Russia at UNSC after US veto of Gaza resolution : US is giving Israel ‘a license to kill’

NEW York: After the US vetoed the Algerian-proposed draft resolution on Gaza, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said today addressing the UN Security Council that Washington continues to provide Israel with 'a license to kill'. He said: 'Algeria organized discussions in good faith to produce its draft resolution, but the US in effect issued an ultimatum, asserting that the draft was dangerous as it would obstruct ongoing talks. 'Indeed, Washington continues to insist the Council not interfere in the US plans, he said. The US has vetoed similar draft resolutions in the past, he added. 'We call on the Council membership to counter the lawlessness of Washington,' he said. 'Public opinion will no longer forgive the Security Council for inaction.'
