In a pivotal moment at the United Nations, the General Assembly is poised for a crucial vote on Tuesday, deliberating a non-binding resolution that urgently calls for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
The UN General Assembly is set to vote on Tuesday on a non-binding resolution urging an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza; a plea that the inactive Security Council has not been able to make.
The United States, one of the five permanent Security Council members, vetoed a draft resolution on Friday, highlighting a clear complicity in the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The Council, after over a month since the commencement of the brutal Israeli genocide, finally issued a collective but feeble call for humanitarian “pauses” in mid-November, following four previously rejected texts.
The recent failure of the Security Council drew condemnation from numerous countries and human rights organizations. UN Secretary-General Guterres expressed concern on Sunday, stating that the authority and credibility of the Council had been “undermined”.
Gaza Health Ministry reported that since October 7, 18,205 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, have been massacred in “Israel’s” hysteric bombardment.
