🕊️ Gaza Crisis Escalates as U.S. Blocks Humanitarian Measures
In a move sparking global debate, the U.S. vetoed two UN Security Council resolutions aimed at easing Gaza’s humanitarian crisis this month. The first, led by Russia, called for a ceasefire. The second, proposed by Brazil, sought a temporary humanitarian pause. Both were rejected – and tensions are rising. 🌍⚖️
💣 The Vetoes That Shocked the World
President Biden’s social media posts insist the U.S. wants “peace,” but critics argue Washington’s actions tell another story. The U.S. criticized Russia’s ceasefire resolution for omitting Israel’s right to self-defense. Brazil’s revised proposal avoided the word “ceasefire” entirely, focusing instead on letting aid reach Gaza. Still, the U.S. struck it down. China called the move “unbelievable,” noting no objections were raised during negotiations.
🔥 Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Israel’s “total siege” of Gaza has blocked food, water, fuel, and electricity since October. Hospitals, already overwhelmed, now face critical shortages. Hours after the U.S. vetoed Brazil’s resolution, an airstrike hit Gaza’s Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, killing 500+. Israel initially claimed it targeted a “Hamas base” inside the hospital but later deleted the post and denied responsibility.
🌐 Global Backlash Grows
With over 4,000 Palestinian casualties reported, many question if the U.S. prioritizes its ally Israel over global stability. As one diplomat put it: “When vetoes protect politics over people, peace becomes collateral damage.” 💔
