Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia has called on the United Nations to consider imposing sanctions on Israel over its non-compliance with obligatory resolutions passed by the Security Council.
He noted that UNSC Resolution 2728 demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, and this had not been implemented by Israel.
“We remind you once again that non-compliance with mandatory Security Council resolutions must lead to sanctions against violators. We believe that the Council should consider this issue without delay,” Nebenzia said on Thursday during a UN Security Council meeting.
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne also called for sanctions on Israel earlier this month. In February, Paris sanctioned 28 Israeli nationals, though the French government has not published their names.
The Hamas ceasefire resolution was adopted by the Security Council on March 25 in a vote of 14 in favor to none against, with the US abstaining. The document demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and for humanitarian access to Gaza to be ensured.
The delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza is nearly impossible at the moment, Nebenzia said, pointing to data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which demonstrates that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are currently blocking half of the humanitarian convoys heading to the region.

When, if ever, should international humanitarian concerns override national sovereignty?
@9LN69FX2wks2W
Almost always, unless it harms the efforts made to help humanity.
It's long overdue. Israel needs to be severely sanctioned. But the sad reality is that the West is a bunch of hypocrites. They turn a blind eye to Israeli atrocities on the people Palestine. For almost 80 years, Palestinians have been under oppression.
This is something the western mainstream media should be telling you.
But they won't.
Peace in Ukraine could have been achieved if NATO expansion had been removed as an option.
The assertion that Putin desires to conquer all of Europe is just a fabricated lie to rationalize continuous funding.
If iran can face sanctions why not israel....
At least Muslim countries can boycott them
the UN Security Council is aiding Israel and USA committing genocide in Gaza Strip! They should invoke a preemptive strike against those terrorist States!
