US ‘looking increasingly isolated’ at UN after veto of third ceasefire resolution • FRANCE 24
We are seeing the US looking increasingly isolated here uh we also heard some very strong words from the Russian Ambassador and the Chinese Ambassador the Russian Ambassador said look now we have almost 30,000 Palestinians uh Dead uh and time is really of the essence if uh the security
Council had passed the resolution that Russia put forward uh shortly after the start of the war when only 1,000 Palestinians were dead then all of those thousands of lives could have been saved he said and the chines Ambassador also expressed his strong disappointment at the fact that this text did not pass and
Uh he said uh that really uh this was giving a green light to the continued Slaughter now I must point out that the United States has prepared its own resolution a rival resolution and for the first time it includes the word ceasefire but uh I must emphasize that
It does not call for an immediate ceasefire it calls for the conditions to be right beforehand and at the moment uh this text is still in circulation it needs to be negotiated and it’s not clear if or when it would come to a vote
FRANCE 24’s United Nations correspondent in New York Jessica Le Masurier says that “we are seeing the US looking increasingly isolated here” after its veto of a third Security Council resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. She notes “some very strong words” from the Russian and Chinese ambassadors, who suggested that the veto gave a “green light to continued slaughter”. Le Masurier notes the differences in wording of the rival ceasefire resolution offered by the US now being circulated ahead of a new vote.

"Where only 1000 Palestinians were dead.." What is wrong with these so called Western Journalists? SMH🤦🏾♂️
I personally can't trust US anymore. I am really disappointed in this country while allowing children, women and men to be killed. It is self defence by Israel until now? It is not. They are killing, starving the civilians of Gaza.
USA has been engaged in war crimes for decades…only difference is people are more informed…itd time to sanctiin USA, or remove USA from UN or other nations should abandon UN and form their own Organizations .
What happens if those killed are related to US UN representative? Will she hold her hand up and veto?
I will never know how Russia can sit at that table disgusting.
Just shows how the unbridled persuit of money has left the US completely morally bankrupt.
All countries should break relations with Israel. Follow Brazil
Now you know the real culprit…
US no moral
United Nations is one sided never trust UN period……They totally against Israel before Oct 7th ………..👩🦳🇮🇱🙏
Are those other country is going to pony up any money for the UN?
The Rest Of The World May As Well Not Bother Turning Up. What A BS System.
What were the terms of the resolution? Why did they reject it?
They should change the name of the United Nation to 5 nations. How can there be 5 judges and if one says no then they're all rejected. Why are the other nations participating, they're just puppets.
Release the hostages. Remember them?
The demise of the USA , your tax dollars hard at work in other countries. While America self implodes.
UNSC is in dire need of reform to remove veto power of the 5. Failure to do so makes its mandate unworkable in the current. 1 against 14. The 1 wins because it is on of 5 with veto power.
There has to be something that can resolve this issue.
The function of the UN when it was set up was to protect and save lives of the innocent. Here curtesy of the US abusing is veto for the continuation of genocide according to some experts who been on site is in the extreme and worse they have seen.
So while UNSC wastes time on syntax of an agreement.
Children are literally dying of dehydration and starvation in Gaza as in the case recently of an 8 year-old girl.
No word on what the situation is with the 134 hostages. Not much better I expect.
Continued time wasting on syntax by the US will lead to more deaths. Those lay on US Presidents Joe Bidens and Israeli PM shoulders.
US has also called out that Israel has nothing to answer for regarding the war Gaza.
Implying he intends to veto any decision by the ICJ in enforcing sentence via UNSC on President Benjamin Netanyahu for any war crimes.
Further greenlighting further genocide in the extreme.
Sum up both intent on continuing with the genocide in Gaza. Followed likely by Palestinians in the West Bank.
Then use veto power to avoid any punishment.
This is crazy.
I don't think the rest of the world will stand for it. UN veto power or not.
Within 5 years there won't be a viable UN. Curtesy of ignoring climate change.
None of the powers that be now. Will be then, or have it severely diminished.
The United Snakes of Amurderca shows its true colours!
30000 people were killed by USA supply arms and ammunations.
Seriously ? Why? Just how many innocent children have to die for it to end?
Only putin can tied screw of America
Stop Genocide now
if they kill one person they are terrorists and if you kill thousands its a plan.
You need to update your dictionary
"US looking increasingly isolated" what a surprise, right?
good….
The USA is never isolated. They direct the world economy through the worlds only viable reserve currency, the US dollar.
It's okay to be alone if others don't have the spine to resist evil.
Is world so weak that one country can do what he want. Shame on international law and it's policies
We need complete abolishment of UN
The world is more and more becoming a dog eat dog society and how can we educate the kids?
This is what evil looks like
USA function in total Ku Klux Klan structures as whole and for this reason they must be judged at Curtea Veche Trials.
this is history, remember
Cease – fire Resolution is to be adopted, accepted, & implemented, thats the need of the hour. Cease-fire with immediate effect.
Usa is finished the world condemns usa and israel
