(Full) Security Council: US-proposed Draft for Sustained Ceasefire in Gaza Vetoed | United Nations

- The US-led draft, which took weeks to reach a vote, stated the "imperative" for “an immediate and sustained ceasefire to protect civilians on all sides”, facilitating “essential” aid delivery and supporting ongoing talks between Israel and Hamas militants to create a sustainable end to the hostilities, tied to the release of hostages.
Here are the highlights of all this morning's intense diplomatic action.
HIGHLIGHTS
A US-proposed draft to end the war in Gaza was vetoed by permanent Council members China and Russia, in a vote of 11 favour to three against (Algeria, China, Russia) and one abstention (Guyana)
Several ambassadors voiced their support for a new draft proposed by the “E-10” group of 10 non-permanent Council members, which calls for an immediate ceasefire
The vetoed draft would have made imperative an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza, with an “urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance” to all civilians and lifting “all barriers” to delivering aid
Council members disagreed over elements of the draft, and some highlighted glaring exclusions despite having raised multiple concerns with the US during negotiations
Ambassadors largely supported swift action to bring food and lifesaving aid at scale into Gaza, where a UN-backed report on Monday raised alarms about famine as Israel continues to block and slow walk shipments into the besieged enclave
Some Council members called for pursuing the two-State solution to the ongoing conflict
Israel’s ambassador was invited to speak, calling the draft’s failure to pass and condemn Hamas “a stain that will never be forgotten”

Speaking after the vote, United States Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said “Russia and China still could not bring itself to condemn Hamas’ terrorist attack on October 7th. Can we just pause on that for a moment? Russia and China refuse to condemn Hamas for burning people alive, for gunning down innocent civilians at a concert, for raping women and girls, for taking hundreds of people hostage. This was the deadliest single attack on Jews since the Holocaust.”
She also said, “If an alternative resolution comes up for a vote and does not support the diplomacy happening on the ground, we may once again find this Council deadlocked. I truly hope that that does not come about.”
For her part, Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stated, “Through this resolution the Security Council would have rightly and for the first time, unequivocally condemned Hamas terrorist attacks. We're disappointed that the council was not able to send this important message.”
Algerian Ambassador Amar Bendjama said, “Alarmingly, this text avoided mentioning the responsibility of the Israeli occupying power. these individuals were not lost through acts of self-harm, they killed. Their perpetrators must be held accountable.”
Chinese Ambassador, Zhang Jun, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, explained, “An immediate ceasefire is a fundamental prerequisite for saving lives, expanding humanitarian access and preventing greater conflicts. The US draft, on the contrary, set up preconditions for a ceasefire, which is no different from giving a green light to continued killings. Which is unacceptable.”
Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, said to the council members that voted in favor of today’s draft resolution, “They told you that you should not be worried because the Russian Federation would veto this in any way, but you would not go against the US text. That is it. That's the whole scenario. So don't try to hypocritically tell us that you are now disappointed that Russia and China vetoed the resolution. Once again, today you have covered yourselves with disgrace voting for text which yourselves do not support and did support.”
Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan said, “The American resolution should it have passed would have marked a moment of morality for the UN, a place where good is evil and justice is injustice. It would have been the very first time that this council or any UN body condemned Hamas and their brutal massacre. Yet sadly, for purely political reasons, this resolution did not pass, and terrorists can continue benefiting from this council whitewashing their crime.”

Does the US think the world is blind! We see what’s going on and who is the real trouble and problem. What a shame.
A coward is one who speaks on behalf of his people out of fear of them
A coward is someone who uses his great strength to protect himself but is unable to protect himself
The criminal who brutally kills children and has no mercy on defenseless people
A tyrant is someone who wants his position with full force at the expense of the lives of others
Yeah, they do.
Wake up.
The world knows who's the problem on the planet now.
Shame on Russia and China for vetoing a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Yes they are (^_^)
i mean , there is no other explanation for this situation, yes ?
its getting dark. NVM
United States of Israel
I still dont understand how they decide the matter relating to Jew and Arab without the Arab speaking
I guess the 10 out out 12 countries that voted for it are Israel lovers too?
@MultiYlin the arab aren't speaking? 20% of the Israeli Sanate is Israeli arabs, the Palestinians through the UN speak in daily briefings, committees, special meetings ad nauseam. You have arab representatives from all over the middle east and North Africa also involved. But probably you mean the security council... where is Israel in it? You say Jews... Jews are not a country or a set if interests. It's a religion. Jews can be for and against Israel, and they are. So please spare us.
@@alexmost166 You know perfectly well what he meant, spare us the semantic gymnastics.
@@ner0p sorry no I don't understand. Did he say Jews but meant Israel? That's ignorant, and its evident most of the world is making the same connection and yet, you can't say they are anti-semetic. To the point, you had an arab representatives speak for Palestine here, part of a coalition of nations that do daily discussions in the UN abour the war, what's the problem? Also speaking of semantics. If you think there's a genocide going on, you are willing to not stop it because of semantics? Isn't there enough time to discuss who did what AFTER we stop the war? Give me a break.
She said “release our hostages” this is truly United state of Israel
If you are against the release of the civilian hostages you are pro war. And you are most definitely not serving the people of Gaza.
Nobody is saying anything about releasing detained Palestinians, restoring their lands

thank you russia for vetoing this genocide enabling/apologist resolution
A resolution for a ceasefire is a "genocide enabling resolution"?

