The UN Security Council fails to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza on the same day Israel's Prime Minister vowed to send troops into Rafah without US support if necessary.
The Russian deputy ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, warned reporters on Thursday: “We are not satisfied with anything which doesn’t call for an immediate ceasefire.”
He argued that the effect of making a ceasefire conditional on the release of all hostages would be to endorse leaving hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians exposed to continued Israeli attacks until the point when Hamas and Isreal reached an agreement.
In the chamber, the Russian ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told the security council the resolution was a “hypocritical spectacle” that put no real pressure on Israel over its war crimes. Moscow also said the episode showed the US administration was more interested in throwing a bone to American voters and persuading a domestic audience it was being even-handed in the crisis. Source
The United Nations Security Council has failed to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal after Russia and China, who are permanent members, voted against the measure proposed by the United States.
It’s literally the first paragraph of the article.
Biden, through the US delegation, proposed this resolution, which Putin and Xi, through their delegations, vetoed. They’re literally on opposite sides of the issue.
I was explaining how they’re the same. You know, for someone who likes explaining the obvious, you really did miss out on this obvious point being made, twice.
Let’s see how the anti-Biden tankies try to spin this one.
They probably just won’t recognize any facts that challenge their worldview.
No comments yet in the World New@lemmy.ml post.
You should post it to !news@hexbear.net and really rile them up!
Not a fan of them posting pictures of themselves shitting on their own testicles. It’s weird.
So. Mission Accomplished.
I’m waiting for one of them to comment and go on an unhinged rant.
Oh yay! Biden is on the same side as Putin and Xi, in disagreement with the rest of the world.
Not quite the win I think you’re going for there.
It’s literally the first paragraph of the article.
Yes, so now ceasefire resolutions have been vetoed by Biden, Putin, and Xi. Good company.
Biden, through the US delegation, proposed this resolution, which Putin and Xi, through their delegations, vetoed. They’re literally on opposite sides of the issue.
The US was vetoing ceasefire resolutions before this.
And now it’s Russia and China vetoing the US resolution calling for a ceasefire, hence the article.

So because the US vetoed a measure earlier, them proposing a ceasefire now is grounds for Russia/China to veto?
You sound like someone who thinks “no u” is a strong argument.
They vetoing it because the US proposed a conditional ceasefire while Russia and China want an immediate unconditional ceasefire.
