On Monday, the US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, urged the divided UN security council to come together, saying “the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is growing more dire by the day”.After the rejection of four previous resolutions in the 15-member security council – one vetoed by the US, one vetoed by Russia and China, and two for failing to get the minimum nine yes votes – Arab nations last Friday went to the UN general assembly where there are no vetoes.
The security council has since been trying to negotiate a resolution that will not be rejected. While its resolutions are legally binding, assembly resolutions are not, though they are an important measure of world opinion. “Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen,” Netanyahu said in televised remarks.Netanyahu said the army’s advance through Gaza opened opportunities to free hostages, which Hamas would do only under pressure.
