“Finally!” exclaimed several elected officials from La France insumise on their social networks. For the first time after five months of conflict, the Security Council votes in favor of an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza.
A decision welcomed with enthusiasm by numerous Insoumis elected officials who announce that they will not “release the pressure” and are now calling for mobilization on Saturday, March 30.
It was time
“It took five months and the beginning of a genocide” for this resolution to fall, underlines in X (ex Twitter) the leader of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot.
“Finally!”, declare on X too the head of the list in the European elections, Manon Aubry, the deputies Danielle Simonnet, Sarah Legrain and the essential face of the party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
In addition to Manon Aubry, the LFI included the Franco-Palestinian activist Rima Hassan on its list, making the Palestinian issue an essential issue of the June election campaign. And now he is forcing his opponents to take a position on the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
Now some facts
“Vigilance and mobilization,” added Mélenchon, who asks that the events continue from now on. “Will Netanyahu, who called the UN an anti-Semitic organization, submit?” he asks.
He “must submit to it immediately,” reaction to the deputy for Val-d’Oise Paul Vannier.
Deputy Danièle Obono calls on “all States” to adopt “immediate measures” to ensure that this ceasefire “is effective”, “starting with the end of the sale of weapons to Israel”.
However, few of their reactions mention the second part of the message of this UN Security Council resolution.
The international entity demands “an immediate ceasefire during the month of Ramadan that leads to a lasting ceasefire,” as well as “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.”
On the contrary, the few reactions from other political forces, such as Renaissance, have expressly highlighted it.
“For an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages” commented Éleonore Caroit, majority member, vice-president of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
This UN vote was welcomed by Hamas, which said it was ready for a prisoner exchange with Israel.
