Message from the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on X Despite overwhelming global support for, and 14 UNSC members' backing of Gaza ceasefire, the outgoing Democratic U.S. administration vetoed the draft resolution, revealing its full contempt for innocent lives & regional peace and adding to its 13 months long complicity in Israel's genocide. This disgraceful veto not only marks another failure of UNSC to uphold its Charter based mandate but also serves as a U.S granted license for occupying regime to continue its carnage in Gaza and Lebanon with impunity. This is in stark violation of established IHL principle "respect and ensure respect" as well as the Genocide Convention and entails United States international responsibility for complicity in atrocity crimes.
