The U.S. will use its veto power against a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations during a vote at the Security Council expected to take place Thursday evening. Vedant Patel, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, described as premature an effort by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to gain member status at the U.N. He said there was not unanimity among the Security Council’s 15 members that the Palestinian Authority had met the criteria for membership, with unresolved questions over the governance of the Gaza Strip, where Israel is in a war to defeat and eliminate the controlling power, Hamas. “And for that reason, the United States is voting no on this proposed Security Council resolution,” Patel said.

Earlier it was revealed that the United States was secretly pressuring other members of the Security Council to shoot down a Palestinian state membership so the US wouldn't have to use its veto as that would lead to a wave of local and international criticism for Joe Biden.

"(...) it must be shown to American Jews that the choice between Israel’s survival and Palestinian rights is a false one; that it is in fact Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights and reflexive resort to criminal force that are pushing it toward destruction; that it is possible to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict so that everyone, Israeli Jew and Palestinian Arab, can preserve their full human dignity; and that such a settlement has been within reach for decades, but that Israel—with critical U.S. backing, largely because of the Israel lobby—has blocked it."

--- Norman G. Finkelstein in the book 'Knowing Too Much'

Security Council ceasefire resolution brings ‘little hope’ to Gaza as Israeli genocide rages on

“We believe the reality around us, not the Security Council,” Huda Amer, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, tells Mondoweiss.

The political bureau chief of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, is in the Iranian capital for high-level talks. The visit to Tehran comes a day after the UNSC passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Every time i scroll on TikTok and see a video about how Palestine is being let down or how middle eastern countries were destroyed by the western world I just want to punch someone and then I want to give up my dream of becoming a prosecutor to go into international law instead

But then I remember that the UN is corrupt and controlled by said western countries and nothing will change unless we dismantle the whole thing to start over and then I want to punch someone even more and then I just want to give up

But then I remember that at least if I could make some vague semblance of a difference, it would be worth it even if nothing ever changes

And then the cycle starts over and repeats itself

Once again, the US vetoes a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Other than them only the UK abstained and the rest voted in favor of the resolution.

The resolution had over 90 co-sponsors.

The security council needs to be reformed if not abolished.

🇺🇳🇵🇸 🚨 UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 2722 PASSES WITH U.S. AND RUSSIAN ABSTENTIONS

The United Nations Security Council passed resolution 2722 on Friday, adopting text which calls for “unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale directly to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip”.

Resolution 2722, introduced by the delegate representing the United Arab Emirates, calls for boosting aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip.

The resolution falls far short of previous efforts which called for "an immediate cessation of hostilities" and an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire".

A total of 13 Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution while no country voted against it. However, both the United States and the Russian Federation abstained from voting.

The United States abstained in support of Israel and its ongoing genocide of Palestinians, while the Russians abstained because it perceived the provisions of the resolution as "toothless".

The resolution provides no provisions for the monitoring of a cessation of hostilities, however it does call for setting the stage for an eventual cessation of hostilities. Though this does little good to the besieged Palestinian population of Gaza facing bombardment, disease, starvation and dehydration right now.

AHEAD OF THE United Nations Security Council action to consider the Palestinian Authority’s application to become a full member of the international body, the United States is lobbying nations to reject such membership, hoping to avoid an overt “veto” by Washington. The lobbying effort, revealed in copies of unclassified State Department cables obtained by The Intercept, is at odds with the Biden administration’s pledge to fully support a two-state solution. In 2012, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution granting Palestine the status of a non-member observer state. The diplomatic cables detail pressure being applied to members of the Security Council, including Malta, the rotating president of the council this month. Ecuador in particular is being asked to lobby Malta and other nations, including France, to oppose U.N. recognition. The State Department’s justification is that normalizing relations between Israel and Arab states is the fastest and most effective way to achieve an enduring and productive statehood. While clarifying that President Joe Biden has worked vigorously to support “Palestinian aspirations for statehood” within the context “of a comprehensive peace that would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” a diplomatic cable dated April 12 details U.S. talking points against a U.N. vote for Palestinian statehood. The cable says that Security Council members must be persuaded to reject any proposal for Palestinian statehood — and thereby its recognition as a sovereign nation — before the council’s open debate on the Middle East, scheduled for April 18. “It remains the U.S. view that the most expeditious path toward a political horizon for the Palestinian people is in the context of a normalization agreement between Israel and its neighbors,” the cable reads. “We believe this approach can tangibly advance Palestinian goals in a meaningful and enduring way.” “We therefore urge you not to support any potential Security Council resolution recommending the admission of ‘Palestine’ as a U.N. member state, should such a resolution be presented to the Security Council for a decision in the coming days and weeks.”
