The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants to allow humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip.
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 18 - The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pausesThe vote on the Brazilian-drafted text was twice delayed in the last couple of days as the United States tries to broker aid access to Gaza. Twelve members voted in favor of the draft text on Wednesday, while Russia and Britain abstained.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to allow for the release of hostages and humanitarian aid access to Gaza. "I fear that we are at the brink of a deep and dangerous abyss that could change the trajectory of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, if not of the Middle East as a whole," said Wennesland, addressing the council via video from Doha.
Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was disappointed the draft resolution made no mention of Israel's rights of self defense and she blamed Hamas for the Gaza humanitarian crisis. U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths told the Security Council on Wednesday: "We urgently need a mechanism agreed by all relevant parties to allow for a regular provision of emergency needs throughout Gaza."
