France calls for 'permanent ceasefire' in Gaza after UNSC demands Ramadan truce

After the UN Security Council for the first time demanded a truce in Gaza for the ongoing month of Ramadan, France urges work on a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

“This crisis is not over. Our council will have to remain mobilized and immediately get back to work. After Ramadan, which ends in two weeks, it will have to establish a permanent ceasefire,” says France’s UN representative, Nicolas de Riviere.
