Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, framed the United States veto of Brazil’s draft resolution on the Israel-Palestine conflict as an illustration of Washington’s double standards. This view was conveyed through reporting from TASS. Cited by TASS.
Nebenzya described what he called hypocrisy and double standards from American colleagues. He suggested that the United States showed little genuine interest in the resolution, instead aiming to shift the balance of support to prevent the measure from passing without a veto. Cited by TASS.
Earlier, the United States vetoed the Brazilian text concerning the Middle East resolution in the UN Security Council, becoming the sole member to vote against the project. Russia and London abstained, while the remaining 12 members backed the resolution. The resolution would pass if it received at least nine votes in favor from the 15-member council and no veto from any state. Cited by TASS.
