Russia & China veto UN action on Middle East conflict

Published

on

Russia and China took a decisive stance by vetoing a resolution drafted by the United States.

This resolution is aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The contentious vote occurred on October 25, 2023, at the U.N. headquarters in New York.

The U.S.-drafted resolution sought to tackle the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, emphasising the need for temporary ceasefires to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid to the affected population.

However, Russia and China, two permanent members of the U.N. Security Council with veto power, expressed their opposition to the resolution. This move, in essence, blocked the resolution’s passage.

Notably, the United Arab Emirates also voted against the resolution, aligning itself with Russia and China in their veto. On the other side of the aisle, ten member states of the Security Council voted in favour of the resolution, while two abstained from casting their votes.

This development underscores the continuing challenges and complexities surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict. The conflict, which has persisted for years, has led to numerous humanitarian concerns, with the civilian population in Gaza bearing the brunt of the hostilities. The U.S. resolution aimed to address these concerns by advocating for temporary ceasefires to facilitate the delivery of essential aid to those in need.

Biden urges calm after election upset

U.S. President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to “bring down the temperature” after Donald Trump’s stunning return to the presidency.

Speaking to Democrats shaken by Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat, Biden urged, “Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable.”

He praised the election as proof of America’s strong and trustworthy electoral system, stressing that it remains “honest, fair, and transparent.”

Biden extended an invitation to President-elect Trump to meet at the White House—a gesture Trump himself had not extended in 2020.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team confirms he plans to meet with Biden soon, as he begins building his leadership team.

Some Democrats say Biden, now 81, may have hurt Harris’ chances by initially seeking re-election, only dropping his bid after a difficult TV debate in July.
