UN General Assembly chief Miguel d’Escoto has criticized the Security Council for its inability to curb Israel’s “monstrosity” in Gaza.D’escoto criticized the UN Security Council for not showing enough tenacity in ending Gazans suffering in the wake of the weeklong Israeli offensive in the coastal strip.
“I think it’s a monstrosity; there’s no other way to name it,” D’escoto said Saturday when asked about the Israeli incursion on Gaza.
The UN Security Council again failed to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip due to US intervention. The statement would have called on Israel to end its ground incursion into the region.
“Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunctionality of the Security Council,” D’escoto argued.
The two previous UN draft resolutions seeking an end to the violence in the region have been blocked by Washington. The United States has so far vetoed over 40 anti-Israel resolutions at the UN.
