The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the arbitrary and disgraceful use of the United States' veto in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) against the resolution presented by Algeria to stop the aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The ministry stated that the veto by the United States marks another stain on the history of the UNSC. This marked the third instance of the US using its veto power in support of "Israel", and to prevent UNSC resolutions calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

It further commented that the use of the US veto is evident proof of its hypocrisy and the falsehood of its claims regarding the preservation of human rights worldwide. It serves as confirmation of its continued support for the Israeli killing machine against our Palestinian people.

US vetoes Algeria's UNSC resolution demanding ceasefire in Gaza

The US blocked Tuesday a UN Security Council resolution sponsored by Algeria calling for an emergency humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

13 members of the UN Security Council voted in favor, while the United Kingdom abstained and the US vetoed the resolution.

The proposed resolution called for "an immediate humanitarian ceasefire that must be respected by all parties."

The resolution also urges all involved in the war to "comply with their obligations under international law," particularly regarding civilians and hostages, in addition to demanding the immediate release of all captives.

The "full, rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access into and throughout the entire Gaza Strip," is also declared in the resolution.

The US envoy to the UN Linda Greenfield claimed that the draft resolution was not "an effective mechanism," rejecting any ceasefire until the release of captives. 

China's representative to the UN, Zhang Jun, expressed regret and frustration that the Algerian draft resolution did not pass.

Jun expressed that the proposed resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire does not achieve long-term peace. Rather, it will exacerbate the current crisis in Gaza.
