China disappointed over US veto on UN ceasefire vote

Zhang Jun says the veto sends a wrong message, pushing the situation in Gaza into a more dangerous one.

UNITED NATIONS: China expressed “strong disappointment” over the US blocking a draft UN Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas war calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, Xinhua reported on Wednesday, citing China’s permanent representative to the UN Zhang Jun.

The US on Tuesday vetoed for the third time a draft UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution, blocking a demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire as it instead pushes the 15-member body to call for a temporary ceasefire linked to the release of hostages held by Hamas.

Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice

 

- Matthew 26:34 (KJV)

“China expresses its strong disappointment at and dissatisfaction with the US veto,” Xinhua reported Zhang Jun as saying.

“The US veto sends a wrong message, pushing the situation in Gaza into a more dangerous one,” Zhang said, adding that objection to ceasefire in Gaza is “nothing different from giving the green light to the continued slaughter”.

The US capacity for cruelty and love of Israeli genocidal sins is beyond belief, truly an astonishing display of heinous evil barbarism.
