    From DD Geopolitics:

    “A hypocritical spectacle by Washington, that does not pressure Israel.” – Russian envoy to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, on why they vetoed the US’s ceasefire resolution.

    Nebenzya claimed the resolution was “increasingly politicized” and contained a “green light” for an “Israeli operation into Rafah”.

    Nowhere in the US’s resolution text was the word ‘ceasefire’ even mentioned. To which Nebenzya accused Washington of “deliberately misleading the international community”.

    Nebenzya accused anyone voting in favor of “covering themselves in disgrace”.

    From Aaron Maté:

    The US resolution was more cynical than I realized: not just pretending to call for a ceasefire in order to prolong Israel’s genocide, but asking the UN to co-sign the fake “sexual violence” fabrication that helps Israel justify the genocide.
