Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre's comments in connection with the UN Security Council's decision on the situation in Gaza.
"It is both important and high time that the UN Security Council has now adopted a clear demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, for the just over two weeks that now remain of Ramadan. Now this resolution must be implemented on the ground without delay.
The situation in Gaza is untenable. It is worth noting how the Security Council now characterises what is happening in Gaza as a catastrophic humanitarian situation. At the same time, the resolution stresses that the hostages must be released. Israel must now allow humanitarian aid to reach its destination, and Hamas must release the hostages without delay."
Remarks from the Norwegian Prime Minister on the UN Security Council resolution
«It is both critical and long-awaited that the UN Security Council today has passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, for the remaining two weeks of Ramadan. Now this resolution must be implemented on the ground without delay.
The situation in Gaza is unbearable. It is worth noting that the Security Council describes it as a "catastrophic humanitarian situation". Simultaneously, the resolution calls for an immediate release of the hostages. It is crucial that Israel now lets in more humanitarian assistance to all of Gaza, and that Hamas without delay releases all the hostages."
