China Claims US’s Veto In UN Truce Vote Heighten The Threat To Gaza

China said Wednesday that the United States’ decision to reject a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza had escalated the crisis into an even more dangerous situation.

On Tuesday, Washington rejected a UN Security Council resolution written by Algeria that called for an urgent humanitarian truce in war-torn Gaza and the unconditional release of all captives abducted in the October 7 strikes.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Washington’s ambassador to the UN, described the decision as wishful and irresponsible, saying it might jeopardize efforts to rescue captives in Gaza.

The veto drew outrage from China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and even close US allies France and Slovenia.

“China voted in favor of the draft resolution”, foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said during a routine briefing on Wednesday.

Mao went on to say, “The United States has once again single-handedly vetoed it, pushing the situation in Gaza into an even more dangerous situation, in which all parties concerned… have expressed their strong disappointment and dissatisfaction”.

“The humanitarian situation in Gaza is becoming extremely serious, and regional peace and stability have been severely impacted”, Mao continued.

“The Security Council must take action as quickly as possible to bring a halt to hostilities. This is a moral obligation that cannot be put off”, Mao added.

“We will continue to work with all parties in the international community to push the Security Council to take further responsible and meaningful actions, and make unremitting efforts to quell the war in Gaza at an early date”, foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning noted.