Where can I read the draft?
USA SHAME ON YOU
Shame on you too and more 😂😂 Viva Israel and Blave IDF ❤❤
and you too. Free palestine
Why? Are you against the ceasefire?
this is not a ceasefire, is just a cover up for their bigger plan@@alexmost166
@@alexmost166 Watch the video first, comment later. This is no sustainable ceasefire, it's just fantasy to rehabilitate the image of the US and Israel in the eyes of the populace.
"US-proposed Draft to End War in Gaza" ??? I would have expected a little bit of honesty from UN CZcams chanel. It was clearly a free pass for Israel to pursue the killing while the Security Council would acknowledge being "concerned"
Yes, this is double standards at its peak and coming from none other than the official UN channel.
Thank Guyana ❤
How ironic US is calling Russia for its hypocrisy 😂
Guyana position are a clear reflection of current position on the ground in GAZA. This council and America resolution at no time blames Netanyahu nor isreal of lives lost, children, women, elderly, reporters, health workers, professionals, police officers, shutting of electricity, water, and supplies of food. Yet America congress continues to supply bombs, finances and international coverage ( protection for Netanyahu war crimes). Cease fire was veto by American ambassador times over.
Wow is this crazy! There should be no cease-fire under this circumstance. The world is not blind anymore. Thank you, China and Russia for the veto!
If this was the result of negotiations and multiple rounds of edits, what kind of a joke did the US originally propose?
Sooo True!
Why is israel filmed at a different angle, wo that you cant see the reps behind him? Is this a direct request from israel because i have been catching them looking shocked and pulling wild facial expressiona for the last five months
Not Siara Leonne voting in favor of this draft resolution, really some African countries are forever beholden to the settlers and colonisers.
I would like to thanks Russia and China for vetoing the US draft. Thanks to Russia for showing the real faces of these countries attending the UN session. What is surprising is the number of lines the Israelian representative has on one sheet of paper (3 lines). He is changing the page every two or three sentences.
thanks for mentioning that I hadn't noticed that 😂😂😂 Israeli ambassador is a joke 🤣
There are eye conditions that cannot be adjusted by means of glasses..I am one of them. Only very big writing is the option ..taking the table distance into account.
It is always better to have consideration for others.. and this is also the least of the problem. Think what we are confronted with in these dark times.
@@cmarais-ks3kd I don't agree with you, he is just a damp person may be literate, you can see it not only when he is reading but when he is talking too. he is defending a genocide and trying to justify more then 15000 kids assassination.
Guyana....Respect!!! Thank you!
The issue with the US resolution is clearly stated by Guyana
Guyana’s Representative Was Brilliant Precise and Accurate
A sustained ceasefire? The resolution didn't sound like a sustain it sounded more like a pause. The resolution needs to say a permanent ceasefire. Why know mentioned of terrorist attacks by Israeli settlers in the west bank?
Check the facts before you write a response…
@@estherhezghian8770 Huh? What lies am I making?
Change the video title UN. US is not asking for a ceasefire.
Release all prisoners of war, including the ones held in israeli jails
She forgets to mention what Israel is comitting. She has not discussed the atrocities they are doing on the poor Palestinians including the ethnic cleansing, illigal settlements, hostages captured by the IDF, deaths of Palestinian children, women, medics, and journalists. You know clearly this did not begin on Oct 7th. Oct 7th was the day when the wool over the eyes of the world was peeled back
She doesn't see the Palestinians as fully human.
They take and took them still everyday and night in the occupied territories
By accepting cease fire it means you support rapiest
7th is when the war started, there was no "wool" the world knew what Palestinians had been doing for 75 yrs to the Israelis. Ask yourself why are there checkpoints and walls. Ask yourself why Egypt built an even bigger wall. Ask yourself why no neighbouring Arab countries will take them in. Idf has prisoners not hostages get your facts straight and stop regurtatating social media propaganda.
They vetoed all 3 Ceasefire and noe they saying they want Ceasefire... she, USA, is such a liar 🙄
Change the title of the video.
They won't change the title as they know people will not watch the full video to understand.
@@sammytsang2948 No, because it won't please their masters.
Good speech of Russian Federation
Yes, really !
Thank you Guyana, Russia, China and Algeria. For the other "disgrace".
Starving people is not an act of war. It is a crime.
Guyana representatives abstain and why they abstain is very clear
Viva Gayana
Great statement from Algéria. Thank you ambassador.
US is complicit in Israel's genocidal campaign against Palestinians, so to trust that the US is putting forth a good / fair resolution for Palestinians would be foolish.
Genocide? If this is genocide, then so was every war or battle in history.
I kindly ask you to please stop degrading the meaning of words that are intended to hold immense gravity.
@@Santirata Degrading the meaning of the word genocide? Are you kidding me? The US, Canada, and most of the EU have been blatantly using the word genocide left and right - genocide in Ukraine, genocide of the Uyghurs. If you go to Xinjiang and compare it to Gaza, there is no doubt Netanyahu's apartheid regime is committing genocide. How many corpses of innocent civilians will you find in Xinjiang? Zero. How many corpses of innocent civilians will you find in Gaza? Over thirty thousand dead, hundreds of thousands injured, and hundreds of thousands malnourished or in famine. Plus the blockade of electricity, gas, water, medical supplies via air, land, and sea. This blockade started way before the Oct 7th attack. The West is the one who needs to stop degrading the meaning of the word genocide. They use it only when it fits their interest. The US doesn't even call the annihilation of the Native Americans a genocide. If you can't see through this hypocrisy, you are blind.
@BigVic13 I'm not reading that giant block of nonsense but got the gist from skimming it. Still doesn't make what's happening in Gaza a genocide.
Babi Yar, where 33,711 women, children, and elderly were executed in 2 days, that was real genocide.
Again, stop degrading the meaning of words.
Guyana's Ambassador said it all, thank you Guyana members
Those that voted for the resolution didn't want to be responsible for it to fail, but they at least used the opportunity to mention the things that the US kept out of the draft.
@@KlausJLinke Fair enough.
Guyana❤
It doesn't start at October 7th, Israel atrocities before that date should be assessed by USA and UK before accusing Hamas for an action carried out of frustration
So,shame, you are the women but still supporting rapiest
@@angulileelectrical6368 Ignorance is your best attribute.
First of all, there is no excuse for terrorism, NEVER EVER!!!
Also I highly recommend you learn history and check the facts for your own sake.
@@estherhezghian8770 and for your own sake, what do you call continuous raid, detaining of thousands, ruining the lives of almost 2 million people, killing tens of thousands, fatally injuring more tens of thousands, all of these while literally starving the entire population

