Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's Deputy High Representative to the United Nations, has said that Moscow plans to convene another session of the Security Council to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The Russian official emphasized that: "As experience has shown, no one can do this except us." Last week, Russia drafted a resolution in the Security Council calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The draft was opposed by many Western countries. Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, said after the rejection of the draft that: "Today, the whole world was eagerly waiting for the Security Council to take measures to stop the bloodshed, but the representatives of the Western countries have trampled on that basic expectation ."

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the United Nations, claimed that the reason for not passing the draft was that it "did not condemn the movement of Hamas". On Sunday morning, the American delegation circulated a draft in the Security Council, which despite condemning the movement of Hamas, did not include any ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. In the draft, the United States recognized the brutal attacks of the Israeli occupation regime in the Gaza Strip as legitimate, and demanded the release of Israeli prisoners of war held by Hamas. Joe Biden and Netanyahu The United States, which continues to defend the Zionist regime of Israel even in important international forums, has proposed the inhumane draft while it has blocked the adoption of the draft resolution proposed by Russia and Brazil that forces the Zionist regime that kills children, to stop attacks against Gaza.
