US vetoes UN Security Council action on Israel, Gaza
The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants to allow humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip.
Oh no... Israel barely escaped from strongly worded condemnation.
41Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was disappointed the draft resolution made no mention of Israel's rights of self defense and she blamed Hamas for the Gaza humanitarian crisis.
While I can agree with that first part, there is no way you can blame Hamas for the current humanitarian crisis. They are not the ones blockading Gaza and destroying all of the infrastructure.
29It’s what bad guys in movies say when they hurt or kill someone because the protagonist didn’t do what they wanted. “This is your fault” “This blood is on your hands” “You made me do this”

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The vote on the Brazilian-drafted text was twice delayed in the past couple of days as the United States tries to broker aid access to Gaza.
Ambassador Zhang Jun accused the United States of leading council members to believe that the resolution could be adopted after it did not comment or express opposition during negotiations.
Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was disappointed the draft resolution made no mention of Israel's rights of self defense and she blamed Hamas for the Gaza humanitarian crisis.
The draft resolution also urged Israel - without naming it - to rescind its order for civilians and U.N. staff in Gaza to move to the south of the Palestinian enclave and condemns "the terrorist attacks by Hamas."
It has vowed to annihilate Hamas after the Islamist militant group killed 1,400 people and seized hostages in an Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The draft U.N. resolution condemned all violence and hostilities against civilians and all acts of terrorism and called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
The original article contains 518 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
