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.
The United Nations has officially reported over 12,300 civilian deaths and more than 27,800 injuries in Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February 2022. The latest data reveals a sharp increase in casualties, with long-range Russian weapons and aerial bombings causing the majority of the deaths in 2024. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict as Russia intensifies its attacks. The UN also reported over 2,100 civilians killed or injured in just the past two months, alongside the displacement of tens of thousands from front-line areas.

Shocking revelations from Gaza’s “Kill Zone” expose the tragic deaths of hundreds of Palestinians, including children, as the ongoing conflict escalates.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

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.

In a bold move amid escalating tensions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited a strategic peak in the newly seized Syrian territory. Defying strong warnings from Iran, Netanyahu declared that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will remain in the area until an arrangement ensuring Israel’s security is reached.
Joined by key military officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi, Netanyahu toured Mount Hermon, a crucial location for monitoring Hezbollah activities in Lebanon. The visit marks a significant step in Israel’s military operations in Syria, with the Golan Heights now playing a central role in securing Israel’s borders

In a provocative and chilling statement, Iran has called for the execution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv. The Iranian government has urged its Arab allies to take action in support of this call, sending shockwaves through Israel and further stoking fears of regional instability. The statement follows a series of heightened exchanges between Israel and Iran, with both nations engaged in a bitter conflict, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza. Tehran has also criticized international bodies, accusing them of failing to adequately address Israel’s actions and calling for greater cooperation among pro-Palestinian countries to seek justice. With the backdrop of mounting casualties and a looming humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Iran’s call for Netanyahu’s death has added a new, dangerous dimension to the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict.
