US vetoes UN Security Council action on Israel, Gaza

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.



The vote on the Brazilian-drafted text was twice delayed in the past 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.

 "The United States is disappointed this resolution made no mention of Israel's rights of self defense," US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said after the vote.

The resolution said the Council "firmly condemns all violence and hostilities against civilians and all acts of terrorism."

  1. Постоянный представитель США при ООН Линда Томас-Гринфилд заявила 18 октября, что резолюция Бразилии по ситуации в секторе Газа не отражает право Израиля на самооборону. Ее слова проводит Организация Объединенных Наций на своем сайте.

    Таким образом она объяснила, почему Соединенные Штаты в ходе заседания Совбеза ООН наложили вето на бразильскую резолюцию.

    «Израилю присуще стремление к самообороне, как это отражено в статье 51 Устава ООН», — добавила она.
