Algeria rejected the US draft resolution on Gaza on Friday, noting that it “did not carry a clear message of peace” and allowed more bloodshed for Palestinian civilians.
This was confirmed by Algeria’s representative to the Security Council, Ambassador Ammar Ben Jamma, after the US draft resolution was dropped following the use of veto power by Russia and China.
In his address to the Security Council, Ben Jammeh said that “the text submitted to the vote today (Friday) did not carry a clear message of peace, allowed the killing of more Palestinian civilians, and did not provide the necessary guarantees to prevent further escalation of violence.”
Ben Jammeh added that the draft submitted by Washington “involves a license to continue the bloodshed.”
The draft resolution did not explicitly demand or call on Israel for a ceasefire in Gaza, instead stating that there was “an immediate ceasefire” to protect civilians on all sides and allow the delivery of essential humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“To this end, ongoing international diplomatic efforts to release all remaining hostages (Israeli prisoners),” which “secure this ceasefire,” the draft resolution reads, referring to the ongoing talks in Doha mediated by the United States, Qatar and Egypt for a ceasefire and prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel.
The draft resolution was supported by 11 of the council’s 15 members, while three – China, Russia, and Algeria – rejected it, and Guyana abstained.
