Hamas condemned a US decision to veto a UN Security Council push for a Gaza ceasefire, saying it amounted to giving Israel the “green light” to carry out “more massacres”.
“This veto serves the agenda of the Israeli occupation, obstructs international efforts to stop the aggression, and increases the suffering of our people,” Hamas said in a statement. “The American position is a green light for the occupation to commit more massacres.”
The United States on Tuesday again vetoed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas war, blocking a demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. The veto comes as the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announced it is pausing deliveries of life-saving food aid to northern Gaza until conditions allow for safe distributions.
