Martin Griffiths, the UN’s under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said Friday that the international community must come together to bring an end to Israel’s war in Gaza, which made the coastal enclave uninhabitable and has shown the “worst of humanity.”
Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, gave an extensive speech last week after an Israel drone strike killed a top Hamas official in Beirut, Lebanon, and said the attack will not “go unanswered or unpunished.”
Just as the United States vetoed a United Nations resolution on 8 December demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza that was backed by most other Security Council members, they are planning to veto South Africa’s genocide case filed in the International Court of Justice.
