U.S. Veto Blocks UN Security Council Resolution to Stop Genocide in Gaza
New York – SABA:
The United Nations Security Council failed to pass a resolution on Wednesday evening calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after the United States used its veto power to block the measure.
The draft resolution, submitted by several member states including Algeria, Slovenia, and Denmark, called for an immediate halt to hostilities in Gaza.
The U.S. veto demonstrated Washington's ongoing support for the Israeli occupation, which continues to commit acts of genocide and daily massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Fourteen out of the fifteen Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution. Only the United States voted against, using its veto to prevent its adoption.
With continued American and European backing, the Israeli military has, since October 7, 2023, carried out a campaign in Gaza that has resulted in the martyrdom of 54,607 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and the injury of 125,341 others. These figures remain incomplete, as thousands of victims are still trapped under rubble and in streets unreachable by rescue and medical crews.

Jihad says aggression on southern suburb of Beirut blatant assault with blatant American cover
Gaza – Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine has condemned the Israeli aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut on the eve of Eid al-Adha. In a press statement, Jihad said "The treacherous Zionist aggression that targeted residential areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut and areas in southern Lebanon, resulting in widespread destruction, terrorizing innocent civilians, and forcing thousands of families to flee their homes on the eve of Eid al-Adha, constitutes a violation of the ceasefire, which the enemy has never observed, with blatant American cover and complicity." It considered this attack "a blatant provocation and confirmation of premeditated aggressive intentions aimed at dragging Lebanon into a dangerous escalation through which the enemy seeks to expand and consolidate its occupation." The movement said, "While we pray to God to protect Lebanon and its people from all harm, we affirm the depth of the fraternal relations that unite the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples in the face of these attacks."
