China says ‘deeply disappointed’ at US blocking Security Council resolution on Palestine
ISTANBUL (AA) – China has expressed its “deep” disappointment over the US vetoing a UN Security Council resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli situation.
“China is deeply disappointed at the US blocking a UN Security Council resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli situation,” said Mao Ning, spokeswoman for China’s Foreign Ministry.
The Security Council must act to de-escalate the conflict and prevent the humanitarian crisis from worsening, Mao stressed on X.
On Wednesday, the US vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution put forward by Brazil that demanded pauses in the war in Gaza for humanitarian purposes.
The resolution received 12 votes in favor, one against and two abstentions, from Russia and the UK.
Gaza is experiencing a dire humanitarian crisis, with no electricity, while water, food, fuel, and medical supplies are running out.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
