Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled plans to send a delegation to Washington on Monday after the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution calling for an “immediate cease-fire” in the Jewish state’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The resolution passed the Security Council 14-0, with the US abstaining, declining to exercise its veto power in the latest rebuke of Israel by the Biden administration.
In a statement, the Israeli PM’s office called the US abstention “a clear retreat from the consistent position of the US in the Security Council since the beginning of the war.”
The Post explained that the United Nations measure “calls for a pause in the fighting to last through the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends April 9, as well as the unconditional release of hostages taken in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in the Gaza Strip.”
Netanyahu had demanded the US veto the cease-fire resolution.
In a statement after the vote, Netanyahu’s office wrote:
“This withdrawal hurts both the war effort and the effort to release the hostages, because it gives Hamas hope that international pressure will allow them to accept a cease-fire without the release of our hostages.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu made it clear last night that if the US withdraws from its principled position, he will not send the Israeli delegation to the US. In light of the change in the American position, Prime Minister Netanyahu decided that the delegation would not go.”
The UN Security Council just passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and full humanitarian access.
The U.S. must push all parties to honor this ceasefire and rush massive humanitarian aid into Gaza to feed starving people.
