Nournews: By exploiting its veto power in the Security Council, the U.S. once again proved that it is neither committed to human rights principles nor genuinely concerned with global peace. Blocking the draft resolution for a Gaza ceasefire was, in effect, a prize awarded to the Zionist regime to keep carrying out its crimes against defenseless civilians. This action legitimizes genocide and sends a clear message to the world: as long as U.S. and Israeli interests demand it, even the blood of thousands of Palestinian women and children will hold no value.
This approach reveals the structural collusion between Washington and Tel Aviv. Backed by unconditional U.S. support, the Zionist regime brazenly violates international law and engages in systematic killing.
Netanyahu and the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe
Netanyahu himself plays a central role in these crimes. Not only has he turned war into a tool for his political survival, but with America’s green light, he has escalated the destruction and bloodshed in Gaza to unprecedented levels. Today, images of wounded children, bombed hospitals, and devastated refugee camps stand as living evidence of atrocities carried out under Washington’s direct support.
In reality, the U.S. veto amounts to direct backing for Netanyahu’s political project. This is not about Israel’s security, but about maintaining an unjust order in the region—at the expense of the people of Gaza and the broader Middle East.
Destabilization as Washington’s longstanding strategy
The latest veto made clear that Washington does not seek stability in the Middle East; rather, permanent instability and crisis form its core strategy. The continuation of war in Gaza deepens political and security divisions across the Arab and Islamic world. This policy both secures the profits of U.S. arms industries and keeps regional states dependent on the Western security umbrella.
Crucially, Israel is not only a threat to Palestinians but also to America’s allies. Recent experiences show that the Zionist regime behaves opportunistically and expansionistically even in dealing with partners such as Qatar or Turkey. In this equation, no ally is safe—Israel sacrifices everything for its own survival.
Global consequences of the U.S. veto
This veto carries multiple strategic consequences for the United States. First, it discredits Washington’s human rights rhetoric on the global stage; no country can take its claims of defending human rights seriously anymore. Second, it fuels anger among Muslim nations and global public opinion against the U.S. and Israel, thereby strengthening the resistance. Third, it delegitimizes the Security Council and deepens rifts within the international order, since the veto reduces justice to a hostage of one power’s political interests.
Ultimately, through this action, the U.S. not only rewarded Israel but also became directly responsible for the continuation of killings, destruction, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Such an approach sets a dangerous future for both Washington and Tel Aviv, paving the way for the gradual erosion of America’s credibility and influence in the region.
