The US has pronounced a veto for the design solution of the UN Security Council in which is called for an “unconditional and permanent” striking -the fire in Gaza.
The other 14 members voted for the document, which also demanded the release of all hostages and the lifting of humanitarian auxiliary restrictions.
The US ambassador of the UN, Dorothy Shea, said that the resolution would “undermine diplomatic efforts” to achieve a ceasefire -and added that the UN Hamas did not label as a terrorist organization. Hamas is described as such by the US, the UK and the EU.
“We would not support any measure that Hamas does not condemn and does not call on Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza,” she said.
It comes in the midst of growing concern about the distribution of help in Gaza, with more than two million people who run the risk of hunger, according to the UN, after a total Israeli ban on food and other help that lasted 11 weeks.
Aid distribution has recently been taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a group in Israel and the American group supported by the US to replace UN agencies and other organizations in the region.
In the past few days there have been a series of fatal incidents on the route to an aid distribution location in Gaza, run by GHF.
The British ambassador in the UN Barbara Woodward explained that she voted for the design presolution because Great Britain wants to end the “unbearable situation in Gaza” and that the country sees a ceasefire as the best way to “achieve a long-term political solution”.
She added that Israel now “must end his limitations” and “the UN and Humanitarians have their work done to save lives, reduce suffering and retain dignity”.
Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas' attacks on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were hostage.
Since then, at least 54,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including 4.201 since Israel resumed his offensive on March 18, according to the health minister of the territory.
