UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The United States stressed at the United Nations on Tuesday that “there must be no forcible displacement, nor policy of starvation in Gaza” by Israel, warning that it would have grave implications under U.S. and international law.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that “thanks to intervention by the United States, Israel has taken some important steps” toward addressing “the undisputed humanitarian crisis” in the Palestinian enclave.
“Still, Israel must ensure its actions are fully implemented – and its improvements sustained over time,” she told the U.N. Security Council.
