00:00What is the difference actually between peace enforcement and peacekeeping?
00:03Okay, so peace enforcement is more British, by the way, and it's related to chapter number seven in the United Nations.
00:10Like, for example, when I was chief of staff of the United Nations mission in Nepal, it was peacekeeping or peace support, which is very close to peacekeeping.
00:17It is to maintain peace between the two parties.
00:19And remember here, it's maintaining peace with peaceful procedures, monitoring, observing and following up until which was both of them.
00:30Post-conflict.
00:31But peace enforcement, usually, it's between conflict and post-conflict phase.
00:37So, but peacekeeping always, or let me say it's in post-conflict phase.
00:43At the same time, peacekeeping is between two parties together, like, in everywhere.
00:50But peace enforcement, in this case here, is another difference.
00:53Peace enforcement, usually, to be implemented on both parties, even by force,
00:57whoever does not submit or is not submitted to the resolution of the United Nations to stop fire.
01:05But in this case, only one part, which is the Palestinian, Hamas, will be the one who submitted for that.
01:12And remember, it's not only by force, but before that, by procedures.
01:16Like, for example, disarming.
01:18And remember, disarming in Lebanon, right?
01:20So this army in Lebanon should be in peaceful way, without intervention of any forces, only we have UNIFER right now.
01:27And then they should observe that within peacekeeping, not peace enforcement.
01:32But if it not succeeds before end of this year, so maybe Israel will go by force.
01:38It's a difference here when you come with Gaza, that the peace enforcement will use its force when it's needed,
01:45if Hamas is not submitted to the procedures to disarm itself,
01:51or if any harassment happened by their side or violation in this case.
01:56And that's why in this case, we will find the peace enforcement will be the responsible in front of United States,
02:03in front of Israel, in front of the international community to maintain the peace or to restore it or to keep it
02:09or even to create it inside this region, not Israel.
