The tension in the Gaza Strip continue and enter Israel and the terrorist group Hamas did not cease fire. In this framework, the Argentine Foreign Ministry requested the release of the hostages in that country, but they have not had a successful response. As if that were not enough, from Palestine they intensified the bombings and the Israelis defended themselves from the advance, but the National government He did not consider this appropriate and repudiated him.
Through his chancellor, Santiago Cafiero, the Government stressed that “the civilian population, particularly women, children and the elderly, is the one most affected by this conflict. Likewise, the increase in violence in the West Bank is worrying. Argentina has condemned in unequivocal terms the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 and recognizes Israel’s right to self-defense. However, nothing justifies the violation of international humanitarian lawand the obligation to protect the civilian population in armed conflicts, without making any distinction.
«Our country therefore condemns the attack by the Israel Defense Forces against the Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza, which left hundreds dead and injured. It is essential to immediately stop attacks directed against civilian infrastructure, especially that intended to guarantee the provision of essential services in the Gaza Strip, including hospitals, water desalination plants and centers intended to host refugees,” they stated from the national government.
Furthermore, they pointed out that “Argentina reiterates that the hostages, who remain victims of armed actions, must be released unconditionally and without delay by Hamas” and that “the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce, leading to the cessation of hostilities.
“Argentina voted in favor and continues to support this request, and reiterates its serious concern about the consequences of the escalation of violence, while remembering that there cannot be an armed solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” they concluded in a statement received harsh criticism from the opposition in recent hours.
Javier Milei got into the conflict
