Palestinian movement Hamas on Friday condemned the US veto in the UN Security Council against a proposed resolution on Palestine’s full membership in the UN, calling on the world community to support the Palestinians in their right to self-determination.
the UN Security Council convened to discuss and vote on the proposed resolution on Palestine’s full membership in the UN. The United States, which is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, cast a veto against adopting the resolution. The United Kingdom and Switzerland abstained, while all other members of the UN Security Council supported the resolution. “This [the US veto against the resolution] confirms their position against our Palestinian people, its right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, as well as their full support for the fascist occupation entity in its deprivation of the rights of our Palestinian people and attempts to dismantle the Palestinian cause,” the movement said in a statement.