Me too. He should stand more firmly behind Israel. His baseless claim of "indiscriminate bombing" couldn't be further from the truth.

Guyana spoke well! Well done ✅
Looking at the comments, i am happy that many catched the "US hero" propaganda.
1:17 The Israeli Ambassador's font size must be huge.
😆😆😆 he is a real Joke
The ambassador of Guyana explained the issues with the US draft resolution the best. Shame on the US, and it's ambassador.
The Israeli Representative reflects the dark light of HitlersJoseph Gobbles addressing the reichstag .
Russia and China are well behaved not like USA
Aggressor playing victim
Wow Guyana!. The Best!!
Reform the United Nations 🇺🇳 for world 🌎 Peace Free people free Palestine 🇵🇸 save Gaza
I love how the Russian Representitive called out the US evil and the hypocrisy of everyone else who voted for it as they themselves said they don't fully support their draft.
Shame on the UN!!! Sad day for the entire humanity.
Bravo to Guyana...well spoken.
Our freedom fighters fought for independence. Resistance isn’t Terrorism.
25th March 1971 world saw the horror of genocide on our people of Bangladesh. As everyone in the world sees now in gaza,Palestine.
Those people also bleed red. Where is human rights now?
Free Palestine
Now!🇧🇩🇵🇸
US - Disgrace? what is that????
Find a dictionary, you know what one is?
Linda, which is perfectly of the cynical dehumanising diplomatic US Figure, she is well trained, to ignore thousands or million human beings suffering, when she tries to talk about something of humanity.
1:25:30 This one is shocking. Right after talking about "the only way is to eliminate Hamas's capabilities entirely"… Is Israeli representative suggesting/implying they are going to wipe out 71% of Palestinian in Gaza??? BLEW MY MIND
U.s think taking palestine land same as taking native indian land lol
What about the israelian terrorisme mister ambassador of France ? the war didn't start in octobre, it start long time a go.
Thank you ambassador from Guyana.
Peace is important for everyone
Algeria ....Respect to You !!!!
Thank you China, Russia and Algérie for your brave statement.
Most Zionists don't believe that God exists, but they do believe that he promised them Palestine."
Exactly 🤣 😂😂
You mean Syria? That's what that whole area was before the American Colony of 1890's. History is lost on many. This entire situation is a long plan and the global leaders are in on it. Hence they keep speaking of their interests. They all have colonization games going on about the world that never stopped to create citizenry that's fits they way they control I mean govern instead of creating a government that cares for any of the world's citizenry. Sounds like some movie but it is insanity and accurate. The world barons must understand laborers can all just stop laboring and nothing is more valuable than life.
War or genocide?
Whether Gaza, East Jerusalem or the West Bank:
Israel has never been about freeing the hostages, it has never been about Hamas; it has only ever been about expanding the occupied territories and the associated ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel has been pursuing this program since the NAKBA 1947-49 when 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes and 50,000 were killed. Since then, more than 50 massacres of the Palestinian population have taken place.
The intervention of all forces is needed to stop this injustice.
In the ICJ's statements, there was unanimity on the illegally occupied territories of Israel and a two-state solution.
It is imperative that Israel abides by international law, otherwise democracy and justice will be jeopardized worldwide.
ISRAEL is obliged to comply with INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Genocide
Read the dictionary
Y a US, just to let you know that history will remember that you supported the genocide committed by the Israelis against Palestinian children by supplying bombs.
That's a child council not a security council , shame on everyone there who speaks calmly while humans are being killed in GAZA.
The primary focus for the United States lies in advancing its strategic objectives. In this particular context, this entails the displacement of Gazans from their native territory and the establishment of US military installations across the Middle East to facilitate prospective territorial expansion. This endeavor transcends mere economic considerations, as it fundamentally revolves around the dynamics of power projection and control.
US, Britain, France wrote a Chapter 7 Resolution against Russia in Allepo Syria. Is it possible to write another Chapter 7 Resolution to kick Russia out of Ukraine?
Unlike the US Russia is in Syria at the invitation of Syria dealing with ISIS, Hamas and other US/Israel proxies.
What about kicking the US and Europe out of meddling in Ukraine and the rest of the world ? Assad,president of Syria invited Russia into Syria . Who ,in God's name ,asked the US to be in Syria . Also , Iraq wants US to exit Iraq , and the US is still there .Why ?
How about US, Britain, France out of Syria? Any hands?

