The US veto on Friday against a proposed UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza has triggered conversation and a call to action to use a rare United Nations resolution in efforts to stop Israel’s brutal war on Gaza.
Egypt and Mauritania on Monday invoked Resolution 377A (V) to call for an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. The resolution says that if the UNSC is not able to discharge its primary responsibility of maintaining global peace due to lack of unanimity, the UNGA can step in.

All those who support Israel committing genocide in Gaza have lost their sense of humanity
Palestinian population has increased 3 million over the past 30 years.
Thats not genocide.
I’m starting to think what’s stopping Zionists in controlling the UN? If they can control and manipulate countries, own central banks, own majority of the markets/economies. Do we really believe over a 100 countries can just be vetoed by one?
Well they can actually be vetoed by 5 countries. The other 188 are weak countries no one takes seriously.
Of course no! I love how all of these are going. The PaIiestiniianz are so heIpIess 😂
How about as Arab nations you take in refugees instead of b*tching. Oh…you won’t…wonder why that is
How about Israel stop creating refugees? But they won’t. I wonder why that is.
Through the UN the arab and muslim countries could set up a nato type organisation to take on israel …
The Arab and Muslim countries don’t need the UN to form their own defensive pact. Unfortunately, their infighting prevents them from doing what is necessary.
Israel has in it right to defend its self
Israel is a racist apartheid state and has been oppressing the Palestinians for decades. And is now committing genocide
Qatar, terrorist cuddlers. 🖕🖕🖕
The USA UN membership should be revoked.
The UN is useless
It is. And it’s a wonder why the organization still exists.
USA – The Ultimate Slave of the Apartheid-israel
The world as a whole wants to do the right thing, the population of the Uk wants to do the right thing, and a majority of the people in USA want to do the right thing.
USA politicians don’t
UK politicians do not
EU politicians do not
The west is isolated for following slavish policies towards Israel which is nothing more than a terrorist state by any one’s standards.
UN is a Toothless Tiger
To be clear, the US government is not the same as its people. Our Nation doesn’t support this genocide, the government (which has been corrupted by the Zionist Lobby via AIPAC) does. Praying for Palestine.
Partial true. The problem is that the people are solely responsible for electing their representatives even with the knowledge of the Zionist lobby actions. Just look at how political candidates grovel before AIPAC whenever election season arrives.
paralysed Organisation
one of the world most worst organisation, shame
Why Egypt and Mauritania have not invoked Resolution 377A(v) on Russia Ukraine war till now look I don’t how someone people think
Another US vetoe loading 😅
so the only nation to ever use nucleat weapons is against a peaceful resolution and political compromise ? who wouldve known
Very soon the UN will gain Teeth ( united strength ) ad they will start sanctions on all world Religions ad destroy them, this is graphically spoken about in Christs worlds given to John in Revaluation 🙏🏻
Ahh…no. The UN will most likely be disbanded like it’s predecessor.
ARMS DEALER MONEY IS DIRTER THAN TRANSGENDER PROSTITUTE BUSINESS MONEY.
They’re most likely scared that they would have to take Palestinians in their country, and if they did the same would be happening. They all hate being next to each other so to live together no.
Everything has its own competitor , why can’t we make another UN without veto power , with power of majority votings
A powerless institution which other are violating the human right and continue not to be condamned
UN is puppet of America
United Nations is a Zionist entity so no they won’t stop anything.
the USA, UK not only committed genocide in Palestine but also in Libya Lebanon Syria Iraq Afghanistan at the order of zionists. Being inhuman,King Herod they destroyed peace happiness, compassion and brotherhood of the world. You can’t rule for long
Stop just please stop calling it a war it is a Genocide being committed by the Zionist Nazis, Adolf Hitler himself would not commit.
UN is all talk. They dont actually have any firepower. They dont have military, or even any leverage power.
The real one who can stop israel is league of arabs. But once again league of arabs is a bunch of scared old man who drinks wine in their yacht
Keep the heat on the United States (US). The United Nations (UN) is keeping on the pressure on the United States (US) for vetoing the almost unanimous call for a cease fire in Israel’s war against Palestine. Egypt and Mauritania called for an emergency meeting in the General Assembly to challenge the US’ unconditional support of Israel to commit war crimes. It is important to note that the US did the same thing to the indigenous people of America in order to establish its own artificial colonial settler state, as Israel has done, and is doing to the Palestinians. That is why the US has no problem being the lone state in the Security Council against peace. Moreover, the US has repeatedly ignored 42 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The US is, besides presently aiding Israel to commit war crimes, committing also a crime against humanity for keeping Puerto Rico as its colony for the past 125 years! The US has only contempt for international law!
