UN fails test to sympathize with Gaza

 

America blocked Security Council agreement over a statement that would press Zionist regime to lift lockdown of Strip.

 

A third day of discussions at the UN Security Council failed to produce a statement that would press for an end to the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.

 

Experts of the 15-member body met behind closed doors overnight Friday to amend a draft statement submitted by the Arab League that calls on Zionist regime to end its siege of Gaza and ensure unhindered access for humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people.

 

Only one of the 15 council members - the United States - opposes the Arab draft.
