Russia and China's representatives in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) have urged the United States to cooperate on a resolution that would ensure a ceasefire between the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza and the Israeli occupation.

During a meeting of the UNSC, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, emphasized the need to hold "regular open briefings" on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

The diplomat stressed the need to make the humanitarian situation a focal point of the UNSC, reiterating the need for an immediate ceasefire that the United States opposes.

Nebenzia underlined the United States' role in paralyzing the UN body's adoption of an immediate ceasefire.

"This polling situation has also been close due to the US position the Security Council has essentially been paralyzed and has still not been able to adopt a resolution with an immediate ceasefire."

The Representative underscored Washington's votes against two Russian resolutions, which he described as clear American and Israeli attempts to either eradicate Gaza's population or forcibly displace them from the Strip.

Nenebzia also questioned other Western states from abstaining from Russia's draft resolution

In the same context China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, similarly stressed the need to focus on critical issues in Gaza. 

"I hope that the US will earnestly adopt a responsible attitude and work together with members of the council," Zhang said on Monday.

Resistance calls for the release of all Palestinian prisoners

Russia's push for a ceasefire in Gaza has been met by US vetos and condemnations, as the US continues to plan and facilitate "Israel's" aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The occupation suffered a knockout blow when resistance fighters took over the Gaza Envelope in a few hours. This incident has put Washington's strategic interests in the region at risk, as it brought to light the fragility of the occupation's military.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was launched on October 7 in response to "Israel's" desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to free Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

The latest statistics, dating back to September this year, estimate that the occupation holds 5,200 prisoners, with the number only increasing as occupation forces launch wide-scale detainment campaigns in the West Bank.

The Palestinian Resistance has made its demands clear, saying that it would release all Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of all detainees from the occupation's prisons.

Resistance leaders have urged "Israel's" political and military command to admit defeat and meet its demands. However, authorities insist on reassembling the occupation's dismantled deterrence by launching a ground invasion into the Gaza Strip, to "uproot" the Palestinian Resistance.

This comes after the Resistance repelled multiple Israeli incursions into the Gaza Strip on multiple axes which concentrated at the north and the northeast of the Strip.

Consequently, the occupation has ramped up its bombing of civilian infrastructure, residential areas, medical teams, and the vicinities of hospitals. This has only worsened the humanitarian situation in Gaza in an aimless attempt to pressure the Resistance to compromise.
