Introduced by 10 elected members of the Council, the draft was supported by 14 out of 15 members. “Immediately respected by all parties in Gaza, unconditional and permanent ceasefire”, called for release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups and to remove restrictions on humanitarian aid.
As reported by Al Jazeera, the US Middle East Morgan Morgan Orta Special Ambassador, he defended Washington’s vetos, “the US will not be surprised by the opposition to this decision. He does not recognize Hamas or Israel’s right to defend himself, and he misleads the wrong narratives in this council.”
VETO received sharp criticisms from Palestinian and Arab representatives. Palestinian ambassador Riyadh Mansour said that the decision shows that the Council’s “silence has come to a great cost for the reliability and authority of the Council,” the use of veto power should not be allowed when the crimes of atrocities are in danger. ”
“Palestinian brothers, Palestinian sisters, forgive us, forgive us, because the world is talking about the Palestinians. Forgive us because our sincere efforts have shattered this wall of rejection.”
Meanwhile, Israel’s Ambassador Danny Danon thanked the United States for using their vetoes for Israel’s “justification” for the war in Gaza. The vote came on the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, which is a memory of “gloomy” by Al Jazeera’s diplomatic editor James Bays. Al Jazeera said that the US stance reflects the “first view of the world” at a time when many countries defend multilateral diplomacy.
