Russia’s ambassador, Vasily Nebenzia, has said that the United States is doing nothing to rein in Israel, mocked Washington for speaking of a ceasefire after “Gaza has been virtually wiped off the face of the Earth” and assailed the country’s resolution on a stop to the fighting in Gaza as a “hypocritical spectacle”, AFP reports.
“The American product is exceedingly politicised, with the sole purpose being to play to voters and throw them a bone in the form of some kind of a mention of a ceasefire in Gaza,” he said.
The resolution will “ensure the impunity of Israel, whose crimes are not even assessed in the draft.”
