| [IsraelTimes] Security Council meeting ends with no action, Paleostinians blame US for blocking motion to condemn Israel Israel’s ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sounded a rocket warning siren ahead of the UN Security Council debate on Gazoo, which ended with no agreement on how to address the crisis. "Every time Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", fires a rocket, children at school, adults at work, families across Israel hear this," he said, before playing a recording of the siren. Danon said Security Council members that want to blame Israel for the latest fighting with the Hamas terror group in Gazoo are "morally bankrupt" and rejected those who call for restraint by both sides. Danon told news hounds at UN headquarters in New York that "there is no such thing as both sides." "There is Hamas that attacks and fires over 460 missiles at civilians and there is Israel that protects its people." Danon said ahead of closed Security Council consultations late Tuesday that the council must condemn only Hamas "for its aggressive assault on civilians." Asked about an undercover Israeli military operation that sparked the Hamas attacks and Israeli bombing of Gazoo, Danon said: "We take action to protect our people and we will continue to do that." The meeting ended with no agreement on a path forward, with the Paleostinian blaming the US for blocking any condemnation of Israel. Kuwait, which represents Arab countries at the council, and Bolivia requested the meeting following the worst flareup in Gazoo since the 2014 war between Hamas and Israel. Addressing news hounds after the 50-minute meeting, Paleostinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour said the council was "paralyzed" and had "failed to shoulder its responsibility" to take action to end the violence. "There is one country that is not allowing discussion at the council," Mansour told news hounds, in a reference to the United States, which has steadfastly supported Israel under US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... There was no statement from the council on the crisis. Such statements are agreed by consensus by all 15 council members.
