Palestine slams US veto to draft resolution on stopping aggression on Gaza
The Palestinian cabinet condemned the US veto in the United
Nations Security Council to a draft resolution on immediate intervention to
stop the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The preliminary estimates of the losses caused by the latest
Israeli assault hit about five million dollars for 1,255 housing units.
The losses will make the Palestinian government bear extra
burden after it started the yet-to-be finished reconstruction operation
following the Israeli aggression in 2014.
During its weekly meeting held in Ramallah on Thursday under
Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, the cabinet said that the US veto
contravened international law and the resolutions of the international
community.
The draft resolution represented an opportunity for the US
to support the values of human justice, but it chose to back occupation and all
what undermines peace efforts in the Middle East region and the world, the
cabinet also said.
