US, Russian bids on Israel-Hamas war fail at Security Council

The broader UN General Assembly is scheduled to debate the war over the next two days.

Ten countries in the UN Security Council backed the US resolution but Russia and China exercised their veto power.

The US, Israel’s historic backer which exercised its own veto last week, put forward a resolution that would support “humanitarian pauses” to let aid into the blockaded Gaza Strip and back the right of “all states” to self-defence within the confines of international law. “It has become clear from that the US simply doesn’t want UN Security Council decisions to have any kind of influence on a possible ground offensive by Israel in Gaza,” said the Russian representative, Vassily Nebenzia.

Secretary of state Antony Blinken, promoting the resolution during a high-level Security Council session on Tuesday, spoke of “humanitarian pauses” even while ruling out a formal ceasefire. Only Russia, China, the United Arab Emirates and Gabon voted for the draft resolution. The US and Britain voted no, with the other nine countries including US allies France and Japan abstaining.
