Resolution of UN Security Council on Palestine will be brought to vote today

Baku. 1 June. REPORT.AZ/ The approval of draft resolution on protection of civil Palestinians in the UN Security Council  is expected today.

The discussions concerning this document have been conducting for two weeks in the Security Council. The draft document had to be adopted on May 31, but the approval process was postponed and transferred to June 1.

The expression of “Encircling of Gazza by Israel” was included in the initial version of the draft. After some discussions the phrase “encircling” was replaced with the words “movement and entrance restriction”.

The United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley stated that they would impose a veto on the above-mentioned draft document by spreading a written statement. She emphasized the immoral traits of that document: “The draft is an irreciprocal approach that enures to disruption of peaceful efforts among Israelite people and Palestinians. Notwithstanding the HAMAS bears responsibility for murderous act, it wasn’t dealt with in the draft”.
