The United States has finalised its United Nations Security Council resolution.
It calls for all measures necessary such as ‘humanitarian pauses’ and allows for ‘humanitarian access to Gaza’.
A key sticking point has been the call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas – which does not appear in the US resolution.
It is not yet clear when the Security Council will vote on the resolution although it is understood that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will attend the UN meeting on Wednesday.
This is the third draft resolution issued since the conflict began.
Previous ones by Russia and Brazil were vetoed.

They need to raise issue of rights being infringed across the board to open laws in places like the U.K. to try to arrest peaceful protestors
On no other issue have they wanted mass arrests which they will pressure the police on and are already doing so
Veto the U.S. resolution because it’s only seeking Israel’s interest. Not that of the Palestinians.

USA is the main problem for this planet.
Fark American.
US ignoring genocide in gaza while accusing Russia of war crimes 😂
Putin look like a better man than Brandon now
Russia has a right to defend itself
The US is just trying to put up a smokescreen and cover their arses legally in any future attempts to find them liable for assisting Israel in the commission of genocide against the Palestinians. But under the Genocide Convention signatories have a DUTY to PREVENT and PUNISH other signatories from committing genocide. Furthermore, the Genocide Convention criminalises aiding and abetting the commission of genocide (hear that, US?). And lastly, the Genocide Convention is crystal clear that “no State or individual can ever be permitted to justify genocide in the name of self-defence.” Genocide can be prosecuted in the International Criminal Court – up to and including the US President. Allowing Israel (a member of the Genocide Convention) to terrorise (by bombing and threatening leaflets) the Palestinians is a failure of that DUTY (under the Genocide Convention) to both PREVENT and PUNISH genocide. Therefor, the US President can still be tried for COMPLICITY in genocide if they allow the Israelis to continue bombing, threatening Palestinians via leaflets, and aiding and abetting genocide by continuing to provide Israel with ammunition and weapons to do so.
THE UN IS RUBBISH. ITS FOR ISRAEL.
The cause nd foundation of the problem is Italy nd France Paris,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,Sardegna,Rome :////-
You forgot Lutjebroek.
Participate in UN drama is a waste of time.
Yes debate, as Israel acts you pigs!
What’s the point! The UN doesn’t have any power, the US will just veto any decision they make.
United Nothings doing nothing. Blah blah blah blah blah.
What is the point of a toothless security council, they are a waste of space its time for a change
IUN is useless and woke!
When it was about 🇺🇦 …anything blocked in the very corrupted UNSC, then a UN general assembly was immediately organized to seek the general opinion from the worldwide… why still isn’t there any general assembly for Gaza?
The US.
Gaza belongs to Israel that’s why
You don’t understand this is different (US rule)
True. U know Im Ukrainian and situation is Ukraine is horrible… but why its so many countries so much stubborn to do not see Israel crimes.. because they are corrupted and no else answer
Why there is involvement of country in genocide is controlling the UN
All talk & no actions , im suspecting ppl sit at UN only for the free food & the free snacks
Palestinian ppl’s bodies are piling up.
You are responsible for their deaths UN, they said south would be a safe zone for the Palestinians, they are still showering with bom*s over the injured ppl who thought they were safe, why are you not stopping USrael & holding them accountable?
Keep talking and doing nothing, and let thousands of innocent ppl are dying.
to acquaint you throughly with the words of truth,
that you may repond faithfully to the one who sends you?
UN experts demand justice for Al Jazeera journalist on one year anniversary of her killing.
GENEVA (11 May 2023) – On the one-year anniversary of Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing, UN experts raised the alarm today that justice for the journalist’s death has been denied.
“After a year, Israeli authorities have failed to hold the perpetrators of Abu Akleh’s killing accountable, while independent investigations have pointed at the culpability of Israeli forces. Justice remains, again, hostage of politics,” the experts said.
Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist and acclaimed correspondent for Al Jazeera, was shot dead on 11 May 2022, while performing her duty as a journalist reporting on Israel’s raid in the Jenin refugee camp. Several independent investigations carried out by various bodies and organisations, including the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, concluded that Abu Akleh was most likely killed by seemingly well-targeted shots fired by Israeli forces, despite her wearing clear identification as a journalist. Internal investigations carried out by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) found “a high possibility” that Abu Akleh was “accidentally hit” by IDF gunfire. However, to date, Israeli authorities have not opened a criminal investigation into her death or held anyone accountable.
“So far, every one of the requirements under international law for the investigation of potentially unlawful deaths, namely: promptness, effectiveness and thoroughness, independence and impartiality and transparency, appears to have been violated in this case,” the experts said.
“International law demands, at minimum: an effective, thorough, independent, impartial and transparent investigation into Abu Akleh’s death. These steps must be carried out in accordance with applicable international standards, including the Minnesota Protocol on the Investigation of Potentially Unlawful Death (2016). Failing to carry out a prompt and effective investigation, followed by prosecution and judicial process, may in itself constitute a violation of the right to life,” they said.
“We also urge the Israeli authorities to ensure that those responsible are held accountable without delay,” the experts said, recalling that Ms. Abu Akleh’s family must have access to justice, truth and adequate reparation, and emphasising that the whole world needs to know what happened.
“The safety of journalists, particularly in situations of conflict and occupation, is critical to support accountability and transparency,” the experts said. “The deliberate killing of a journalist in such situations amounts
to extrajudicial execution, an egregious violation of the right to life, and wilful killing under the fourth Geneva Convention. It is thus paramount that journalists are provided with effective protective measures”.
The experts also decried the record-high number of killings of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem in recent months in the context of raids by Israeli forces, often targeting refugee camps. In 2022, out of 9000 Israeli operations, 702 targeted refugee camps in the occupied West Bank. In 2023, already more than 100 Palestinians have been killed in the context of such operations, including in Jenin, Nablus and Jericho. Since 2001, at least 18 Palestinian journalists have been reportedly killed by the IDF in the occupied Palestinian territory and no one has been held accountable for those deaths.
“Evidence indicates that the Israeli forces repeatedly deploy lethal force against Palestinians in violation of international law, which prohibits intentional lethal use of firearms except when strictly unavoidable to protect life,” the experts said.
“The killing of Shireen Abu Akleh is symbolic, embodying grave human rights violations that Palestinians have faced under the Israeli occupation for over 55 years,” the experts said. “Their rights to self-determination, life, freedom of expression have been consistently violated. The Palestinian people live under the yoke of pervasive impunity and lack of reparations for violations committed,” they said.
The experts urged the international community to take concrete action in the face of these violations. “The United Nations Charter is betrayed every day in the occupied Palestinian territory,” they said.
The experts raised the matter with the Israeli Government and duly called for a prompt, transparent, thorough and independent investigation into Abu Akleh’s death, for which they also offered their specialised forensic assistance and technical advice. The Israeli Government has not responded to the communication to date.
Isn’t this the same organization that gave Palestine to a bunch of foreigners without even consulting the Palestinians?
As usual since time immemorial War is youngmen women children babies and old people dying while old politicians are talking and talking debating and debating k!
I wish and pray that UN takes serious actions for real. People of Palestine are Desperately waiting for justice to be served.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸✌🏻
Allah be with you
Waste of time when the US can vetp anything it wants.
These discussions are super helpful in these times. I love how they all act like they care and they go back home to their lavish mansions, sipping wine and going to bed. Truly one of the best organization in the world
I like your self-criticism.
Please stop war all fronts please 🙏☮️🤍💟🌹🙌🙏🙋🙏
Western Country Leave Palestine People Along
Palestine should have their land back Free Palestine 🇵🇸
It’s look like no leader for Muslim world! No one to Unite Muslim leaders, no one to discuss with others. That’s because perhaps some leaders in the middle East are very feared of America – Israelis! Some countries may finds some hopes for cashing benefits basis on Palestinians issue on their Ocean of blood..! So everyone is separate and there is no hope!
World 🌎 help Palestine 🙏 🇵🇸 humanity 😢😢😢😢
People are dying stop the lip service
What you see here are people in suits, who after the event is over are still sleeping soundly in their beds. They consider the thousands of people killed in Palestine and Israel to be just statistics, they just don’t really care.
Do something save life’s 😢
USA is complicit in the war crimes currently being commited
UN: United of Nothing
America doesn’t want Israel to be cited for war crime for moving people by force,,,this resolution is because its hiding Israel behind,,
US and israel both committing genocide and then say we are protectors of humanity, joke of the century 😂😂

