U.S. Criticizes Algeria’s Proposed U.N. Resolution on Gaza Ceasefire
Algeria’s draft U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a Gaza ceasefire faces criticism from the U.S., stating it lacks balance by not holding Hamas accountable for the conflict.
The U.S. State Department referred to the resolution as imbalanced and omitted Hamas’ role in the conflict during a press briefing. The draft also emphasizes the release of hostages held by Hamas.
Algeria’s resolution requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by permanent council members to pass. The U.S. previously vetoed three resolutions on the conflict in Gaza.
The aim of Algeria’s proposal is to stop the violence in Rafah, emphasizing Israel’s immediate halt of military operations in the region, drawing attention to the International Court of Justice’s recent ruling.
The conflict in Gaza has led to significant casualties and displacement, with ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas.
Global leaders continue to monitor the situation, urging for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza.
