Arab League condemns new US veto to UN resolution on Gaza

Cairo, Nov 22 (Prensa Latina) Arab League (AL) Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit on Friday condemned the United States for vetoing a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) draft resolution that called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Such a US stance is internationally isolated and morally condemnable, Aboul-Gheit said in a statement.

The AL official stated that the White House’s stance consolidates the international powerlessness in facing the most dangerous conflict in the Middle East and, in turn, allows the Israeli extreme right to advance its annexation and colonization plans.

He underscored that the decision is a green light to Israel to continue its bloody campaign against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, including hunger as a weapon of war.”

Aboul-Gheit also denounced the forced displacement of Palestinians within the besieged enclave and pointed out that the Benjamin Netanyahu government is considering a plan to clear northern Gaza.
