The fourth American veto against Gaza and the criminal’s return to the crime scene
Mehr News, International Group: on Wednesday for the Palestinians It was one of the thousands of bitter days that once again recorded America’s support for war and genocide in the history of the United Nations. By vetoing the draft resolution of the UN Security Council, America, once again, prevented the “implementation of an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza. This is the fourth time that America has done such an act and unabashedly supports the crimes of the Zionist regime. Expressing concern about the escalation of the humanitarian crisis and trying to give the people of Gaza immediate access to food, basic services and humanitarian aid necessary for survival were among the most important goals of the said draft. The drafters of this text condemned “imposing forced starvation on Palestinians” and called for “facilitating the full, fast, safe and unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid throughout Gaza”.
10 members of the UN Security Council, including Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Malta, Mozambique, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia and Switzerland, by writing this draft, They pointed out the alarming dangers of hunger and the difficult conditions of the people of Gaza and demanded an end to the critical situation of the people of Gaza, but with the veto of the United States, this collective effort went down the drain.
This vote was held while the United Nations warned that Palestinians in parts of northern Gaza under the siege of the Zionist forces are losing their survival because practically No contributions have been sent in the last 40 days. Earlier this month, an on-the-ground assessment prepared by UN-credentialed experts announced that famine is looming in northern Gaza.
Before the predictable US veto, the UN diplomatic envoy told reporters: “The Council’s deep concern about the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza It prompted an immediate reaction. Therefore, we held several consultation meetings. “Several weeks of consultation among all members of the Council have led to the writing of a draft whose main purpose is to stop the war and end the inhumane conditions and hunger of the people.” Ammar Benjama, the ambassador of Algeria, said: “This is a sad day for the Security Council, the United Nations and the international community because the fourteen members who drafted this draft called for a ceasefire on behalf of all members of the international community, but this goal was not achieved due to the US veto.” ».
The proponents of the draft also asked UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to prepare reports on the comprehensive needs assessment of Gaza within 90 days. After the US veto, China’s ambassador to the United Nations declared: “In the current situation, life has become more difficult for the Palestinians, and people are asking: What does this situation mean?” Also, the French ambassador criticized the American action and accused Louis Charbonneau, director of the Human Rights Watch (HRW) in Washington, of using his veto “once again” to guarantee Israel’s immunity.
Associated Press wrote from the words of the Deputy Permanent Observer of Palestine at the United Nations: “The failure of the most powerful UN body to end the war is followed by widespread anger and despair.” The lack of a cease-fire allows the full-scale Israeli assault against the Palestinian people and land to continue. You are witnessing an attempt to destroy a nation, to destroy a nation. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed so far. Do Israelis have the right to kill and our only right is to die?”
Hamas also strongly condemned America by publishing a statement and said: “The United States has once again shown its direct participation in killing and killing the Palestinian people and Acted as an accomplice in the killing of children and women and the complete destruction of civilian life in Gaza. We ask America to stop this hostile policy if it really wants to end the wars and achieve security and stability in the region.”
But Danny Danon, the ambassador of the Zionist regime to the United Nations, thanked and appreciated the US veto as the closest ally of the regime and claimed that the US, by using the right of veto He stands next to morality and justice!”
What are the main and secondary excuses of America?
Reporters and representatives of the world’s media and news agencies asked Robert Wood, the US deputy representative to the United Nations, to explain the reasons for the US veto, but he repeated the same words as usual. And after the vote, he said: “During the negotiations, we clearly stated that we do not support an unconditional ceasefire that does not lead to the release of prisoners.” The basic condition is that they be released.” Repeating previous accusations against Hamas, this American diplomat claimed that agreeing to a ceasefire is a dangerous message for the reorganization of Hamas and therefore there is no need to return to the negotiating table.
The words of the American representative show the fact that this country is once again seeking to make false accusations about Hamas and using the issue of prisoners as an excuse. search for a more important goal; A goal called “preventing the withdrawal of Zionist soldiers from Gaza”. This is what paves the way for the permanent occupation of Gaza. In this way, even in the last weeks of his tenure, Joe Biden’s government supports the discourse of occupation and genocide in Palestine, and the Zionist regime, with the same support, continues its relentless violence against civilians.
In the analytical report of the New York Times, it is pointed out that “the UN Security Council last year also tried to resolve the important issue of ending the Gaza war with numerous resolutions.” to the negotiating table. The United States vetoed three previous resolutions, saying at the time that Israel had the right to defend itself and that the time had not yet come to end the war. Even now, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is intensifying and there is no sign of the end of the war. This newspaper also emphasized that the release of prisoners is an issue that can be addressed after the implementation of the ceasefire.
America’s renewed action in supporting Netanyahu’s crimes, in the autumn cold of Gaza and in a situation where, in addition to the unavailability of sufficient food and drinking water, the health and education infrastructures of It has left the people of Gaza on the brink of famine and death.
