The United Nations Security Council has again failed to take action on the Israel-Hamas conflict despite a deepening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.
Russia and China on Wednesday vetoed a United States resolution that called for a humanitarian pause to allow humanitarian aid access, the protection of civilians and a stop to arming Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip.
A rival text put forward by Moscow then failed to draw sufficient support.
The US had toned down an initial draft released over the weekend after diplomats expressed shock at its failure to recognise the humanitarian crisis and its bold statement that Israel had a right to defend itself.
Ten members voted for the resolution, while the United Arab Emirates voted no and Brazil and Mozambique abstained.
It was a rare move by the US to suggest Security Council action, but diplomats noted that a humanitarian pause was not the same as a ceasefire, which has been backed by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. A pause might last only a matter of hours.

“The Jews/ Zi0nists were driven out of Germany and Europe due yo H…. and came to our Muslim lands in the late 1890s to early 1900s.
We gave them refuge and everything, BUT in return in “1948 we got Nak-ba” which was carried out by Z1oni$t army, they did the Ethnic cle@nsing of Arabs by carrying out “Plan Delit”,
Stoling their land.. 700000 displaced at that time, 500000 marty3red!
And 1.9 million Palest-anians Displaced till this day!
Who is failing the attempts?
We need to get of the UN. It was created to help Israel in the first place.
india abstained . you coawards!!!!
The reason the wanted any UN resolutions to mention Israel have the right to defence itself so that they can say UN ok with it and they could not be bring to criminal court.
5 permanent members vetoing each other’s every move, and they say to whole world.. it’s “United” Nations😂😂😂😂 unity is missing, nations are on their own…….. it’s such a beautiful world
Terror is when civilians are terrorised. Hamas is the perpetuator and Isreal is the responder. Both are at loggerheads with each other and acting with vengence. World is divided on two fronts:
1. In condemning the terror attack by Hamas and invasion by Isreal. UN should also deliberate options by Isreal in resonce to Hamas attack.
2. In asking Hamas to release all hostages and surrender the people participated in 07 Oct attact to UN authority.
3. Calling for stoppong of further aggression by Isreal.
4. Providing of aid and support to all civilians affected.
5. Restoring a elected Government in Gaza through fresh elections.
6. Accepetance of two nation
theory
7. Dismantling of terror and it’s funding network.
Nations who don’t care for above are playing their own political manoeuvres, if not abbetors.
Those who vetoed gave themselves unlimited power to keep on doing this type of acts to any country in the world- oh wait…they’ve already been doing it for centuries without the permission of the UN…
UN no fuction.
Misuse of VETO POWER, time has passed, needs to be reviewed.
The veto power in the UNSC needs to be reviewed because it can lead to injustice and abuse.
Propose the diversification of the veto power by considering the introduction of other permanent members with global influence.
Propose a conditional veto that limits use to global peace purposes rather than narrow national interests.
Revise UNSC decision-making procedures to include the views of the international community and non-permanent members of the UNSC.
Amendments in the Charter of the United Nations to allow changes in the structure of the UNSC.
Increase freedom of expression to understand the needs and aspirations of the international community.
what about France? what has France been doing?
Because of this war, everything we win for you militarily, you will never get back, and is that clear to you? and anyone who participates in the war against has a strict ban on the Use of all Patents.
