WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The UN Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave.
Hamas, in a statement, reiterated that it will not disarm and argued that its fight against Israel is legitimate resistance, potentially pitting the militant group against the international force authorized by the resolution.
Russia, which holds a veto on the Security Council, earlier signaled potential opposition to the resolution but abstained from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass. The UN ambassadors of Russia and China also abstained, complained that the resolution does not give the UN a clear role in the future of Gaza.
If anything the entire world would understand if Russia and China said they opposed the resolution for not promising statehood to Palestinians. There are so many other easy angles to oppose this resolution besides disarming the resistance.
It’s lawyer shit. Everything that happens at the UN is lawyer shit and it’s going to be coming up in court cases for centuries
It’s not lawyer shit this is about sending an international fighting force to disarm the resistance in Gaza for Israel.
Israel is backed by the United States in the UN. An uncooperative Israel can effectively block this.
Alternatively it could devolve into something truly horrific, as you suspect. And the other members of the security council will deeply regret their votes.
Israel doesn’t want to block this. The plan does everything they want. Disarm the resistance, no security guarantees for Palestinians from Israeli attacks, and no statehood for Palestinians.
It does not expel or kill most of the survivors.
Yes it does. It couples IDF withdrawal from Gaza beyond the yellow line to disarming of the Palestinian resistance.
China and Russia have endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
