Palestine slams UNSC for failing to pass latest ceasefire resolution

The deputy ambassador to the Palestine mission to the United Nations, Majed Bamya, says Israel’s ongoing deadly assault on Gaza has nothing to do with the Israeli captives held there.

A ceasefire would save “all lives” in the besieged enclave, he told the UN Security Council after the latest vote on a Gaza ceasefire resolution.

Bamya decried the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where famine is looming and is already “a reality in northern Gaza”, he said.

“The world should not grow accustomed to the death of Palestinians, to seeing Palestinian children starving,” Bamya said.


Hamas says US ‘direct partner’ in Israel’s war on Gaza

The Palestinian group has accused the US of being “directly responsible” for Israel’s “genocidal war” in Gaza after it vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire.

“Once again, the United States demonstrates that it is a direct partner in the aggression against our people, that it is criminal, kills children and women and destroys civilian life in Gaza, and that it is directly responsible for the genocidal war and ethnic cleansing, just like the occupation [Israel],” Hamas said in a statement.


Ceasefire resolution ‘roadmap to more bloodshed’: Israel’s UN representative

Israel’s United Nations representative Danny Danon denounced the UN Security Council resolution to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza and thanked the US for vetoing it.

“The resolution brought before this chamber was not a path to peace. It was a roadmap to more terror, more suffering, and more bloodshed,” he said. “We thank the US for exercising its veto, for standing on the side of morality and justice.”

Danon said that the draft resolution – had it passed – would have sent a message to “terrorists” that they could act with impunity. This text, he said, “rewards Hamas for their barbarity”.

Instead the Israeli terrorists can continue their reign of terror, inflict more daily suffering and bloodshed with total impunity. Look in the mirror, you and the US are turning to world back to the age of barbarity.
