MINSK, 2 August (BelTA) — Belarus is on board with the position of Russia, China and Algeria that supported the request to convene UN Security Council’s emergency meeting over the killing of Hamas political bureau chief on 31 July 2024, reads a a statement from the press service of the Ministry of foreign Affairs.
“Unfortunately, the refusal of certain members of the Security Council to support a statement regarding this political assassination nullifies the efforts of international mediators to defuse the situation in the Middle East, threatens the region with yet another round of dangerous escalation and moves further away the prospects for resolving the conflict in Gaza, which claims dozens and hundreds of lives every day, including innocent civilians and children.
The Belarusian side continues to insist that achieving peace and stability in the long-suffering Middle East region is possible only through dedicated diplomatic efforts by all parties involved.
