The Kingdom of Cambodia through her Permanent Mission to the United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, after more than six months into the war, leaving unimaginable innocent death toll and suffering.
At the 75th Plenary meeting under Use of the veto – Item 63: Special report of the Security Council in New York on May 1, H.E. Mao Tithiarun, Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative, Chargé d’affaires, a.i, of Cambodia to the United Nations, said the Kingdom acknowledges the five Resolutions, two adopted by the emergency special session of the General Assembly and three adopted by the Security Council; the most recent one is Resolution 2728 (2024). Getting these resolutions was hard work, but the most important thing is to expedite the implementation.
In this sense, he continued, Cambodia calls upon all relevant parties to the conflict to strictly implement these resolutions in order to save people’s lives and achieve a ceasefire, especially to prevent spillover in the region.

Mao Tithiarun added that it is high time to seek and address the root causes of the Palestine-Israel conflict so that the two nations can live in harmony. Cambodia fully supports all parties involved in exercising utmost restraint, engaging in constructive dialogue, and resolving their conflicts through diplomacy and peaceful means to end the humanitarian crisis and achieve permanent peace.
‘Cambodia emphasises the significance of upholding the principles of the two-state solution. Despite the current non-adoption of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution, Cambodia acknowledges its responsibility in granting full membership to the State of Palestine. This development not only benefits both nations and their peoples but also contributes to peaceful coexistence and progress in the entire region,’ he underlined.
The Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Cambodia to the United Nations once again urged all sides to reach a ceasefire without further delay in order to allow humanitarian access for the
delivery of essential aid to those in need, and joined others in calling for the unconditional release of all hostages.
