We have waited for the UN Security Council to approve a resolution on immediate ceasefire in Gaza and release of hostages. Now there can be no waiting for its implementation.

An important meeting with a delegation from the Ukrainian Parliament. We discussed the importance of ongoing support of Iceland for Ukraine, the protection of human rights and rule of law and also the Ukrainian peace formula.

Images coming out of Gaza yesterday are horrifying. I strongly condemn the bloodshed of civilians in Gaza. This must stop and international law must be respected. I reiterate Iceland’s strong call for ceasefire, unhindered access for humanitarian aid and release of hostages.

Iceland demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza along with 153 other nations at UN General Assembly today. This needs to happen now.

Important push from the Nordic Countries urging the Security Council to act. SG @antonioguterres was right to invoke Art. 99 in face of this humanitarian catastrophe.

I‘m horrified by the ongoing civilian deaths in Gaza. Iceland condemns all violations of international humanitarian law. Nothing can take priority over the duty to provide medical services to people in need. Iceland supports calls for humanitarian ceasefire.

As the 10th Emergency Special Session of the #UNGA convenes today, Iceland joins calls for a humanitarian pause to facilitate the safe delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza. The civilian suffering and loss of life is heartbreaking.

Horrific news from Gaza with hundreds killed at the Al Ahli Arab Hospital. Iceland condemns any attacks on hospitals. International humanitarian law must be upheld at all times. Civilians have not chosen to be a target in an open battlefield.

Climate inaction is unacceptable. We have time, but not much time. Past alerts are today’s shocking facts. Present warnings will be tomorrow‘s cascading disasters if we don’t accelerate climate action and implement systemic change. Iceland will do its part. #ClimateAmbitionSummit

We need to close the gender pay gap and ensure women‘s economic independence to reach gender equality. We need societies with conditions where this is possible, with strong welfare: parental leave, daycare, and a culture change: the sharing of the 3rd shift burden! #equalpayday

Grateful to an outstanding panel and turnout to Iceland’s and @UN_Women’s event to talk about the critical gender crisis in Afghanistan. We must find solutions to fight the institutionalized framework of gender apartheid that faces the women and girls of Afghanistan.

Admire SG @antonioguterres’s relentless efforts to push for more climate action and more ambition to fulfill the 2030 Agenda and a better world. Discussed the role the Wellbeing Economy can play for the future & the fact that gender equality is a precondition for many other SDG‘s

To the victims of this devastating earthquake and their loved ones, our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. To the people of Morocco as they face the aftermath of a catastrophic natural disaster, the Icelandic people’s thoughts and support are with you.
