"International Community Should Speak with One Voice about Gaza
Situation"
Moderate Seoul Shinmun editorialized (01/06): "Although we need to
wait for the result of the mediation by the European countries, such
as France, the UK, and Russia, what is important in making the
international community's mediation effective is the U.S.'s stance.
U.S. President-elect Obama has kept silent on this situation. The
UN Security Council failed to adopt a resolution calling for a
ceasefire due to Washington's opposition. In order to reduce the
suffering of the Gaza residents, the international community must
speak with one voice."
