During a United Nations Security Council meeting, Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, criticized US President Donald Trump's peace plan for the Gaza Strip, stating it remains largely theoretical and unfulfilled. Six months after the UN Security Council passed Resolution 2803 in support of the plan, Nebenzya pointed out that while Israel's demands regarding hostages and deceased bodies have been met, crucial provisions such as a ceasefire, humanitarian aid deliveries, and the establishment of a technocratic governing committee have not been implemented. The situation in the region has deteriorated, particularly following the surprise attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in military operations by Israel aimed at dismantling Hamas' structures. A ceasefire agreement was reached on October 10, allowing for a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from central Gaza areas, yet Israel continues to control over 50% of the territory. Nebenzya's remarks underscore the ongoing complexities and challenges in achieving lasting peace in the region.
