US blocked in Council UN Security Council proposed the UAE resolution on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, RIA Novosti reports.
It is noted that 97 states co-sponsored the resolution, and 13 UN Security Council members spoke in support of the resolution. Great Britain abstained from voting.
The draft document demanded that the parties to the conflict in Gaza immediately cease hostilities and release all hostages, as well as ensure the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
In October, the United States imposed veto of a similar draft resolution proposed by Brazil. Earlier, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres demanded that the Security Council prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, and also called for a ceasefire.
