"The United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution on Monday demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas" (Should note I believe this temporary only for Ramadan) The US abstained from the vote while "The remaining 14 council members voted for the resolution - proposed by the 10 elected members of the body - that also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. There was applause in the council chamber after the vote." "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the failure of the U.S. to veto the resolution was a "clear retreat" from its previous position and would hurt Israel's war efforts and bid to release more than 130 hostages still held by Hamas." "Following the U.N. vote, Netanyahu canceled a visit to Washington by a high-level delegation that was due to discuss a planned Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where some 1.5 million Palestinians have sought shelter. The U.S. was perplexed by Israel's decision and considered it an overreaction, said a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity." https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-security-council-demands-immediate-ceasefire-gaza-2024-03-25/ TC: 330
not only did the us abstain but it also provides the munitions
Fuck Israel.
Elections are coming, and Michigan is giving US administration some reasons to worry. Not surprised that US is now back-pedaling. OP - the resolution also asked for immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas. This aspect of one of the the main causes behind war barely gets mentioned in popular media.
Netanyahu needs to be arrested in his next visit
The irony of asking for a ceasefire during a holiday when Palestinians planned the terrorist attack that started this whole thing on a Jewish holiday is laughable. Biden is a career politician, itโs natural for him to flip flop on these positions. Hopefully they release all of the hostages unconditionally and get their ceasefire
Israel is a terrorist state, the whole world will treat it as a terrorist state. It will join ranks of Iran, Afghanistan etc as a state promoter of terrorism. Soon Israel will be on the banned list of countries like several Muslim countries. Soon Israel will join hands in the terrorist arms of their Semitic brothers.
This will help Trump get elected. Biden is pandering to the extreme left and it's going to cost him with independents
Why is it a clear retreat for the US? Didnโt the US suggest a resolution a week ago?
I think US resolutions have in the past also held the condition of the release of hostages and blaming Hamas, while only alluding to the need of an immediate ceasefire rather than requiring one.
Sounds good! Free ๐
