Speaking during the International
Security Council meeting,
Nebenzya statedthat each time the US
used the veto, it made the same hypocritical calls to “Just wait a little bit
longer to give time for allegedly effective diplomacy on the ground”.
Nebenzya emphasized the absurdity of this pretext, asserting
that Washington claims the Security Council impedes its plans and, therefore,
requested not to obstruct them. He added, "Washington's real goal is not
peace in the Middle East or protecting civilians, but rather ensuring its
geopolitical interests, which require protecting its closest ally in the Middle
East at any cost."
The document presented by
Algeria called for an immediate
cessation of war in Gaza, rejecting plans for the forced displacement of
Palestinian civilians and reaffirming commitment to the Palestinian issue based
on the principle of a two-state solution.
