In a significant diplomatic showdown, the United Nations Security Council is set to vote on a resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, along with unrestricted humanitarian access. This effort is being led by the council’s non-permanent members, despite the looming threat of another US veto.
The resolution, put forward by the 10 non-permanent members of the Security Council, calls for an immediate, unconditional, and lasting ceasefire in Gaza. It also demands the release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups, as well as an end to Israeli restrictions on aid deliveries to the Palestinian enclave.
The United States, however, has cast its sixth veto on this matter, blocking the resolution that received 14 votes in favor. This move has sparked outrage and disappointment among many, with the Algerian ambassador to the UN, Amar Bendjama, expressing regret and asking for forgiveness from the Palestinian people.
This issue is expected to take center stage at the upcoming annual UN summit in New York, highlighting the urgency and gravity of the situation in Gaza.
Despite the US opposition, the international community continues to push for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza, emphasizing the importance of humanitarian access and the protection of civilians caught in the crossfire.
As the Security Council vote unfolds, tensions remain high, with global attention focused on the outcome and its implications for the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
