Taking the initiative, Brazil has put forward an alternative plan to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
The plan primarily focuses on safeguarding civilians while taking into account the concerns of Western nations.
For the first time, Brazil has broken from its past approach and explicitly named Hamas for carrying out “terrorist attacks.”
Serving as the leader of the UN Council for the month of October, Brazil maintains that only a political resolution can truly bring an end to the ongoing crisis.
Alongside this, Brazil emphasizes the immediate need for humanitarian action to alleviate civilian suffering.
Brazil is also pushing for the UN and its Security Council to be at the forefront of resolving the crisis.
The country sees this as a critical moment for the UN, underlining that the organization’s credibility hangs in the balance.
Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira emphasized last Friday that the global community is closely watching the UN’s actions.
Moreover, Brazil is hopeful for fast-paced negotiations between global powers in the days ahead.
The country is keen on seeing a vote take place by next Monday.
To ensure that the plan receives the approval it needs, Brazil is actively working to convince the U.S., Russia, and China not to exercise their veto powers.
Time Is Of The Essence
The end goal is for the ceasefire plan to be officially ratified and implemented, offering a respite to the crisis-stricken area.
With eyes on the clock, Brazil is aware that time is of the essence. The country believes that quick, coordinated action is crucial.
Brazil is also appealing to other countries to offer their support for the plan.
This is seen as a collective effort to bring a halt to hostilities and to lay the groundwork for lasting peace in the region.
