WASHINGTON — On Friday, the US Permanent Representative to
the United Nations, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, exercised the veto
power against a resolution proposed by Algeria, which calls for a halt to the
war in Gaza for humanitarian reasons. Ambassador Greenfield stated in a press
release that the new resolution regarding the crisis, put forth by Algeria,
"could jeopardize sensitive negotiations, hindering comprehensive and
ongoing diplomatic efforts" aimed at securing the release of prisoners and
ensuring an extended humanitarian ceasefire desperately needed by Palestinian
civilians and relief workers.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter on Saturday, the
US delegate emphasized that the US, along with Egypt and Qatar, is
diplomatically exerting sensitive efforts to secure the release of prisoners in
Gaza and ensure a prolonged humanitarian ceasefire crucially needed by
Palestinian civilians and relief workers, Khaberni reported.
She added, "The Security Council should refrain from
taking any action that undermines this effort."
Some members of the Security Council believe that
Resolutions 2712 and 2720 cannot be implemented without a cessation of
hostilities.
Guyana's Ambassador to the United Nations, Carolyn
Rodrigues-Birkett (current President of the Security Council), stated last
Thursday, "Security Council resolutions and interim measures of the
International Court of Justice cannot be fully implemented unless there is a
ceasefire in Gaza."
