UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Thor Vennesland welcomed Last night, a truce was reached between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (YIP). which ended with a five-day military escalation that left 35 people dead.
“I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel”Vennesland said in a statement calling on all parties to respect the cessation of hostilities and congratulating Egypt, which acted as mediator, “for its efforts to restore calm.”
In the same time, He was “deeply saddened” by the dead and wounded what happened after those days of intense shooting, and regretted that among them were “children and women.”
He also added that he hoped rapid “immediate restoration of humanitarian access” and the implementation of “all social and economic measures to support the livelihoods of the Palestinians in Gaza”.
The only power generator in the Strip, home to 2.5 million residents, was running out of fuel and hospitals were failing. The damage to infrastructure in the enclave is significant, as 100 buildings were destroyed, many of them houses.and the only hospital in the center was badly damaged.
This morning, Israel announced the gradual reopening of the Erez crossing. and the commercial Kerem Shalom crossing with Gaza, through which needed humanitarian aid can flow for the enclave.
From Tuesday Israel successfully attacked 371 YIP targets -including members’ homes and military installations-, while the Islamist group fired 1,234 rounds from the Strip – rockets and mortars – most of which landed on uninhabited terrain or were intercepted by anti-aircraft systems.
This morning, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen assured that the military operation “Shield and Arrow” that Israel conducted in the enclave “passed the test” in the eyes of the international community.
“An analysis of the international reaction (public and secret) shows that Israel has received widespread support for its right to self-defence.”in contrast to the “widespread condemnation of rocket attacks” on Israeli territory from Gaza, Cohen said.
