If the UN and those nations pressuring Israel into a ceasefire genuinely cared about Palestinian lives, then the pressure would be on Hamas to surrender and on Egypt to open its doors for refugees. Yet no such pressure is being exerted. Israel has tried to evacuate citizens from Rafah. UN Relief chief Martin Griffiths not only admitted that he does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group, but he also stated that the Israelis did all they could, “to their credit,” to evacuate Gazans to a safe location. Still, the jihadist-infiltrated UN has blocked such efforts. Prior to the latest UN ceasefire vote, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that there is “growing consensus emerging in international community to tell Israel a ceasefire is needed.’” The latest passage of yet another ceasefire demand at the UN is for the specific purpose of systematically pressuring the Jewish state into compliance, and in the worst case scenario, putting it on the road to ultimate extinction.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued the following statement after the US abstention:
Regrettably, the United States did not veto the new resolution, which calls for a ceasefire that is not contingent on the release of hostages.
This constitutes a clear departure from the consistent US position in the Security Council since the beginning of the war.
Today’s resolution gives Hamas hope that international pressure will force Israel to accept a ceasefire without the release of our hostages, thus harming both the war effort and the effort to release the hostages.
Prime Minister Netanyahu made it clear last night that should the US depart from its principled policy and not veto this harmful resolution, he will cancel the Israeli delegation’s visit to the United States. In light of the change in the US position, PM Netanyahu decided that the delegation will remain in Israel.
Israel has already made it crystal clear that no ceasefire will happen until the Hamas threat is eliminated. No one can deny that war is inevitably brutal. Despite the knowledge that Israel’s very existence being threatened, the UN has passed no resolutions calling upon Hamas to surrender, or pressuring Egypt to take in refugees. In fact, the only refugees that Egypt is taking in are those who are able to pay a bribe. Some Palestinians are “paying thousands of dollars to fixers connected to the Egyptian government.” These Egyptian government-connected “fixers” are lining their pockets with “exorbitant” amounts of cash that the refugees are handing over to them. The fixers are motivated by money and not by any desire to save lives, yet leftists don’t criticize them.
In a follow-up statement from the Government Press Office after Hamas rejected a ceasefire offer, the Prime Minister’s Office added:
Hamas’s stance clearly demonstrates its utter disinterest in a negotiated deal and attests to the damage done by the UN Security Council’s resolution.
Hamas has once again rejected an American compromise proposal and has repeated its extreme demands: An immediate halt to the war, the complete withdrawal of the IDF from the Gaza Strip and leaving in place its administration so that it can repeat, time and again, the massacre of October 7, as it has promised to do.
Hamas rebuffed all US offers for a compromise, while celebrating the Security Council’s resolution.
Israel will not address Hamas’s delusional demands. Israel will pursue and achieve its just war objectives: Destroying Hamas’s military and governmental capacities, release of all the hostages, and ensuring Gaza will not pose a threat to the people of Israel in the future.
Israel finds itself isolated and betrayed by its allies at the most critical point in its history. French President Emmanuel Macron has told Netanyahu “that any forced transfer of people from the southern Gaza city of Rafah would constitute ‘a war crime.’” Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has stated that “Israel’s reaction against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza conflict has been disproportionate.” The UK and Australia issued a joint statement, calling for an “immediate” end to fighting in Gaza. Canada intends to uphold a non-binding motion passed in Parliament calling for a “halt to arms exports to Israel in light of the Gaza war.”
Every anti-Israel nation has gone to war for territory, and World War II was the most brutal war in history, with deaths of 40 to 50 million people. The Israeli war against Hamas is defensive and is war for Israel’s survival, yet Israel is being singled out despite full and documented knowledge of Hamas’ determination to obliterate the Jewish state.
When Joe Biden backed New York Senator Chuck Schumer’s call for new elections in Israel, I predicted that the Biden team would slyly create a crisis in Israel in order to aid its electoral chances in November. I noted that Biden’s dilemma in the upcoming U.S. elections is his dependence on the Muslim vote and the pressure he has been receiving from Muslim communities. By shifting attention to Israel and the Netanyahu government, Biden diverts scrutiny from his own poor record, and creates an excuse for evading his responsibility to ally with Israel against jihad terror. He also gets to shift blame away from his administration for pouring billions into the coffers of Iran. Creating a crisis to avert attention and responsibility has become a signature ploy of Democrats.
Should Israel accept a ceasefire, it will see attacks that will be worse than October 7.

No surprise here. As Islam conquers more nations. The more nations will be represented by Islam.
Soon the UN will be a Islamic origination controlling the world. The Head of the WHO is the poster child of that control who came from a Muslim nation
Mike says
Is Tedros Adnom Gebreyesus a Muslim himself though?

The UN is and always has been more corrupt than Nigeria. It was only the grown ups veto that kept them under control. Currently Putin is too busy to give a damn. And the USA no longer has any grown ups in charge.

SC, Having worked in Nigeria for four years 2002 to 2006, I can vouch for your statement about corruption and evilness. Since I believe that most Americans have come to regard the UN with contempt, I am not surprised about any resolution against anything good and honest but for a president of the US to not defend one of its most loyal allies is an act of treason against ourselves not to mention his perfidiousness against Isael.

Many members in UN are antisemits and now they show their faces.
Many members are muslims
Dissolve UN because they are many muslims there who deliberately want to destroy the democratic world
tim gallagher says
The UN seems to be dominated by corrupt, horrible countries,( I suppose it represents the world well in that sense) but this very trendy fashion these days for supporting the Palestinian Muslims, as though they were some lovely cuddly endangered species which they are not, and hating Israel and the Jews, the only civilised and decent people in the entire Middle East, has been growing for years and is now like some full on insanity. It has been disgusting watching this trendy insanity come about.

“U.N. expert says Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, calls for arms embargo”
“GENEVA (Reuters) – A United Nations expert told the global body’s Human Rights Council on Tuesday that she believed that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza since Oct. 7 amounted to genocide and called on countries to immediately impose sanctions and an arms embargo.
“It is my solemn duty to report on the worst of what humanity is capable of and to present my findings,” Francesca Albanese, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Occupied Territories, told the U.N. rights body in Geneva, presenting a report called “The Anatomy of a Genocide”.
“I find that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide against Palestinians as a group in Gaza has been met,” she said, citing more than 30,000 Palestinians killed among other acts.
“I implore member states to abide by their obligations, which start with imposing an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel and so ensure that the future does not continue to repeat itself,” she said, prompting a burst of applause.
The 1948 Genocide Convention, enacted in the wake of the mass murder of Jews in the Nazi Holocaust, defines genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

It is all inversion. When seeking for truth these days, invert the story. It is sick. I did not thin k I would live in such evil times.

Ive noticed that the current people running America today appear to be more concerned about a ceasefire in the Israeli-Gaza situation where one people attacked another brutally but no words about a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine situation and I wonder why and do you think it has something to do with a money flow.
Which situation is a bigger danger to the World at large ?.
Inquiring minds want to know.

The following is one prophesy of hundreds if not thousands regarding what many call the end of days. Take note, the time is coming that the world will turn against Israel , then vast armies will attack her as you can see in Luke. However, Christ Himself returns before the utter destruction of Israel because at long last , as a nation, Israel cries out to Him. At that time Christ Himself will utterly destroy the enemies of Israel and of Himself. I used to wonder how this would be possible as I assumed the US would always stand with Israel, my nation betrays Israel but not all of us in America betray Israel, we are deeply angered by the evil our nation has engaged in. I pray for Israel that they will cry out for our redeemer soon. Luke 21 20“When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
