Die USA legen ihr Veto gegen eine UN-Resolution ein, die einen Waffenstillstand in Gaza fordert, weil es keinen Zusammenhang mit einer Geiselfreilassung gibt

What does a permanent ceasefire even mean? Do they demand peace?
This world is just so weird, I demand you to have a permanent ceasefire because the last 100 permanent ceasefires were very permanent.
It’s so encouraging to see how the UN cares about every person’s* right to live in peace.
* Unless said person is Israeli, then they can fuck off and rot in Hamas tunnels forever.
Also no link to reality.
There’s a link to Guterres though.

The UN isn’t even trying at this point.
It’s pathetic that the UN cannot do anything meaningful in over a year. You’d think there would be some real movement in a meaningful proposal by the UN knowing that Trump is going to come in and basically say “Lol watch us flatten all of Gaza, they’re very bad people”
I’m angry that the UK and France voted yes. They don’t give a shit about the hostages. They claim to be Israel’s allies but throw Israel under the bus all the time.
As if it was about the hostages. /s
Let’s be real hamas would reject it anyways, or accept ot then immediately fire rockets into israel
Makes sense, why would there be a ceasefire when the hostages are still there and so are terrorists?
The bitch terrorists must first release all the hostages as a show of good faith before any talk of a ceasefire.
An entity that cannot identify where the hostages taken into their territory are is not competent enough to ensure enforcement of any ceasefire.
An entity that can identify where the hostages that were taken are but refuses to return them is actively choosing to perpetuate the war.
Either way you go, return of hostages is necessary to the concept of a ceasefire.
.
And yes, obligatory aside to laugh at the woefully naive concept of *declaring* a “permanent ceasefire.” What’s described there is everlasting peace, and it’s not so easily achieved as some signed document at a table.
Duh
No hostages, no stopping with the rockets and missiles, no cease-fire. It’s pretty simple really.
One- cease fires are broken all the time and are effectively meaningless at this point
Two- im not convinced there are any remaining hostages that are alive
Three- Israel isnt going to cease fire until hamas is wiped out, so this doesnt seem like its going to stop israel regardless
I get the symbolic gestures of it all but in a practical sense its just for show and gloat or whatever
by now even the UN cant possibly take the UN seriously.
We’ve reached the limit on ceasefires with Hamas. Ceasefires don’t resolve conflicts, they prolong them.

As if it mattered even if it passed. The UN is a joke.
Every issue the United Nations fails to resolve adds credibility to its detractors and reduces the value as an international organization.
Never thought I’d see the day when apnews actually tell us the reason for why Israel or the US does something that they don’t like
Makes sense. How can there be a ceasefire as long as they still hold hostages?
A more honest headline for sure, I am used to them cutting off just after the word Gaza
That UN resolution requires trust on both parties to set aside those differences and do the right thing. Unfortunately based on history Hamas will not honor anything and that language has to be written in a way that forces their hand to play nice to lift Israel’s siege. Maybe the UNSC will finally get their act together and learn from this.
There will be no cease fire until there is surrender.
It’s that simple. Everything else is wallpaper.
Wouldn’t want one of the best costumers of the MIC to stop buying from us.
> The resolution that was put to a vote “demands an immediate, unconditional and permanent cease-fire to be respected by all parties, and further **reiterates its demand for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.**”
> [Guyana’s U.N. Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues Birkett] stressed the resolution’s demand for immediate access for humanitarian aid deliveries throughout Gaza, and the Security Council’s primary responsibility to uphold international peace and security and its demands for an immediate cease-fire, **and for the release of hostages.**
In what sense would this be “an unconditional cease-fire that failed to release the hostages,” U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood? How, Mr. or Ms. AP headline writer, does a call for a ceasefire that includes the release of hostages contain “no link to a hostage release”?
Did these people watch a performance the 1938 British play *Gas Light* before deploying this veto/writing this article? Or perhaps it’s 1940 and/or 1944 film adaptations?
Just release the hostages and bring the war to an end…
