The United States stresses at the United Nations that “there must be no forcible displacement, nor policy of starvation in Gaza” by Israel, warning that this would have grave implications under US and international law.
US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield says that “thanks to intervention by the United States, Israel has taken some important steps” toward addressing “the undisputed humanitarian crisis” in the Strip.
“Still, Israel must ensure its actions are fully implemented — and its improvements sustained over time,” she tells the UN Security Council.
