Jordan disappointed at Security Council's failure to adopt Gaza ceasefire resolution

The Security Council's inability for the third time to issue a resolution to stop the escalating war in Gaza reflects the international failure to halt the humanitarian catastrophe brought by the aggressive war that Israel insists on perpetuating, said spokesperson of the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Sufian Qudah.

AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan on Tuesday expressed regret and disappointment at the failure of the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after the U.S. vetoed the draft resolution submitted by Algeria.

The Security Council's inability for the third time to issue a resolution to stop the escalating war in Gaza reflects the international failure to halt the humanitarian catastrophe brought by the aggressive war that Israel insists on perpetuating, said spokesperson of the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Sufian Qudah.

In a statement, he urged the international community, especially the Security Council, to fulfill its responsibilities and issue a resolution to stop the escalating war in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of over 29,000 people, mostly women and children.

He also stressed the importance of applying the rules of international law without favoritism or discrimination. - XINHUA
