During a recent session at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield expressed strong criticism towards Russia and China for vetoing a US-proposed draft resolution that called for a ceasefire in Gaza tied to the release of hostages. The resolution aimed to secure an immediate and sustained ceasefire in the region.
Thomas-Greenfield highlighted that Russia and China failed to condemn Hamas for its attacks on October 7, despite nearly every council member supporting the resolution. She emphasized the importance of securing a ceasefire as part of a broader deal that would facilitate the release of hostages in Gaza.
