Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas said – ‘America is responsible for the bloodshed in Gaza’

Amidst the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, Palestine State President Mahmoud Abbas has blamed America for the bloodshed in Gaza. He has described America’s veto on the UN Security Council resolution demanding a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as a war crime against the Palestinians.

In a statement issued by the Palestinian Presidential Office, Mahmoud Abbas described the US stance as aggressive and immoral, a gross violation of all humanitarian principles and values, and held the US responsible for the bloodshed of Palestinian children, women and elderly people in the Gaza Strip. . It is noteworthy that the proposal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has been rejected in the United Nations Security Council. In fact, America on Friday used its veto power against this UNSC resolution.

International rights groups criticized America

World leaders, international rights groups and UN officials have previously criticized the US for vetoing a UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and failing to stop the war, which has killed more than 17,400 since October 7. About 1,100 people have been killed in Palestine and Israel.

Armistice proposal could not be passed

Let us tell you that after the United States vetoed the resolution and Britain was absent, the resolution could not be passed in the United Nations Security Council on Friday. The remaining 13 of the 15 current members of the UNSC voted in favor of the resolution put forward by the United Arab Emirates.

Israel presented its stand

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said the veto was outrageous and another blank check to destroy and displace the occupied state. Hamas strongly condemned the US veto, saying it considered Washington’s move “immoral and inhumane”. Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan did not address the UNSC after the vote, but said in a statement, “A ceasefire will only be possible with the return of all hostages and the destruction of Hamas.”
