On Friday, the US blocked a resolution at the UN Security Council calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, arguing this would be dangerous and unrealistic
I would hope so, it's literally the 2nd paragraph 🤣
Means that both are guaranteed to happen. But only one party is part of the UN and bound to the decision.
That's why it's the security council. They could actually enforce it. But it's a shame getting the hostages out in exchange for stopping the mass murder is not enough motivation.
It would be simple. Hamas could surrender and lay down their weapons. Release the hostages. But, no. They still fire rockets at Israel, they still fight house to house.
I think you are being ridiculous. If I understand your point, according to you the only way they could be included is if Hamas was a member of the UN. This is not a realistic bar.
The hostages were literally part of the agreement. They were part of the last one too, and many were released. Suggesting they weren't included here is borderline delusional
You make a resolution only binding one party for a cease-fire, while there is no contingency that hostages be released I would veto it too. If there was a contingency then we would see what has previously happened.
The blockade started in 2005. 3 months before Hamas is elected. Also "started collecting materials" what do you expect a government with a genocidal explicitly hostile neighbor to do?
How magnanimous of them to have the people leave who shouldn't of been there in the first place. Then proceed to screw over their own people they brought back after the fact.