LMAO. You comment reminds me of what the late great Ronald Reagan once said;
“It’s not that our Liberal friends are ignorant ,it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.
There should be no deadlock as it was Israel’s ally who vetoed the resolution.!!!!!! And as majority voted for ceasefire there should not have been any deadlock majority should have ignored America’s veto and carried on whatever is necessary to stop Israel’s genocide on Gaza! Time is running out the terrorists Israelis have become rampant and need to stopped NOW!
The Palestinians should help themselves and return the Israeli hostages, as a sign of good faith.
Help what? Gaza is a prison why should they go back to prison lol
Its very easy to stop war , just stop funding terrorist isreal , but they funding them and speak about peace
Why call for a ceasefire when the simple (and honourable) thing for Hamas to do is … *surrender now!* Hamas couldn’t win the war honourably as men, so next they used enemy civilian hostages. They couldn’t win the war by the those means, so they used their own women and children as human shields. They couldn’t win the war by those means, so they called on antisemitic allies for help. They couldn’t win the war by those means, so they fell back on the biased UN to intercede for them. They couldn’t win the war by those means, so they relied on propagandist agents in the media. They couldn’t win the war by those means, so they turned to antisemitic students and academics in the west. They couldn’t win the war by those means, so now they call for international boycotts. Given they still can’t win the war by the all of these means, (a) they need ask themselves why they started the war, and (b) they need to do the honourable thing at last – spare their people and *SURRENDER.*
Peace activists in the United States need to reinforce these efforts to apply more pressure on the U.S. to allow a ceasefire in Gaza.
Israeli peace activists are putting on pressure to resist letting Hamas escape..
International Law Lesson
Israel can’t occupy Israel’s Land.
Search for the Map of British Palestine.
So in 1948 Israel followed the Principle of International Law called Uti Possidetis Juris and the borders of the new State of Israel were the same as the Previous Geo Political Entity the British Mandate.
This includes what’s now Israel and the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.
There’s no other State there for an occupation.
Just because there was a Political Vote in the UN with the result that Palestine is a State doesn’t make it so under International Law.
UN Resolutions don’t have the Force of Law.
From the Law perspective Gazans are illegal inside Israeli Territory.
Israel left Gaza in 2005 but didn’t sign any Treaty to give Gaza so Gaza is still Israel.
Israel lend Gaza in 2005 has State Experiment.
It failed.
The attack on 07/10/2023 proved that for 18 Years instead of being worried about developing Gaza Hamas worried about using the 40B Dollars that the idiots from the West send to Gaza in a Jihadist Gaza.
Palestinians are getting desperate because they’ve realised that Israel in retaking Gaza back to Israel and their end in the Territory is coming so they’re intensifying the Propaganda against Israel.
We truly have NPCs running the US government… into the ground
Letra muerta
We must say Israel, a Diaper force. We feel shame to call them an army. An army full of modern weapons 😂😂😂😂😂. It’s hillarious!!! Full of cowards.
ATTENTION UNSC : Bring Resolution A 377 In UN or Wait for Upcoming Big World War,Will Fought In Asia Europe,North America And Africa.
Yes, Al Jazeera, look up UN resolution 1701 from 2006 before looking for new ones about Gaza. Israel should not obey any resolutions before that one is enforced!
*Now that Biden has declared he is a Zionist its now left for the rest of the world to quickly rescue Gazans from this evil entity*
Biden have long declared himself to be a Zionist; many, many years ago.
18,000 Palestinians killed for Israel’s self-defense. In the years before October 7, Israel killed Palestinian people, the question to world leaders is whether Palestine has the right to defend itself?
Not sure…but what about UN Resolution 242 that was agreed Unilaterally??
Why hasn’t that been implemented yet?
IMHO, the ’67 borders aren’t viable now. Borders need to be redrawn and it will need everyone to be involved.
@@ivanfreely6366 Re-drawing borders is a waste of time.
Palestinians claim all the land in the region of Palestine….full stop…no exceptions.
They teach their children to hate Jews as toddlers.
By contrast 30% of the population of Israel are Arabs.
That’s like asking the Nazis for a ceasefire. It makes no sense. The apartheid regime must face justice under international law. They have to face trial or the wars will never end. These terrorists European colonials will continue to cause wars and destruction around the world
Who can stand against the Angel of God? This is the battle that the Angel of God is fighting
Well, if arab nations are so motivated to help palestine-blockade, embargo and stop all oil exports to israel..also help yemen
Agreed. If the Arabs actually got together with the intent to help then it would give other powers such as China to fully step in. Unfortunately, I’m not seeing much from them.
