US again vetoes Security Council vote on Gaza ceasefire, pushes alternative • FRANCE 24 English

This is the third time that the United States has vetoed a resolution in the security Council demanding a ceasefire since the War Began the United States looked really isolated in the council chamber today the only country to show it any support was the United Kingdom which abstained diplomats say that the

United States also put pressure on other countries South Korea and Japan to abstain but that does not appear to have worked the text put forward by Algeria that demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire it was backed by the Arab Group which issued a statement lamenting the security council’s inability to stop

The war the Algerian Ambassador made his case very clearly in the council he said that ample time had been given for negotiations and that voting against this resolution implied endorsement of the brutal violence and Collective punishment inflicted on Palestinians he trashed the US arguments that the resolution would hinder the United

States diplomatic efforts to broker a sustainable cessation of hostilities and the release of hostages this has consistently been the US argument that it needs more time for sensitive diplomatic negotiations only now this is starting to ring Hollow with many council members Russia’s Ambassador said that the number of dead has reached a

Shocking threshold of 30,000 and pointed out that when Russia first tried to get a ceasefire resolution through the security Council only 1,000 Palestinians were dead but that uh members abstained in order to avoid the wroth of Washington while China’s Ambassador also had forceful words he said that vetoing

This resolution was giving the green light to continued Slaughter the United States has put forward an alternative draft calling for a temporary ceasefire and opposing uh major Israeli ground offensive in Rafa uh now while this us text does include the word ceasefire which Washington’s previously avoided it

Does not call for hostilities to end immediately the message from the majority of security council members this Tuesday is that time is of the essence

The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Tuesday that called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, drawing stern criticism from allies as President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure to temper support for Israel. The veto provoked a chorus of criticism of Washington — not just from China and Russia, which have rejected the resolute US backing for Israel, but also from US allies including France, Malta and Slovenia.

  12. So if the question needs to be asked : WHICH COUNTRY OR COUNTRIES ARE THE MOST BLOOD THIRSTY IN THE WORLD?
    So much falsehood about human rights when they do not have any quantum of humanity

  13. Hamas has tried to obstruct any progress towards peace for decades. That is their mission. They are not representative of all Palestinians. They have held the region, including both Jews and Arabs, hostage.
