The U.S. vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Friday demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, sparking global criticism. China's UN envoy Zhang Jun condemned the move as "double standards and hypocritical," calling it a blow to peace efforts. 🕊️
Zhang emphasized the urgency of ending civilian suffering, stating: "It is extremely hypocritical to both tolerate the continuation of the conflict and pay lip service to the protection of human rights." The resolution, supported by over 100 countries, aimed to halt the violence amid rising casualties. 💔
The veto highlights deepening divides in international diplomacy, with many nations questioning the U.S. stance. Analysts say the move could further strain relations in the Middle East—and reshape alliances in a TikTok-trending world where young voters increasingly demand accountability. 🌐📉
