The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday’s measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

      If you could argue against what I said you wouldn’t resort to putting words in my mouth, mate.

      And if you could read you would know that both Israelies and Palestinians are the “local population” with somewhat dubious historic claims over the land spanning back >3000 years.

      Need I remind you that it was the British that drew the maps that have lead us to where we are today?

        The first were there and then the second arrived. Quit putting them face-to-face. Everybody with a brain can see when a side is killing 50k+ people, they are in the wrong. That human shield hostage bullcrap is just propaganda.

        Did you find those 7th of october rape victim yet? They should be stored somewhere around Saddam’s mustard gazes. It just works with westoid because racism is endemic there. You probably think arabs / brown people are inherently rapists.
