Profession – Saba:
Once again the United States of America proves it is a key partner in the Zionist war of genocide in Gaza by using its veto power in the Security Council on Wednesday over a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
According to the United Nations website, the draft resolution was presented by the Council’s 10 elected members. It called for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire, respected by all parties, and reiterated its call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
Guyana’s Ambassador Caroline Rodriguez Birkett introduced the draft resolution on behalf of the 10 countries elected to the Security Council: Algeria, Guyana, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Malta, Ecuador and Slovenia.
The draft resolution received the support of 14 of the 15 members of the Security Council, but was not adopted due to the veto of the United States, a permanent member of the Council.
At the same time, the draft resolution provides for the rejection of any measures aimed at starving Palestinians and calls for facilitating the full, rapid, safe and unhindered importation and delivery of humanitarian assistance on a large scale into the Gaza Strip in all its regions to all Palestinian civilians who need it, including civilians in the besieged northern Gaza Strip. They urgently need immediate humanitarian assistance coordinated by the United Nations.
The draft resolution also emphasizes that UNRWA remains the backbone of humanitarian assistance in Gaza and calls on all parties to enable the organization to implement its mandate approved by the General Assembly in all areas of its operations, with full respect for the principles of humanitarian action on the Foundation of humanity, impartiality and independence and respect for international humanitarian law, including the protection of the United Nations and humanitarian institutions.
The new American veto drew widespread Palestinian, Arab and international criticism and was described as a “sad day” for the international community, which had failed to stop the more than 400-day war in the Gaza Strip, waged by the Zionist war machine was destroyed.
Today, Palestinian Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Majed Bamieh said after the vote that there was “no justification” for the United States to use its veto power over a draft Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza: “There is “No justification at all.” Vetoing a draft resolution that attempts to stop atrocities.”
In a statement, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas condemned the United States’ use of its Security Council veto over the Gaza ceasefire resolution, saying: “The United States proves once again that it is a direct partner in the aggression against our people” and is for responsible for the war of extermination.” Stresses that the American veto is a hostile position that nullifies the will of the international community and a cover for the continuation of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing offers.
The movement called on the United States to “stop this stupid, hostile policy if it is truly aimed at ending wars and achieving security and stability in the region, as we have heard from the elected government.” End this American interference with the international will that has brought nothing but wars, death and destruction and chaos in the region and beyond.
In turn, the Palestinian Presidency in a statement today condemned the use of its veto power in the UN Security Council by the United States of America to block a resolution calling for a ceasefire and an end to Zionist aggression in the Gaza Strip… and emphasized that The American government uses its right of veto for the fourth time. It encourages the enemy to continue the crimes he is committing against the Palestinian people and the brotherly Lebanese people, and disregards all resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, in particular the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice issued in the Assembly resolution.
The United Nations General Assembly, which called for an end to the aggression, an end to the occupation and the withdrawal of the Zionists from the Gaza Strip, thus bears responsibility for the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people and their land.
For its part, the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine said in a statement: “The use by the American government of its veto in the Security Council to thwart the decision for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip clearly shows that the American government is the one initiating the war She added: “The American veto is evidence that the United States “monitors all massacres committed by the Nazi occupying army.”
While the Popular Front said: “The American veto of a resolution to end the aggression against Gaza demonstrates America’s consistent hostile attitude and its direct involvement in the war of annihilation.”
For its part, the Palestinian Mujahideen movement said: “The failure of the UN Security Council to issue a ceasefire resolution in Gaza due to the new American veto proves once again its failure and incompetence and that the entire international system is hostage to the Zionist-American regime . “Hegemony and arrogance, and that America and the entity represent a real threat to international security and stability.”
The Mujahideen Movement condemned the American veto, noting that it clearly proves that the United States is the one waging and continuing the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people.
The movement called on “all resistance forces and living forces in the country to exert pressure by all means on the country’s enemy and the leader of global terrorism, America, until it stops supporting the killing of innocents in Gaza.”
In the Arab world, Algeria’s representative to the Security Council condemned the failure to adopt a resolution to end the war in Gaza, calling it “a sad day for the international community.” She called for an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza and stressed the need to force the Security Council to resolve the Palestinian issue.
The Algerian ambassador, Ammar Ben Jama, blamed one country. He said that this vote means that the Security Council is giving the Israeli occupying state another chance for further killing and destruction. Order to accept a ceasefire? Are 45,000 victims not enough?
At the international level, Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Fu Cong told the Security Council: “It is not surprising that people are angry” after “Israel” violated the red lines of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
Fu Kung criticized the American position, saying Washington has repeatedly used its veto power over Security Council measures to end the war in Gaza.
The Chinese ambassador stressed the need for the United States to take its membership seriously and support the Security Council’s efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza.
Malta also criticized the Security Council’s failure, saying in a statement: “The Council has once again failed to maintain international peace and security because of Washington’s veto of the draft resolution ending the war in Gaza.”
US Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood explained the reasons for the veto after the vote, saying: “We have made it very clear throughout all negotiations that we cannot support an unconditional ceasefire that does not allow the release of hostages,” sent along This resolution sends a message to Hamas: “There is a risk that there is no need to return to the negotiating table.”
The Zionist enemy has continued its brutal war of aggression against the Gaza Strip for 411 consecutive days, while continuing to commit war crimes and horrific massacres and attempting to displace the population of the northern strip. The country faces the 46th consecutive day of continuous military aggression.
The death toll from the ongoing Zionist-American military aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 has increased to 43,985 martyrs, in addition to 104,92 people with various injuries, according to official figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