Isreal 1 terrorist country hai, free free philistine
US wants to play hero
The UN is a joke. Overpaid parasites with diplomatic protection.
Will usa be present?!@#$%
UN useless..talk only
You nothing to do
No one cares or has any respect for the UN anymore. Quite literally a useless organization.
Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤must be free NOW, No conditioning attached.
If they’re just gonna ignore the fact that Hamas started this war when they launched the biggest attack on Israel since the Yom Kippur War of 1973 by sending their army through Israel’s demilitarized borders and launching 5,000+ rockets in a single day rampaging all over Southern Israel, then It’s all just a farce. Now that Israel has declared a State of War and responded with a Military Operation, are we suppose to just pretend that Hamas didn’t start a war on Israel? Hamas fired the first shots and started the first invasion, the international community must make Hamas owe up to their folly.
So no ceasefire. Useless
I never thought in my lifetime I would see usa 🇺🇸 show its true colours…I never thought they would give green light to Israel license to kill.
While biden enjoying beach walk😢
United nation is always concerned about not killing civilians ,but in real sense its actually opposite
Nah bro. Don’t throw shade at other countries. This all USA. USA showing why veto powers undermine the UN, when member nations need to be accountable to rules agreed upon in the assembly, all veto powers do is make sure there is selective application of the rules.
Selective accountability/ justice is worse than no accountability.
This will erode any faith or trust in the effectiveness and impartiality of its function.
That’s why most people refer to the UN as useless nations. Because your whole function can be rendered useless by 5 members at any time they want.
Debate while people dying?
I will never ever support UN in any way.
You don’t need to support the UN. it’s run by USA
UN keep doing Drama.
lol, USA is going veto on any resolution by the UN
Seems no other Arab countries want Palestinians in their communities. Gee, wonder why? Guess they don’t want the problems these people bring with them.
Nethanyahu chield killer terrorist
Peace & LOVE ✌💛
The international community should help to Palestinians .
Palestinians has the right to exist . Israel is an illegal is an illegal occupancy .
Please Stand with helpless Palestinians 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
Just how sick is Al Jazeera? Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians with the help of the Americans and Al Jazeera is pushing propaganda supporting this massacre!
UN Just count the death rate and keep on discussing and delaying for more innocent civilian deaths, Just do nothing
Meanwhile arab world condemn Hamas capturing civilians, israeli civilians torturing west bank palestinians, as their news paper Haaretz said. Let alone killing Palestine civilians n kids n destroying homes , hospitals in Gaza.
Question iz why doesn’t Israel usually respect UN decisions ?!?!
what part of Israel doesn’t care anymore about what you say you don’t understand?
