Former State Department official Wa’el Alzayat describes the United Nations Security Council as “useless” because resolutions to tackle global issues can be vetoed by opposing member states.
Former State Department official Wa’el Alzayat informed Sputnik that the possibility of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abiding by calls for a ceasefire in Gaza even if the United States made them.
“I don’t think there’ll be a ceasefire soon… I really think even if the Biden administration eventually decides to support a ceasefire, I don’t think [Netanyahu] he’s going to listen to them for a while,” Alzayat said, adding, “I don’t think anybody will be able to control him.”
The former senior policy advisor to US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power and Syria Outreach Coordinator with Ambassador Robert Ford, argues that he expects Netanyahu will intend to continue military operations in Gaza for quite some time.
This comes as US President Joe Biden claimed last week there was no possibility for a ceasefire in Gaza, amid a State Department dissent memo accusing Biden of “spreading misinformation” on the war on Gaza and acknowledging that “Israel” is committing “war crimes” in the Strip, as per a copy of the memo obtained by Axios.
The memo, organized by a junior diplomat who previously indicated on social media that Biden’s support for “Israel” implicates him in genocide in Gaza, reveals significant internal divisions within the Biden administration regarding the war on Gaza
