Two draft resolutions on the Palestinian-Israeli situation are rejected in the UN Security Council.
The Security Council held a vote yesterday (25) regarding the two drafts presented by Russia and America. Although China voted in favor of the draft presented by Russia, it was rejected due to insufficient number of votes. The other draft presented by the United States was rejected due to the rejection by Russia and China, which are permanent members of the United Nations.
China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Mr. Zhang Jun, explained the reasons why China voted against the US draft. He pointed out that it does not address the ‘ceasefire’ that has received much attention in the world, and the draft is not conducive to solving the problem. Because of this, Mr. Zhang Jun also said that the draft of the United States did not meet the basic qualifications required for adoption.
