Veto by Russia and China: US ceasefire in Gaza failed: Russia and China have vetoed a US-backed resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
de.euronews.com/2024/03/22/us-resolution-zu-sofortigem-waffenstillstand-in-gaza-scheitert-an-russisch-chinesischem-ve
Veto by Russia and China: US ceasefire in Gaza failed
Quick Glance: Russia and China Veto US Cease-Fire Resolution
  • Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution on Friday calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid for over 2 million hungry Palestinians.

  • The resolution reflected a shift in U.S. stance, diverging from much of the world's push for an unconditional end to the fighting.

  • While the resolution would have been officially binding, it would not have stopped the fighting or released hostages, but it would have increased pressure on Israel as its closest ally aligns more with global calls for a cease-fire.

  • The Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.

Taiwan warns of 'enormous' Chinese bases near its S.China Sea holding
Quick Glance: Taiwan Raises Alarm Over 'Enormous' Chinese Bases Near Its S. China Sea Holding
  • Taiwan's foreign minister mentioned that China has established 'enormous' military bases on three islands surrounding Taiwan's main holding in the South China Sea, but Taipei is not seeking to further escalate tensions in the strategic waterway.

  • Some lawmakers from both the ruling and main opposition parties have urged President Tsai Ing-wen to visit Itu Aba to assert Taiwan's sovereignty and witness a newly renovated harbor capable of accommodating larger ships.

  • China has conducted extensive land reclamation on its South China Sea islands, constructing major air force and other military facilities, causing significant concern in Washington and the region.

  • Taiwan also controls the Pratas Islands in the northern part of the South China Sea, and both China's air force and navy frequently operate nearby to assert Beijing's territorial claims over Taiwan, which the Taipei government rejects.
