American lawyer: Joe Biden does not value the lives of Palestinians

American lawyer and activist Zahar told Al Jazeera: It is shameful that America continues to support the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians.

He continued: Biden once again showed us that the lives of the Palestinians are not valuable to him. He could have stopped the killing. He could have ended the war with a phone call, but he chose not to. As American Arabs, we know exactly what his position is

The United States of America once again vetoed the proposed resolution to establish an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, this time presented by Algeria on behalf of the Arab group countries in the United Nations, despite receiving 13 positive votes from the members of this council.

The United States vetoed the draft resolution proposed by Algeria, which called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, which must be respected by all parties.

This resolution won 13 positive votes of the 15-member Security Council, but the United States opposed it, causing it not to be approved or the same veto of the resolution. England, another member of the Security Council, also abstained.

This is the third time that the proposed resolution to establish a ceasefire in Gaza has been vetoed by the US. A resolution to be approved by the Security Council requires 9 votes without opposition or the veto of five permanent members of this council (America, England, Russia, China and France).

The strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council, in justifying the opposition and veto of the United States in the UN Security Council for the third time with the proposed resolution to establish an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, claimed that this resolution is the current “sensitive negotiations” about the release of the “hostages”. He was endangering Hamas.
