UN Security Council members denounced the Israeli military’s recent attack on a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza that killed at least 100 Palestinians, while Russia and China held the US accountable for the incident due to weapons support, Anadolu reports.

“When pushing for Security Council Resolution 2735, the US claimed that Israel had accepted a ceasefire agreement, but the reality is quite the opposite,” Fu Cong, Permanent Representative of China to the UN, told the UNSC during an emergency session on Palestine that was requested by Algeria.

The Chinese envoy noted that the US is the “largest supplier of weapons” to Israel and has enough influence over the country.

The deputy permanent representative of the UK to the UN, James Kariuki, said they are “appalled by the Israeli military strike on Al-Tabeen School, where Palestinian civilians were sheltering”.

Russian envoy Dmitry Polyanskiy told the UNSC that his country was “extremely shaken” by the attack on the school. “Expecting our Western, primarily American, colleagues in cahoots with Israel to express any compassion to Palestinians is pointless,” he said.