Elderly people very often become really stubborn and unflexible.
Or, they have had a lifetime of real experience of the world, instead of the fantasy world many young people seem to think they live in.
I wonder how he feels himself ,i mean that person who raised his evil hand to veto the resolution .shame on him and everyone who decided this
Аll countries are equal
but some are more equal
Remove US veto the country that is creating the gen.0.cide is not allowed
I’m curious to know if the UNSC have shown to be inadequate, what’s stopping members of the UNGA to gather their resources (be it military, economic and diplomatic) to enforce their own resolutions?
They should do it. Oh. Wait. They always want the US to do the heavy lifting for them.
@@JohnSmith-ux3tt Then the US should decline such requests especially during current times as the US is teetering on financial bankruptcy.
😂You do understand that apart from the UN having it’s headquarters in New York that the United States is the largest donor to the United Nations. It contributed more than $12 billion in 2021, accounting for just under one-fifth of funding for the body’s collective budget.
I though stuff like that when I was very byoung too.
@@jeffspicolli593 It wouldn’t matter if members of the UNGA circumvent the UN. It’s not like if this political move haven’t been done before. Eventually the UN would likely be disbanded which I believe it should be.
America preventing the peace in this world
United Nations is a joke. We know Qatar pays UN just like Al Jazeera is Qatar based news station. 🙄
Fasists do not respect law. Democracy is a big western lie, usa vetoed human requests for peace, it is bullying system not Democracy.
United States of A$$holes
To everyone pointing out the undemocratic nature of the UN I want to say I share in the anguish, but there’s wisdom in the UN’s design. Its core purpose has always been to prevent another world war by ensuring that the most militarily powerful countries are on the same page when it comes to binding decisions. For all it’s unfairness, our species has at least avoided turning itself into radioactive dust.
So, keep building pressure on the US. I hope it works.
Israel is an apartheid, genocidal state.
Israel doesn’t care about what UN thinks you so corrupted from inside the only thing left is to puke 🤢
Hamas leaders are enjoying the show eating popcorns . Can’t the Palestinians see ?
Can’t you see what Israel is? A racist apartheid state. With no regard for human beings
Thanks.
Don’t worry Hamas you done. Hanaya doesn’t care about you even if he pays for this stupid channel he even thinks about replacing you with different terrorist organization to replace you and Sinwar sending you todie this channel doesn’t really cares about the Palestinians he didn’t once mentioned the Israeli hostages on the news they didn’t even asked once why the red cross wasn’t checking the hostages well being. This channel is the most corrupted at YouTube and getting paid by Hanya himself sitting in Qatar run away from Israel from Gaza like a 🐀 . His day will come when he feels good and happy everything will be shattered like glass he will not see it coming and the channel will be out of Jobless. When you help terrorists you become a terrorist by law. All of you going to jail. Israel will Prevail 🇮🇱.

Revoke Veto Power !
What UN do for Ukraine?
Usa does not want
Nothing to expect from the organization that started/approved of the root cause of this whole situation back in 1948… 😢
Israel needs war with a country that csn take them down lile they have been trying to do over 75 years and even when there was ceasfires they where taking palestinans women and children and even destroying mousqes and churches and palestinans didn’t destroy there synagogue Christian and Muslim Palestinians lives are destroyed may god help them
THE UNITED NATIONS THE HOUSE OF LIARS HYPOCRITES SCAM JOBS.THEY SHOULD BE BANNED SHUT DOWN THEY THE CLOWNS ARE USELESS.
The Useless Security Council of 5 should be abolished.
American support for the murder of thousands of children will be Biden’s legacy
There comes a time when silence is betrayal
Netanyahu is a war criminal
Crazy war on qaza and veto against ceasefire is resulting los creditable in these general assembly
When you start accepting that Zionist are the Master race and bow down to them then everything will be ok.The synagogue of Satan is in control of your Money
Genocide Joe in the white house today called himself a ZIONIST 👹
Israel has no regard for the UN. They didn’t have any regard for UN resolution 242 in 1967. They don’t today. In 2010, Ovadia Yosef, the chief Rabbi of Israel, spoke publicly and said “The purpose of the Non Jew is to serve the Jew, that’s why he gets a long life, to work well for the jew”. Just wikipedia “Ovadia Yosef remarks regarding Gentiles”
When your “neighbors” are attacking you daily, you probably don’t care much about some talking heads with no skin in the game.
Update: UN Votes To Implement Resolution 377A (V) Immediate Ceasefire.
