Following the United Nations Security Council vote, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement reflecting a profound change in US policy toward the war in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stressed that the United States has moved away from its previous consistent position in the Security Council, which previously linked a ceasefire to the release of hostages. While China and *Russia vetoed the previous resolution for supporting a ceasefire without conditions for the hostages’ release, this time they supported the new resolution along with Algeria and other countries.
The lack of a US veto on the new text of the resolution caused concern in Netanyahu’s office. The move by the American delegation is seen as a departure from principle, which Israeli officials say could undermine efforts to free the hostages and increase Hamas’s hopes of achieving a ceasefire without releasing the hostages.
Earlier, Prime Minister Netanyahu made it clear that if the US abandoned its core position, he would not allow an Israeli delegation to be sent to the US. The office confirmed that given the change in the American position, he decided that the delegation would not go to Washington.
Earlier, Kursor reported that the United States did not veto the resolution calling for a ceasefire. The United States did not use its veto power and did not interfere with the adoption of this resolution.
