The move by the United States comes after it vetoed a Brazilian-drafted text on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants, to allow aid access to Gaza.
The US draft text does not call for any pause or truce in the fighting. It calls on all states to try and stop the “violence in Gaza from spilling over or expanding to other areas in the region, including by demanding the immediate cessation by Hezbollah and other armed-groups of all attacks.” Thomas-Greenfield said on Wednesday that the US was disappointed the Brazilian draft did not mention Israel’s right to self-defence. The US text states that Israel has such a right under Article 51 of the founding UN Charter.