Let’s see if Netanyahu can remain in power.
@@ivanfreely6366 He’ll probably try to hang on. However, everyday that he’s allowed to further damages Israel–and, by default, the US. It’s highly unintelligent to keep propping up a nonviable regime…
@@HauteBlackChic Current American politicians aren’t very intelligent. It’s really up to the Israelis to take down Netanyahu.
@@HauteBlackChic The only thing not viable is the 70% of Gazan’s that don’t work and are dependent on western handouts contributing nothing to the planet.
Gaza is the identical size as Holland;
If all the Dutch were moved to Gaza and all the Palestinians were moved to Holland within a decade Gaza would be a thriving country and Holland would be rubble.
Israel is s racist apartheid state. Oppressing Palestinians. And now before our eyes committing genocide. Never forget, never forgive.
Les États Unis ont montré leur vrai visage ..IMMONDE
Pourquoi les anglais n ont pas donné LEUR TERRE aux juifs en 1948 ?
Read the 1917 UK Balfour Declaration
MAN I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY THAT ANOTHER COULD WOULD OUTDO PUTIN IN THIS TIME NOW. S.M.H. W.T.F. NASTY NETANYAHU AND GENOCIDE JOE.😔😪😞
If you ever feel useless just remember the UN exist …
UN is just a peace of sh**. Let this institute be run by US and its allies other countries should leave this sh**. Gaddafi (the great leader with spine) was right about UN.
I recently watched a recording of Gaddafi’s speech. It was insightful 💯
As an American I couldn’t be more ashamed of what my tax dollars are being used for. Most of us don’t support the genocide in Gaza. Our government is so corrupt.
Same here, UK.
Shame on the UN !! How can they turn a blind eye to Russia attacking the Ukraine while condemning Israel.
🤦🏽🤥👹
Now we know who the perpetrators are and who their enablers and supporters are. Shameful.
The perpetrators and enablers will be identified by wokesters the same way ppressors and the oppressed are identified.
Successful people, cultures and civilizations will always be the oppressor while unsuccessful people, cultures and civilizations will always be the oppressed regardless of circumstance or facts.
Save Palestine
The west should never talk about western values and spreding democracy ever again.the rest of the world will die laughing
Us EU and Israel have no Human Rights !only lies! Kam German and sk ashamed for my goverment! This is a genocide! Israel had to be stoppet noew! Netanjahu is a war criminal to Deng Haag !stop war! Peace now! Free palestine!

The Islamic Regime in Iran is the Human Rights Council Social Forum for the U.N. The Iranian regime is also one of the world’s most brutal violators of Human Rights.
Time and again, the Security Council has failed to take any action on Ukraine, Israel, Sudan, and countless other crises because one or more P5 members blocks things.
Russia is STILL a permanent members of the U.N Security Council!!!! Yes, the same Russia that invaded Ukraine, started a war that continues to this day!
The U.N. is a joke it long lost all of its credibility.
Israel will abandon the world/UN to secure its peace, its existence .
Hello, my first name is collateral and my last name is damage. I go to a united nation school called “rubble above me”. And yet I do not know what is Muslim nor Jews nor Christian and I am race blind. My way of life has fallen into few loafs of bread, the pain is gruesome, the hunger is brutally real, the thirst is punchy and yet I survive one day in anticipation of the next day. As honor, humanity and morality is replaced by greed, self interest and sycophantism, I must not look to have freedom from those who speak of freedom. What is it like to be free. Free to eat, free to drink, free in the land. From day to day to the last bomb in record, let the world of oppressed people know that i have paid the price for your freedom. Thank you genocidal Joe , thank you macron, thank you British pm. thank you western weapon factory, thank you American tax payer. As for me, i am no more then a walking shadow waiting to be turned into dust by your bombs. When the dust settles, Palestine will be free. When the dust settles, some politician won’t survive their politics, Palestine will survive. When the dust settles, the world will be free.
I found out today that of the 13 times resolution 377A was invoked in the past, 5 of those times were because of Israel.
All from 1958 up to 1997… if that isn’t a big red flag I don’t know what else could be.
Israel is nothing more than a Terrorist nation.
And the US is its funder.
And it did absolutely nothing. Israel is still slaughtering humans and doesn’t care because who will stop them? So what’s next? You trying to tell me the whole world can’t stop these psychopaths?
UN vote is useless because israel, UK and US dont respect anyone they dont value human live or rights. if UN dont do action only words not only palestine will be gone. US plans for many years to take all they will kill for money. but human is smart many still see within the lies of israel and US