What about the more than 10,000 hostages in Israeli prisons??? Some of them women, children and sick people??? !!!
Israeli hostages in Gazan tunnels are not equivalent to Palestinian militants in Israeli prisons.

well done Russia,China and Algeria,I love how Russia's representative sets the record straight without mincing words and fearlessly saying exactly how things are
the title is wrong, that resolution was not to end the war at all. Just an other carte blanche to Israel-US
US hypocrisy and mute rhetoric.

The international community can only go this far (if we're talking about peace diplomatic) or if they have no choice, waging war. But you guys HAVE SO MUCH power in your hands. Give pressure to your representative and demand a immediate and permanent ceasefire without listening to Israel demands.

The draft resolution S/2024/239 unfortunately cannot be accessed at this time on the UN document system.
It calls for fully Humanitarian Aid access to Gaza and to abide by resolutions S/RES/2417, S/RES/2712(2023) and S/RES/2720(2023) for Humanitarian Aid repeatedly and excessively.
It calls for the return of the hostages held by Hamas and condemnation of the Hamas actions on Oct 7th.
It calls for the implementation of the Two-State solution.
It calls for solutions to terrorism like preventing their funding resolution S/RES/2462(2019).
It calls for the rejection of any demographic or territorial change in Gaza.
Israel:
1:18:08 colleagues how can we explain to children around the world that the body
1:18:14 mandated to uphold Global Peace and security refuses to condemn terrorists
1:27:33 what the Palestinians need to receive so that they finally support
1:27:40 coexistence coexistence with Jews coexistence with Israel *That's how we*
1:27:46 *educate our kids!*
23:25 representative of Algeria, speaking on behalf of the Arab group.
Do they tell them to denigrate Hamas every time. How about the genocide that is taking place? Why can’t they draw all their attention and focus on the permanent ceasefire and giving the full independence to Palestine! That is what I want to hear not about 7th of October- these people are dead as they only focus on the past!
Genocide? If this is genocide, then so was every war or battle in history.
I kindly ask you to please stop degrading the meaning of words that are intended to hold immense gravity.

There needs to be a stated desire by Palestinians to live peacefully next to Israel.

Paramanent salutations please
Sustain cease fire is peace fund,,and peace also needs huge money,and money also just tools and the real sources is always spirit of future humanity❤❤
Hamas is indeed who acted stubborn in continuing to detain Israeli hosteges and perpetuated the suffering of Gaza civilians with the aim that Hamas' atrocities during the October 7 massacre are untouchable at this UN security meetings.
Wasn't it hypocritical attitudes to talk about 2-state solution while the civilians on both sides is threatened at a gunpoint?
Don't forget to asked the Palestinian authorities to provide the updates on the lives of the hostages while being held by Hamas since October 7.
