‘Battle of narratives’ continuing between Israel and the UN
Luciano Zaccara, associate professor of Gulf politics at Qatar University says “there is a battle of narratives” regarding the positions of Israel and the UN on aid entering Gaza’s southern border.
“Israel keeps repeating that they are concerned about the killing of civilians, and they’re concerned about allowing aid to enter into Gaza. International agencies and other governments are blaming Israel for controlling the gate,” Zaccara told Al Jazeera.
He added that he does not believe that the delayed vote on a UN Security Council resolution urging scaled-up humanitarian aid access to Gaza will change this.
“I think there should be more diplomatic efforts conducted by both the UN and Israel to guarantee that the aid entering Gaza is not harming Israel in a way that Israel would withdraw from the support for this resolution,” Zaccara said. “Otherwise, we will come back to zero again.”
