Ambassador Robert Wood, center, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council over the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023 at U.N. headquarters. Russia’s United Nations Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya addresses the U.N.
In that vote, four countries voted in favor – Russia, China, United Arab Emirates and Gabon. The United States and United Kingdom voted against, and nine countries abstained. The resolution wasn’t adopted because it failed to get the minimum nine “yes” votes.by the United States that would have condemned the Hamas attacks and all violence against civilians and called for “humanitarian pauses.”
Before the vote, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council that last week she had said diplomacy needed to play out before it approved a resolution. She pointed to action by U.N.
United Arab Emirates Ambassador Lana Nusseibeh, the Arab representative on the council who voted against the U.S. resolution and for the Russian draft, said the U.N. and humanitarian organizations have made clear that what is essential is a humanitarian cease-fire, the release of all hostages, and sustained humanitarian access to Gaza.
Those who voted against the resolution showed the world the Security Council is incapable of condemning “terrorists and cannot confirm the right to self -defense of the victim of these heinous crimes.”
