Americans protest US “veto” against ceasefire in Gaza

NEW YORK, Dec. 12 (YPA) – New York City witnessed a protest in front of the US Mission to the United Nations building in protest against Washington’s use of its veto a few days ago against a draft resolution in the Security Council calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

“Anadolu” Agency said on Tuesday that the protesters, including American liberals and Orthodox Jews, gathered in front of the building of the United States Mission to the United Nations, raising Palestinian flags and banners with slogans such as “Stop the occupation,” “Ceasefire now,” and “Resist the occupation.”

The protesters also chanted slogans such as “Free Palestine,” “Stop the occupation completely,” “Give back the Palestinians their land,” “Yes to Judaism, no to Zionism,” and “Palestine will be liberated.”

On Friday, December 8, the United States vetoed a draft resolution in the UN Security Council calling for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip.

Since October 7, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which as of Monday evening left 18,205 dead and 49,645 wounded, most of them children and women, massive destruction of infrastructure, and an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” according to official Palestinian sources.
