UNITED NATIONS — The Palestinian Authority’s representative to the UN calls the Security Council resolution demanding more aid deliveries to Gaza “a step in the right direction,” but reiterates calls for an immediate ceasefire.

“This resolution is a step in the right direction — it must be implemented and must be accompanied by massive pressure for an immediate ceasefire. I repeat, immediate ceasefire,” says Riyad Mansour.
