The UN Demand a ceasefire and Israel loses it’s mind.

With the Uniting for Peace Resolution triggered, the General Assembly voted for a ceasefire in Gaza & Israel's reaction was bizarre!
Right, so last night the United Nations General Assembly met and voted in favour of a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel was anything but happy about this. A two-thirds majority was required for the resolution to pass and they certainly got it, with 153 countries voting in favour of a ceasefire, 10 voted against it and 23 abstained, so they smashed it. Alas it is only advisory, it is not legally binding, it does heap more pressure on the US who are the ones with all the power to end this, yet who instead insist on supporting Israel in continuing with what they are doing, though that said, they’re clearly feeling the heat from the rest of the world right now with their statement following the vote placing the most distance between themselves and Israel that we’ve yet seen. That doesn’t equal a withdrawal of support, nor has it seen any contrition by Israel at all, as their UN representative Gilad Erdan went off on one.
Right, so I covered the possibility of Resolution 377 A the Uniting for Peace Resolution being triggered the other day, and I also noted that they could do this, avoiding the need for a unanimous vote from the UN Security Council, if they reopened the 10th emergency special session, the last time Resolution 377 A was triggered, back in 1997, which had been adjourned in 2006 and was therefore still a live session. Well this is exactly what happened as it turned out. Any member state could choose to reopen that case in light of what is happening now, since that session had been originally opened to discuss the Israeli occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, so it is all extremely relevant and related. Any member state could choose to do so at any time as well. That the UN had been sitting on this since 2006, does show how slowly they tend to move and how seriously they’ve taken an illegal occupation up until now though.
The session was reopened upon the joint request of Egypt and Mauritania following the triggering of Article 99 by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, which in and of itself, still advisory, but is an escalation of the seriousness of which he viewed the ongoing genocide we’re all still bearing witness to and meant the UN Security Council once more had to convene and try and pass a ceasefire, the Security Council being the body that can pass such a resolution and mean it was legally binding. Of course we know the US yet again used their veto to kill off the chance of a ceasefire. Therefore, Resolution 377 A came into focus, how it could be instigated, and it was Egypt and Mauritania that did that on the 11th December, and therefore the General Assembly met to debate the matter and vote on it, the following day, last night at time of writing.

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
