China Condemns America’s Veto of Call for Israel-Gaza Ceasefire at UN
China Condemns America’s Veto , of Call for Israel-Gaza Ceasefire at UN.
On Feb.
20, the U.S. vetoed an Algerian resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza because it would allegedly "jeopardize" negotiations to end the war, BBC reports.
.
13 out of 15 U.N.
Security Council members supported Algeria's resolution.
Proceeding with a vote today was wishful and irresponsible, and so while we cannot support
a resolution that would put sensitive
negotiations in jeopardy, we look forward
to engaging on a text that we believe will
address so many of the concerns we all share, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador
to the U.N., via statement.
We just weren’t able to support a resolution
today that was going to put sensitive
negotiations in peril– and that’s what
we believe this resolution would do, John Kirby, National Security Council spokesman, via statement.
Instead, America has proposed a temporary ceasefire to ensure "the safety of and support for the civilians," President Biden said earlier this month.

China has condemned the U.S.'
Actions, saying the veto sends the "wrong message," BBC reports.
.
Zhang Jun, China's U.N.
Ambassador, called America's claims "totally untenable.".
Given the situation on the ground, the
continued passive avoidance of an immediate
ceasefire is nothing different from giving
a green light to the continued slaughter, Zhang Jun, China's U.N.
Ambassador, via statement.
The spillover of the conflict is destabilizing
the entire Middle East region, leading
to rising risk of a wider war, Zhang Jun, China's U.N.
Ambassador, via statement.
Only by extinguishing the flames of war
in Gaza can we prevent the fires of hell
from engulfing the entire region, Zhang Jun, China's U.N.
Ambassador, via statement.
On Feb.
20, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he was "committed to continuing the war until we achieve all of its goals.".
Over 29,000 people have been killed in Gaza as part of Israel's response to an attack by Hamas that left 1,200 dead on Oct.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has engaged in a flurry of diplomatic activity in the run-up to Donald Trump’s inauguration next Monday, which is expected to bring a departure from the outgoing US administration’s pledge to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes to defeat Russia.

Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Sanaa airport and key military sites have resulted in at least six deaths and 40 injuries. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at the airport during the attack. The Israeli military targeted Houthi-controlled infrastructure, and the situation has drawn international concern. Iran condemned the strikes, and the UN called for de-escalation. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been involved in attacks against Israel since 2023.

In a chilling propaganda display, Hamas handed released hostages bizarre “gift bags” featuring photos of their captivity, a commemorative Gaza photo, and gold-gilded “certificates of release.” The released hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, described the gesture as a “cynical game” aimed at psychological manipulation. Video footage shared by Hamas shows the hostages being escorted through Gaza City by a motorcade of armed, masked terrorists, with crowds mobbing the vehicles. Eventually handed over to the Red Cross, the hostages were transported to safety, marking the first phase of a cease-fire deal.

The Gaza ceasefire agreement has ignited a political crisis within Israel, as far-right ministers, led by Bezalel Smotrich, threaten to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. Smotrich criticized the ceasefire as a "surrender to Hamas" and demanded that Israel continue its military operations in Gaza to defeat Hamas. He warned of the government's collapse unless it resumes military actions and establishes control over Gaza. Smotrich's party, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's, has withdrawn from the coalition, heightening tensions. Despite the withdrawals, Netanyahu's government retains a narrow majority in the Knesset. The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties, and international bodies have issued warrants and rulings against Israeli leaders over actions in Gaza.

The White House has officially confirmed a policy shift, allowing Ukraine to strike targets within Russia using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine now has the green light to deploy these weapons for immediate defensive needs, particularly in areas like Russia's Kursk region. This move follows heightened speculation over the past week, during which Kyiv reportedly used ATACMS in strikes on Russia’s Bryansk region.
The U.S. and NATO allies have continuously supplied advanced weaponry to Ukraine since 2022 while asserting that this support does not make them direct participants in the conflict. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of severe repercussions, including nuclear escalation, if NATO’s involvement crosses certain thresholds. In September, Putin emphasized that Kyiv's use of long-range weapons could alter the nature of the war, effectively drawing NATO into direct confrontation.

Israeli forces fired bullets and tear gas at Palestinian families gathered near Ofer Prison, awaiting the release of prisoners under a ceasefire deal with Hamas. The attack injured seven people and came amid heightened security measures to suppress public gatherings. Families were warned against celebrating or displaying Palestinian flags, with threats of canceling releases. This incident follows Israeli PM Netanyahu's statement reserving the "right" to resume the war on Gaza, which has claimed nearly 47,000 Palestinian lives.

Hundreds rallied outside PM Netanyahu’s office, opposing a controversial hostages-for-ceasefire deal. Families of captives and IDF reservists condemned releasing terrorists, citing national security risks. The protesters demanded all hostages be freed through victory over Hamas, not compromise. Emotions ran high as bereaved parents urged Israel to reject “selective” agreements and back the IDF to finish the mission.

The United States has voiced concern over the escalating violence in Syria, with National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett highlighting the Assad regime's refusal to engage in the political process outlined in UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2254. The U.S. has called for an immediate de-escalation, protection of civilians, and the start of a credible political process to resolve the civil war. The U.S. also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting American military personnel and preventing the resurgence of ISIS in Syria. In the midst of these tensions, anti-regime groups have made significant advances, raising the stakes in this long-running conflict.
