The USA used its veto power for the third time by refusing to accept the UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The agency reports this information Reuters.
While 13 members of the Security Council supported the draft resolution proposed by Algeria, the United Kingdom abstained from the vote. The text of the decision included demands for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, which must be observed by all parties to the conflict, as well as the release of all hostages without any preconditions.
Before the vote, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, called on Security Council members to support Algeria’s proposed draft resolution on the situation in the Middle East.
