Gaza Ceasefire 'Probably Not by Monday', Biden Acknowledges

On that day, at least 104 Palestinians were killed and some 760 people were injured while waiting to receive food aid in the Al Nabulsi Roundabout area in Gaza City.

“The Bolivarian Alliance deeply regrets this new attack, which constitutes an unprecedented massacre and adds to the endless suffering to which the Palestinian people have been systematically subjected.

ALBA-TCP expresses its solidarity with the Palestinian people and demands the fulfillment of the United Nations resolutions for the establishment of the two States, in the pre-1967 borders,” it pointed out.

“The Alliance reiterates its call to the international community to cease fire immediately in Gaza; to stop the genocide against the civilian population, which violates the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter, international law, and international humanitarian law; and urges the accountability for such painful crimes against humanity,” the ALBA-TCP stated.

The US has blocked a statement, put forward by Algeria and backed by all UNSC’s 15 members except the US, to the UN Security Council that would have condemned Israel for the killing of more than 100 Palestinians awaiting food aid in northern Gaza. The US claimed it is trying to verify the “circumstances around how people died” to see if “we can find some language that everyone can agree on”.

Meanwhile, during a UN Security Council meeting on Friday, Washington blocked a statement, put forward by Algeria and backed by 14 countries, that called for a condemnation of the massacre that the Israeli occupation forces committed on the previous day.

"The U:S. claimed it is trying to verify the 'circumstances around how people died' to see if 'we can find some language that everyone can agree on'," Quds News Network reported.
