The United States vetoed an Arab-backed U.N. resolution Tuesday demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in the embattled Gaza Strip.
The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13-1 with the United Kingdom abstaining
It was the third U.S. veto of a Security Council resolution demanding a cease-fire in Gaza.
why would Israel want to annex Gaza? they’ve entirely destroyed most of its infrastructure, and it’d cost a massive amount to rebuild, and it’s not even really in their identity in the same way that “Judea and Samaria” aka the West Bank is
Isn’t that what Israel has been doing for decades? Bomb and kill Palestinians on their land. Colonizers move in and build their own homes.
Not Gaza, the West Bank. Gaza hasn’t been settled since 2005, just blockaded and stuff (which is still very bad)
They even forcefully removed their settlers out of Gaza, emptied thriving settlements as a gesture of good will. They were almost immediately thanked for it by bombs, rockets, shootings and other attacks while the Palestinians in Gaza razed productive greenhouses and tore up irrigation pipes as they took over these settlements. It was a slap in the face, shortsighted idiocy by the Palestinian leadership and, sadly, a taste of what was to come.
Land is land to blood and soil nationalists.
