(ZEROHEDGE) – There was an overnight push among Arab nations to get the UN Security Council (UNSC) to pass a motion blaming Israeli forces for Thursday’s aid convoy massacre incident, which left a reported over 100 Palestinian civilians dead.
Algeria, the Arab representative at the UNSC as a non-permanent member, brought forward a statement expressing “deep concern” over the incident and asserted the mass casualty event was “due to opening fire by Israel forces.”
The lone veto which blocked it was from the United States, in a UNSC vote that was 14 to 1. The US last month was also the lone veto in the body calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
