Russia and China veto US resolution on Gaza over failure to explicitly demand ceasefire : Peoples Dispatch
peoplesdispatch.org
As Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Rafah, the US-authored resolution presented to the UN Security Council merely noted an “imperative” for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Algeria, Russia, and China rejected the resolution, stating that it had failed to deliver on the core demand for a ceasefire.

    Zhang further stated that an immediate ceasefire was a “fundamental prerequisite” for “saving lives, expanding humanitarian access and preventing greater conflicts. The US draft on the contrary sets up preconditions for a ceasefire which is no different from giving a green light to continued killings which is unacceptable.”

      Joe is infuriating with these PR moves, it's frustrating that they work so well on people who only digest headlines.
