US' rejection of a UN Security Council resolution that would have called for a humanitarian pause to provide millions of people in the Gaza Strip with life-saving relief has come under fire. Analysts said that the US, by showing one-sided support for Israel, has failed to defuse the tense situation and has taken a stance in opposition to the rest of the world by destroying the international efforts that're trying to bring a truce to the conflict in the Middle East.
Twelve members voted in support of the Brazilian-drafted resolution on Wednesday and the US was the sole Council member to vote against it. The US is "on the ground doing the hard work of diplomacy," according to the US ambassador to the UN, who stated this after the vote, media reported.
The US' veto to the resolution has been criticized. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a press conference on Thursday that China is deeply disappointed with the US' obstruction of the Security Council's adoption of the draft resolution on the Palestinian question.
