BRUSSELS: French President Emmanuel Macron vowed on Friday to keep pressing for a Gaza ceasefire at the UN Security Council, moments after China and Russia vetoed a US-backed draft resolution.
“The Security Council must call for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian access,” Macron told reporters in Brussels, promising to resume work on an alternative French resolution “along with our US, European and Arab partners.”
The United States, Israel’s main ally, which has vetoed previous ceasefire calls, had put forward its own resolution.
