Nebenzya wants the US to explain why they are against a ceasefire

Nebenzya: I want to ask the US representative a question - explain why you are against a ceasefire? Does this mean that the United States, as a permanent member of the Security Council, supports the doctrine of “total retaliation“ in Gaza? Where is your sympathy for civilians, which you so eloquently express at every meeting of the Council on Ukraine? And this is despite the fact that the lives of civilians in Ukraine are nowhere near as threatened as the Palestinians in Gaza. Or do you think only about those on the European continent, and no one in Washington cares about Palestinian lives? I would like to address the same questions to the rest of the Western delegations in the Council, which shamefully abstained on all the draft resolutions that we introduced that would have called for a ceasefire. Colleagues, your “double standards“ are more than obvious.
