Israel-Palestine: US blocks UN statement for third time in a week

Palestine’s ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour says the international community has an “immediate responsibility” to bring about a ceasefire with Israel.
The United States, a close ally of Israel, has for the third time this week reportedly blocked the UN Security Council’s (UNSC) statements condemning Israel’s actions and calls for a ceasefire.
The latest UNSC meeting ended without reaching any consensus.
The Security Council has met four times in the last eight days, with Norway, Tunisia and China warning that the violence must not continue.
