By Janet Ekstract, NEW YORK- The reasoning behind the veto, the U.S. said is that it allows Hamas a chance to regroup. The U.S. had proposed amendments to the resolution, suggesting a humanitarian pause rather than a ceasefire. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that without a full ceasefire, the risk is high that the conflict will spread across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the World Heath Organization (WHO) has declared Gaza a humanitarian catastrophe and NGOs as well as reporters and eyewitnesses, report there is no water, no food, no fuel and minimal electric power. A Muslim delegation of foreign ministers from the Middle East and Africa was in the U.S. capitol Washington on Friday to urge the Biden administration to request Israel declare a full ceasefire. On Saturday, they were in Ottawa, Canada to see the Canadian foreign minister about the situation in Gaza.
As political analysts and government officials have reiterated, America has the power to stop the war in Gaza. There are still at least 130.hostages that need to be freed but the hardline government of Israeli.Prime Minister Netanyahu refuses to negotiate a humanitarian pause. The world is watching, mass global protests to stop the war continue in the U.S.and abroad. The warnings are clear: Gaza has become a wasteland and its people are hanging by a thread.
