Russia’s criticism of America’s reluctance to cease fire in Gaza

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, citing Dmitri Poliansky from “Tas” news agency, The first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations announced that the United States is not interested in establishing a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as in the past and did not add any request for a ceasefire in its new draft resolution on the situation in the region that it submitted to the Security Council.

The Russian diplomat wrote on his Telegram channel this morning, Friday: “I heard rumors, quoting [Anthony] Blinken, the US Secretary of State, that apparently the United States has for the first time drafted a resolution presented to the UN Security Council, which called for a cease-fire in Gaza. Before anyone believes this, I want to explain: this is a typical American deception.”

Polyansky noted that the new draft is similar to the previous document in that it contains a unilateral “condemnation” of the Palestinian side. As for the cause of the conflict in large numbers, there are no calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. This draft only says that the creation of such a regime is important only in the context of the release of hostages. And the “green light” has actually been lit for Israeli military operations in Rafah. He stressed that this is not a resolution that humanitarian agencies in Gaza need. Mentioning the importance of any simple action and call in the documents of the UN Security Council will not lead to their implementation in reality. The Security Council does not call, but calls for actions, and in this regard, direct and strict instructions are needed.

The diplomat further noted that the United States is still not interested in establishing a real ceasefire in Gaza. It does not want to stop Israel from carrying out its military operations in this region, and it is just a fantasy and is far from reality.

We are particularly concerned about the escalation of Israeli air force attacks against civilian targets in Syria, including in the Blue Line area, Nebenzia said. Such irresponsible actions are fraught with the risk of bringing Syria and a number of its neighbors to a full-scale confrontation in the region.

He emphasized that Russia strongly condemned these attacks and considered it a gross violation of Syria’s sovereignty and He knows the basic standards of international law. According to Nebenzia, Israel’s shelling of Syria has negative consequences for the UN response forces in the region. He added: The presence of illegally stationed military forces from Western countries in the northern and northeastern regions of Syria also increases the tension between this country and Israel. It is considered the border between Lebanon, Israel and the Golan Heights. The United Nations held it in 2000 in order to draw the borders of Lebanon and present specific requests to Israel to withdraw its forces from this country.
