The Sultanate of Oman expressed its regret over the UN Security Council’s failure to issue a resolution for ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, as a result of the repeated use of veto that hampered the resolution.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry today, Oman reiterated its plea for the international community and the Security Council to facilitate all initiatives to implement an immediate ceasefire in the region. It urged the Security Council not to stand in the way of peace.

Oman also urged friendly countries to put into practice their positions and statements that support the establishment of peace. It called upon all ‘to translate those positions into a just humanitarian reality’.
