US vetoed again a new resolution UN Security Council For calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza which was presented by the United Arab Emirates and was sponsored by 97 member countries in just 24 hours.
There was a call supported by 13 Council members and the United Kingdom abstained.
This For the second time since the start of the Gaza war, the United States vetoed The resolution is in the same sense – she did so on October 18 – thereby joining Israel, which claims that this ceasefire will help Hamas rearm and hold 138 hostages in the Gaza Strip.
United Arab Emirates representative Mohamed Abshahab lamented that the vote left “the Council remaining isolated and thus appearing disconnected from its own founding document.”
“What message are we sending to the Palestinians if we cannot unite behind the call for stop the ongoing bombing of the Gaza Strip?, he asked himself.
He was responded to by US Representative Robert Wood, who lamented that the resolution had been drafted “hastily” and as a result was “unbalanced and out of touch, failing to make an iota of difference on the ground.”
In the morning, Wood warned that he would not agree to declare a ceasefire because, he said, “if Israel lays down its arms today, as some member states are asking, Hamas will continue to hold its hostages, women and children.” , old and young, many of them were subjected to inhumane and cruel treatment.”
On October 18, the United States alone vetoed a similar resolution calling for a ceasefire introduced by Brazil; He then stated that the text did not mention Israel’s right to self-defense.
It is the Palestinian conflict that has caused the majority of vetoes that the United States has used in the Security Council, up to 45 times in its history, always in favor of its main ally in the world, Israel.
This Friday’s vote will take place at the request of Secretary General Antonio himself. Guterreswhich this week invoked the exceptional mechanism of the UN founding charter, Article 99allowing it to request Council intervention in cases of serious threats to world peace and security.
Today, Guterres gave a dramatic presentation of the situation to the Council, recalling that Gaza is “staring into the abyss” and that “the eyes of the world and History are looking (toward the Council). It’s time to act“.
This afternoon’s vote was doomed to fail when the position of the United States was known, and even so, negotiations continued until the last minute and US attempts to replace the word “truce” with “truce” were unsuccessful.
Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have already killed more than 17,000 Palestinians, and has also displaced 85% of Gaza’s 2 million residents, who suffer serious health and nutrition problems. (EFE/Javier Ozatu)
