Nebenzya said preventing mass famine in Gaza depends on Israel. Nebenzya previously called the US draft resolution on Gaza a license to kill Palestinians.
At the same time, United States President Joe Biden said that he hopes to reach an agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip by the beginning of next week. The call was repeatedly voiced by both the UN Secretary General and the leadership of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, according to the Russian representative to the UN Security Council.
