Russia, China veto US resolution on Gaza
- Russia and China veto a UN Security Council draft resolution on Gaza proposed by the United States.
- The US draft was “an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Rafah“, says the Russian envoy to the UN.
- In Tel Aviv, US Secretary of State Blinken says Israeli leaders risk losing support worldwide if they order the ground attack on Rafah.
- At least 32,070 Palestinians have been killed and 74,298 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attack stands at 1,139, with dozens taken captive.
