Israeli media report that Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan informed his US counterpart Linda Thomas-Greenfield that the occupation state opposes the Security Council resolution, advanced by the US, which expresses support for Biden's ceasefire proposal.
Israel objected an updated version of the resolution refers to the exchange deal as one that will bring about a “ceasefire,” as opposed to the original version that referred to a “cessation of hostilities, which Israel reads as less permanent in nature.
Israel also opposed a new clause in the draft that “rejects any attempt at demographic or territorial change in the Gaza Strip, including actions that reduce the territory of Gaza, such as through the permanent establishment officially or unofficially of so-called buffer zones.”
According to a spokesperson for the international #NGO#Oxfam, "It is a disgrace that a ceasefire is still not in place and that [International Humanitarian Law] is broken by Israel time and again with full impunity."
The United States stands as a partner in genocide with Israel by arming Israel with munitions and missiles that have killed tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians in the Strip. The latest massacre was at a #UN school where displaced Palestinians sheltered, killing at least 40, including children and women.

Inside the Base Where #Israel Has Detained Thousands of Gazans
Since Israel invaded #Gaza, the #SdeTeiman military base has filled with blindfolded, handcuffed detainees, held without charge or legal representation.
⭕ The Israeli occupation army killed 40 displaced people in the Nusseirat massacre, including 14 children and 9 women, and injured 74 others, including 23 children and 18 women.
⭕ We have documented the Israeli occupation army’s bombing of dozens of peaceful civilian displaced people in the mentioned school with at least three missiles from fighter jets.
⭕ The displacement center targeted by the occupation last night is the 149th such center bombed with missiles or tank shells.
⭕ The Israeli occupation has repeatedly committed these massacres brutally despite knowing that tens of thousands are present there.
⭕ We hold the Israeli occupation and the U.S. administration fully responsible for these crimes against humanity and international law.
"I knew that as long as I stayed, I'd be contributing to this campaign that had already demonstrated basically it was going to be indiscriminately killing civilians..."
