Islamic Jihad: Trump Administration Is the Main Driver of Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians

According to the English ⁣section of webangah News Agency,citing Mehr News Agency and Palestinian ​Shihab ⁢News Agency,the Palestinian‍ Islamic Jihad ‍Movement declared in a statement: “The US government’s use ‍of ‍its veto ⁣power to block the‍ draft resolution on Gaza is further evidence that the Trump administration is an‍ active partner and principal driver of Israeli ⁢regime crimes ⁤against ‍the Palestinian people.”

The statement continued: “The Trump administration’s stance, coupled wiht Israel’s expanding assault on ‍Gaza as part of Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to reshape the region, not only disregards international and ⁣humanitarian laws but also ignores both the people in ‍this ‍region and their⁣ governments, which have⁢ been divided into two camps-either powerless before⁤ Israel or complicit with⁤ it.”

Just hours ago, in‌ support of Israel, the US government again⁣ vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution calling for an end to hostilities in Gaza.

Ten ⁤elected (non-permanent) members ⁣of the Security Council⁤ had requested approval for a draft resolution emphasizing a permanent ceasefire in Gaza along with humanitarian ⁢aid access for⁣ those affected.

On June 3, 2020, Washington previously ‌vetoed a UN‍ Security Council ⁢resolution demanding an immediate,‌ unconditional, and ‌lasting‍ ceasefire between Israel ⁢and Hamas in Gaza ‍and also unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance.

The‌ United States has provided thorough material and⁤ military support enabling what ⁣critics describe as genocide carried out by Israel against Palestinians. ‌It ‌has also ⁣repeatedly ⁢vetoed all Security Council ⁤resolutions aimed⁢ at establishing ceasefires⁢ in Gaza.
