Oman welcomes UN Security Council Resolution

The Sultanate of Oman has welcomed the UN Security Council resolution issued today as constituting progress.

But in an official statement the Foreign Ministry adds that the resolution does not meet the broad international consensus calling for a ceasefire.

The statement says that Oman stresses the need to ensure the continuous and effective flow of humanitarian and relief aid to the entire Gaza Strip.

It also renews Oman’s call to the Security Council to carry out its responsibilities in implementing all its resolutions relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict in order to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting peace, based on the two-state solution and an end to the illegal Israeli occupation of Arab lands.
