“Faced with the intolerable number of victims, we, the heads of state of Egypt, France and Jordan, demand the immediate and unconditional implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2728,” the three heads of state wrote.
That was a reference to the U.N. resolution passed last month demanded a cease-fire throughout the month of Ramadan and required Hamas to release all Israeli hostages.
The article called for a two-state solution as “the only credible option to guarantee peace and security for all and ensure that neither Israelis nor Palestinians have to relive the horrors that have struck them”
Israel-Hamas conflict: Grim toll mounts as Gaza braces for famine
On Oct. 7, Hamas launched an attack on southern Israeli border communities, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people and the capture of over 250 hostages.
Israel claims that out of the 130 hostages still held in Gaza, at least 34 have been confirmed dead.
Since then, over 33,000 Gazans, predominantly civilians, have lost their lives during Israel's offensive in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
The situation in Gaza has reached a critical point, with reports suggesting an imminent famine. Oxfam indicates that 300,000 individuals in the northern region have been surviving on an average of 245 calories per day since January.
Israel refutes allegations of obstructing aid entry or distribution within Gaza. They have instead accused U.N. agencies of failing to ensure that permitted aid reaches those in need.
