The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomed, today Tuesday, the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2735, proposed by the United States, which "calls for an immediate, complete, and total ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the full withdrawal of Israeli occupying forces from it, the exchange of prisoners and detainees, as well as the safe return of Palestinian civilians to their homes throughout Gaza, while ensuring full access to humanitarian aid."
