Nebenzya called the US draft resolution on Gaza a license to kill Palestinians. According to the diplomat, the “alternative” draft Security Council resolution proposed by Washington does not contain a call for a ceasefire.

Also, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States does not consider what is happening in the Gaza Strip to be genocide. The diplomat expressed the opinion that the US position leads to the spread of violence from Gaza to the Middle East. He was speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
