On Wednesday, the United States used its veto energy against a UN Security Council resolution that calls for an “immediate, absolute, and lasting stalemate” between Israel and Hamas in Gaza as well as unlimited access to humanitarian help. The document was supported by the remaining 14 committee members because Gaza’s population is facing serious charitable challenges. According to acting US embassy Dorothy Shea, suggesting it would sacrifice American-led peace negotiations,” The United States has been clear: We would never help any measure that fails to denounce Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza.” Washington’s position as Israel’s main ally and supplier of weapons continues to be significant. Following the termination of the March truce, Israeli operations continued in Gaza. Israeli strikes have left 45 people dead, according to Gaza health officials, while Israel has confirmed one military casualty. Barbara Woodward, the British UN ambassador, criticized Israel’s increased military actions and aid restrictions as “unjustifiable, disproportionate, and counterproductive.” Israel continues to object to a permanent ceasefire. Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, said,” You chose appeasement and submission. You made a choice that does not lead to tranquility. Only more terror .” Hamas criticized the US veto as demonstrating” the US administration’s blind bias” toward Israel. Additionally, the resolution demanded that Hamas release the hostages right away. Following Hamas ‘ attack on October 7, 2023, which left 1,200 Israelis dead and 250 hostages, the conflict grew. According to the Gaza authorities, Israel’s response has resulted in more than 54 000 Palestinian deaths, primarily among civilians. On May 19, a limited amount of UN aid was resumed, followed by the distribution system for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Hamas claims that Israel defrauds the government, which Hamas denies. The US and Israel support UN cooperation with GHF, which employs private American security firms. Shea stated that no one wants to see Palestinian civilians in Gaza become famined or thirsty, noting that the resolution addressed previous issues with aid delivery. UN organizations object to GHF collaboration, citing neutrality concerns. Following Tuesday’s incident, GHF operations halted on Wednesday and requested more Israeli military assistance for civilian safety. Since its founding, the foundation has distributed more than 7 million meals. Tom Fletcher, the UN’s director of aid, pushed for unrestricted humanitarian access. Samuel Zbogar, Slovenia’s ambassador, expressed frustration with the suffering of the populace. A similar resolution may be introduced at the UN General Assembly, where it seems likely to be without veto powers. Don’t waste more of your time, Danon remarked,” No resolution, no vote, no moral failure, will stand in our way.”
