US vetoes UN Security Council call for Gaza ceasefire
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... , which Washington claimed undermined ongoing diplomacy to resolve the conflict. A general view shows the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Security Council meeting on non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, U.S., March 14, 2022. — Rooters "This resolution would undermine diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire that reflects the realities on the ground and emboldens Hamas  ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",.... This resolution also draws false equivalence between Israel and Hamas," said Washington's United Nations envoy Dorothy Shea just ahead of the vote. ''United States opposition to this resolution should come as no surprise,'' said Shea. ''The United States has taken the very clear position since this conflict began that Israel has the right to defend itself, which includes defeating Hamas and ensuring they are never again in a position to threaten Israel. In this regard, any product that undermines our close ally Israel's security is a non-starter.''
“This resolution would undermine diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire that reflects the realities on the ground, and embolden Hamas,” she said of the text that was put forward by 10 countries on the 15-member council. A similar humanitarian-focused draft resolution is now expected to be put to a vote in the 193-member UN General Assembly, where no countries have a veto power and it would likely pass, diplomats said. Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon warned: “Don’t waste more of your time, because no resolution, no vote, no moral failure, will stand in our way.” Posted by: Fred 2025-06-05 |
