The resolution received a vote of 13-0, with both \u2062Russia and the United States choosing not to exercise their veto authority and\u2064 abstaining \u2062from the voting. However, the resolution did not\u200d ask for a\u200c halt to the ongoing warfare.<\/p>\n<p>The United States objected\u2063 to\u2062 the resolution due to its phrasing, but U.S. Ambassador to\u2063 the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, still described it as &#8220;very strong&#8221; and emphasized that it had not been watered down. She highlighted that the resolution called\u200d for\u2064 urgent steps to allow humanitarian access and create conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. Thomas-Greenfield noted that this was the first time the council had used\u200d this language \u200band expressed the \u200dimportance of \u200dscaling \u200bup aid \u200band working towards a \u200blasting peace.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas-Greenfield also pointed out that\u200d the \u200bUnited States would not accept any further alterations to the \u2064draft resolution until it \u2063officially accepts it. The\u2064 United States \u200dhas previously maintained that any resolution must denounce Hamas for their attack on Israel\u200c on October 7th, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the kidnapping of over \u200b200 Israeli citizens. However, the\u2064 resolution does not denounce Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>While Thomas-Greenfield expressed encouragement that\u2062 the council addressed \u2064the humanitarian crisis, she expressed \u200bdeep\u200b disappointment\u2064 and confusion\u2064 as to why some council members are standing in the way of condemning \u200cHamas unequivocally. As one of the Security Council&#8217;s fifteen members with veto power, Thomas-Greenfield&#8217;s\u2064 perspective holds significant weight.<\/p>\n<p>It \u2063has been ten days \u2063since the UN General Assembly approved an &#8220;immediate humanitarian ceasefire&#8221;\u200c with 153 countries voting in favor. However, ten countries, including\u2064 the United States, voted against the \u200cresolution. According to\u200b U.N. reports, the \u200chostilities have\u2063 claimed the lives of at \u200dleast 20,000 people\u2064 in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the situation\u200d in\u2064 Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen have also posed a threat to ships in the Red Sea. The Pentagon\u200c has responded with a forceful warning, \u2063stating that their strikes\u200c target \u200bnot only one nation but the entire world as well. Israeli-affiliated ships in Yemen have been targeted by drone strikes and missile fire from Iran-supported rebels, leading \u200dthe Pentagon to assemble a multinational force to guard ships.<\/p>\n<p>While emergency aid for Gazans \u200bhas been approved by the United Nations, the\u200d continuation of warfare and the failure to denounce Hamas present ongoing challenges to achieving a lasting peace. The international community must continue to work\u200d towards a \u200dresolution that addresses \u2064the humanitarian crisis \u2062and ensures the safety and well-being of the people in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Representative Linda Thomas-Greenfield addresses the UN General Assembly emergency session on the Israel-Hamas conflict in New York City.
