UPascoe uthe iNhlangano Yezizwe ibambe iqhaza elikhulu, ngokungenelela kukaNobhala-Jikelele nabanye, ekufuneni ukudalulwa okuphuthumayo kokuvalwa kweGaza. Namuhla, i-Israel ibiphinde yavula izindawo ezimbili zokuwela uphethiloli kanye nokulethwa kwezinsiza zosizo yizinhlangano zamazwe omhlaba, kodwa bekungakacaci ukuthi ukuwela kuzohlala kuvuliwe.
