This time, the United States was not in the opposing camp.
The American resolution advancing the “need for an immediate and lasting ceasefire” in Gaza was rejected this Friday by the UN Security Council.
If the project gathered eleven votes in favor, Russia and China, permanent members of the office of the United Nations Security Council, vetoed it.
Algeria also voted against.
Since the start of the war in the Middle East, Washington had always spoken out against the use of the term “ceasefire” in UN resolutions.
The country with the star-spangled banner had thus blocked three texts to this effect.
But while American representatives, including Joe Biden, changed their tone regarding Benjamin Netanyahu's strategy, the Americans finally presented a resolution formulating "the need for an immediate and lasting ceasefire for protect civilians on all sides, enable the delivery of essential humanitarian assistance.”
In vain.
