US again vetoes UN truce vote as Israel pounds Gaza • FRANCE 24 English
Well let’s get more from France 24’s Jessica larier who joins us from the UN headquarters in New York Jess just tell us what happened there at the UN Security Council and what reasons the United States gave for its third veto of a resolution well we saw Linda Thomas
Greenfield raise her hand to veto this resolution on behalf of the United States and we saw quite how isolated the US is looking on the world stage uh because the only uh country to uh you might say back up the US was the United Kingdom which abstained otherwise all
Other members of the security Council voted in favor of this resolution put forward by Algeria on behalf of the Arab Group which called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza the Algerian Ambassador really made a strong case for his resolution uh you quoted him he also said that you know failing
To uh back this resolution was agreeing to uh uh to the starvation of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip uh so uh 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 C 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 Chinese Ambassador also expressed his strong disappointment at the fact that this text did not pass and uh he uh 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 okay well thank you very much indeed for bringing us all the latest there from the UN headquarters in New York Jessica thank you very much indeed
The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Tuesday calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with Israel continuing to bombard the territory as concern grew about the growing humanitarian crisis. FRANCE 24’s Jessica Le Masurier reports from New York.

It is time to remove the United States from the council.
Such a resolution tabled while hostages are still being held is ridiculous! The UN should be discussing how to pressure Hamas into releasing ALL hostages first and foremost before any else, that is the pressing issue now. Only then will a ceasefire be possible.
Why does Hamas want a truce? They had a truce. Then they attacked.
Russia demanding for ceasefire is just pure comedy. UNSC is the biggest comedy show.
Israel has a right to defend itself with American support.
US and UK absolute disgrace.
DID "MADEA" JUST VETO THE VOTE??????
How can you say only 1000 Palestinians were dead. Horrendous reporting. If you were the only one bombed would you say only one woman was bombed. Change job.
The authority to veto should be abolished as it is deemed unnecessary in the 21st century. The United Nations should adhere to democratic principles. This is not kings era.
It's all about money!
Pure evil , 30 000 deaths already and still a veto 😢
douh the black hole save matter was too then inside a blackhole i mean what the info refered at , give back to the ppl , the usa always talk about saving themselfes , is annoyng for me , maybe they just see thsi ppl as a threat!
As expected, nothing new
The whole world has predicted the outcome, the whole world is psyhic
The whole world have great foresight and known before hand
Hypocrisy can do wonders
Hypocrite can do wonders
Hypocrisy saved idf
The whole world already knows it before hand, the whole world knows what the hypocrite will do, nothing new
Maybe the UN should propose a course of action that doesn't mean leaving Hamas in power.
Ceasefire without the release of the hostages? Why is it so difficult to understand?
Who cares what Russia says? Really?
No surprise President of USA is Benjamin Netanyahu not Biden
I propose a resolution to the UN: All countries should submit to US power, become vassals, promote LGTBQ, renounce their history, their dignity, and their resources. Maybe then US will agree with the rest of the World.
Jokers
Biden admin: –vetoed UN humanitarian pause –vetoed UN ceasefire/hostage release –sent Israel $254 million of weapons w/o congress –voted No on 153-10 ceasefire/hostage release UN vote –attacked ICJ case –cut $ to UN agency aiding Palestinians –vetoed UN ceasefire/hostage release
DOUBLE Shame on America❗️”Christians “ aren’t behaving like Jesus at all ! Standing with Israel, No Matter What, is political. God has punished Israel before, calling them “a stiff necked people”. 📖📜
UN is a waste of time
Shame on you America and your human rights America bully of the world USA complicity in genocide in Gaza you know what else died in Gaza the myth of western humanity
Why nobody is calling for ceasefire in Sudan ?
UN is a joke
Well, right or wrong, after the US invaded, utterly wrecked, and occupied two countries in response to 9/11, it’d be kinda hypocritical not to veto. The US is still in Syria for like 3 years after anyone’s remotely heard of ISIS, uninvited and unwelcome, so maybe Americans don’t get to dictate how other countries are fighting internationally recognized terror groups. The military aid, before you go there, is still fueling job creation and technical innovation in the US, not exactly charity that we’re talking about.
Russia calling ceasefire is joke
Where is that gentleman china closed it mouth without shouting the hamas to release the histages.Acting behind the dark as straight forward.
Why are UNSC not talking about on Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Russia 🇷🇺 that has been going on for two years now?
porxy of 1srxel, sad for Emerican
Those 2 countries must be imprisoned.
