Haniyah thanks Russia, China for vetoing US resolution

TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (MNA) – Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, praised Russia and China for vetoing of US-drafted resolution in support of the Zionist occupying region at the UN Security Council.

The head of the political bureau of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh also praised and appreciated all member and non-member countries of the UN Security Council who demanded an immediate stop to the attacks and crimes against the people of Gaza.

Haniyeh asked the international community to force the Israeli regime to respect human rights and implement international and humanitarian laws and resolutions for the rights of the Palestinian people, especially the people of Gaza.

Russia and China prevented the passage of a US-drafted UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution that had said Israel, which has killed more than 6,500 people as part of its underway war on Gaza, has been acting in "self-defense."

The draft was put to vote on Wednesday. The United Arab Emirates also voted no, while 10 members voted in favor and Brazil and Mozambique abstained.

In this resolution, it is noted to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, but stopping the attacks and crimes of the Zionist regime against the people of Gaza is not mentioned.

Since the beginning of the operation, the Zionist army, which is not capable of confronting the resistance fighters, has continuously bombarded residential areas, hospitals, religious centers, and schools in Gaza.

In its latest statistics, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the increase in the number of martyrs of the Gaza war to 7,165 peoples of Wednesday. 

This ministry has also announced the number of injured in Gaza as 17,439. 219
