Despite the approval of 13 countries and only one abstention, Britain, the American “veto’ returned to obstruct the UN Security Council’s issuance of a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for humanitarian reasons. How did Washington justify this? The Palestinian presidency expressed its surprise at the continued American refusal to stop the war of genocide waged by Israel against the Palestinian people.
China expressed its “deep disappointment” regarding the United States’ obstruction of a draft resolution calling for a ceasefire for the humanitarian reasons, adding that the Council must act.
