In a joint statement released today, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, alongside leaders from New Zealand and Canada, called for a “sustainable ceasefire” ahead of a crucial United Nations vote.
The leaders stressed the urgent need for a cessation of hostilities in the conflict-stricken region, emphasizing the importance of diplomatic efforts to find a lasting solution.
The statement highlighted the devastating humanitarian toll of the ongoing conflict and the need to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians caught in the crossfire. Albanese, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged all parties involved to lay down their arms and engage in meaningful dialogue.
The leaders also pledged their support for the United Nations’ peacekeeping efforts and offered to provide humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the conflict.
As the UN vote approaches, the international community watches closely to see if this call for a “sustainable ceasefire” will garner enough support to lead to a significant breakthrough in the conflict.
