USA blocks UNSC statement

Meanwhile, United States of America blocked UNSC statement condemning Israeli attacks in Gaza for third time.

A third United Nations Security Council emergency meeting in a week – amid the deadly Israeli offensive in Gaza – has again ended with no concrete outcome.

The meeting remained inconclusive because the USA blocked a joint statement.

China also accused USA for blocking the statement calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Meanwhile, the council is working to hold its fourth meeting on Tuesday.

The meeting on Sunday came after the US reportedly twice blocked over the last week resolutions that would have condemned Israel’s military response and called for a ceasefire.

Israeli airstrikes have killed over 200 Palestinians, including 58 children, in besieged Gaza enclave of over two million people.
