Self-defence ok for Israel, not Iran is ‘clearly bunkum’| Quotable

George Galloway, a member of the UK Parliament, criticises the West’s double standards when it comes to Israel and Iran. Galloway says that if international standards were applicable to all, then Western governments would have condemned Israel’s “blatant, brazen” bombing of an Iranian embassy building in Syria, and not just Iran’s attack on Israel.

Antonio Guterres says he was left “shocked” by the “misrepresentations” of his remarks regarding Hamas made on Tuesday during a meeting of the UN Security Council. “I am shocked by the misrepresentations by some of my statement … as if I was justifying acts of terror by Hamas.

UN chief says ‘clear violations of international humanitarian law’ in Gaza

United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has renewed his demand for a ceasefire in Gaza and said that international law was being violated in the war between Israel and the Palestinian armed group Hamas.

Speaking before the 15-member UN Security Council on Tuesday, Guterres pleaded for civilians to be protected and warned that the fighting risked a wider conflagration in the region. Guterres also criticised Israel without naming it, saying, “protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than one million people to […]

UN Security Council rejects Russian resolution calling for ceasefire

As expected, a Russian-drafted Security Council resolution has failed to gather the required minimum of nine votes in the UN after the US-led opposition towards it for being insufficiently critical of Hamas. The draft called for a humanitarian ceasefire between Israel and Hamas as well as the release of captives held in Gaza and the safe evacuation of civilians. The US accused Russia of giving “cover” to Hamas after the group was not mentioned in the resolution. The US is continuing to urge Israel to minimise the risk of civilian casualties, according to an envoy. Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from the United Nations headquarters in New York.
