Russia's envoy Vassily Nebenzia labelled the US resolution a scam, noting that Russia does not tolerate ceasefire calls that lead to nowhere.

Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun on Friday said that the US-drafted resolution on Gaza at UN Security Council is intolerable as it lays preconditions for a ceasefire that will enable the continuation of the Gaza genocide. 

"The US draft, on the contrary, sets up preconditions for a ceasefire, which is no different from giving a green-light to continue killings, which is unacceptable," Zhang said.

He added that Zhang the draft resolution lacks balance and fails to explicitly oppose "Israel's" military plans in Rafah.

Outrage at the UN

These remarks come as the UN Security Council voted on a US-drafted resolution on Gaza. Those who vetoed the resolution included China, Russia, and the rotating member Algeria. The vetoes were issued on the basis that the ceasefire call was deemed ineffective.

Russia's envoy Vassily Nebenzia labelled the US resolution a "standard American deception" and said that Russia does not tolerate ceasefire calls that lead to nowhere.

Algeria's representative, on his part, lamented the rejection of a previous Algerian-drafted resolution.

Had the Council had adopted Algeria's resolution in late February, it could have prevented the loss of thousands of innocent lives, Algeria's UN representative Amar Benjama said.

More than a month ago, Algeria suggested sensible revisions to achieve a "text that is more balanced and acceptable." 

Regarding the US-drafted proposal, Benjama acknowledged that some of their proposals were included but "core concerns remained unaddressed."

The US has so far blocked all previous resolutions on Gaza.

The first veto was exercised on October 18, 2023, with a Brazil-drafted resolution, the second was on December 8, 2023, with a UAE-drafted resolution, and the third was on December 22, 2023, with a Russian-drafted resolution.

The most recent veto was exercised in late February on  Algeria's drafted resolution.

The US revised resolution called for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid in Gaza and "rejects any forced displacement of the civilian population in Gaza."

It also labelled the Resistance movement a "terrorist organization" and claimed it did not represent the people of Palestine.

It called for a ceasefire that "should lay the foundation for a sustainable ceasefire," once again "reiterating the vision of the two-state solution, with the Gaza Strip as part of the Palestinian State."
