of during the last presidential election, george lee urged his more than 2000000 followers on tick tock to vote for joe biden . as a thank you, lee, along with a handful of other social media influencers, were invited to washington earlier this year to meet the president and get it behind the scenes tour of the white house. it was cool to be able to meet 1st lady by being able to meet joe by means of it to present him by being able to meet the amazing butlers and cooks. that was, that was note, but that was then. this is now binds embrace of benjamin netanyahu and israel's killing of innocent civilians from their constant bombardment of gaza has left li, angry, and frustrated. so he's taking his social media to call out the president and all 3 other times that joe biden, his license last week concerning the is rarely occupation of guys that at times it's just leaves the show. expressions that get his point across. and based on what
11:31 pm
i've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team. and lee is sympathetic to an online effort by some air of americans to boycott voting for bite and next year. know the data shows a lot of air, but americans are pondering to 2024 election boycott under biden's middle east stains because it is so horrific and humane. millennials and gen z social influence, there's are increasingly seeking out credible reporting on gaza and finding it from palestinian content creators. people like montez as i, and others like him. people on the ground are documenting less. you have like, citizen journalists who got like monetize who's literally 24 years old. his broadcasting us, i'm putting this on tech soccer, putting us on instagram. and people are watching it. he was, you know, people who are his exact age in other parts of the world. as for lee, he feels that god's a war has been in a wakening for social meet media influence. there's like himself,
11:32 pm
a lot of my followers on social media, a lot of my fellow categories, talk about how the information overload that we've done in the past month has ever changed the way to review our country international relations. and he made for a man who was recently a guest of the president, but like so many other young social media influencers. now, one of his harshest critics, gabriel was on don't. how does he to houston? as you tell you to the scene at the un security council in new york, and so you're telling us beginning to fall back in a different mindset beginning to take the seats. we've been watching this impending, but it's, it's for an immediate cease fire in gaza at the un security council, according for immediate humanitarian sci fi, it was due to take place this morning and then it was pushed forward several hours and then it was pulled back again that's about half an hour ago,
11:33 pm
and then that didn't happen. and since then to promote so being told behind plays doors and now the funding backend. so it looks as if it is due to a take place shortly. as i say to a vote and a resolution put forward by the u. a. e calling for an immediate humanitarian sees far in the gaza. remember the you and chief kind of gutierrez, it said that the situation in gaza. is it breaking point? and it's time to act as the eyes of the world and the eyes of history or watching. it will be interesting to see what the us does because so far everything us a said implies that they will veto this resolution, possibly upstate a, but not vote for it to the us is consistently of course, oppose international goals receipts far and, and so, as i say likely to vote against resolution at bits, us extra st. remember and to be blinking, he has always has relative to most protect civilians saying there is a gap between his promises and the reality on the ground. also with what she,
11:34 pm
what the u. k. do it's possible that the u. k. could join the united states in a v to remember the u. k has not used to veto since 1999. so lots of interesting elements to what's about to happen here. and that's bringing kristin salumi, who's in new york, your goddess monitoring development at. so what are you hearing about when this phase to, to take place and what is a expect to anytime soon? as well as you speak, i hear the bells ringing to signal the start of the meeting. so i think it's about to begin right now. we learned that france called for that closed door session before this was about to happen. it's not surprising, given that they were calling for a pause, a delay to get everybody on the same page to try to work out something that everyone could agree on before putting it to a vote. it looks like that vote is about to happen now. and kristen just give us an idea of it. okay, so that's what this evidence in, in,

11:41 pm
demand, the all parties comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law. notably with regard to the protection of civilians. it demands of the immediate and i'm conditional release of all hostages and requests the secretary general to report to the council on an urgent and continual basis. on the resolutions implementation, it is brief, it is simple. it is crucial. the draft echoes the call for a humanitarian sees fire made by world leaders, humanitarian organizations, and most recently by the secretary general and his extraordinary letter. we have expedited the negotiation process because after 63 days of conflict and after more than 18000 people have after 18000 people dead, there is nothing else left to do or say, other than to demand this war be brought tenant. the imperative of saving as many
11:42 pm
lives as possible right now. must supercede every other consideration. mister president, the adoption of resolution 2712 on 50 november mattered. but it was not enough. the bombing of guys must stopped. humanitarian aid needs to be delivered at scale. and the lives of scores of civilians including is really hostages must be protected. colleagues, i implore all of you to vote in favor of distress resolution. thank you mr. president. i don't know. i think the representative of the united america, i know, get the flow to the representative of the russian federation. suppose people thank you mister president's. this is when you say a business or 2 months, the un security council has not been able to fulfill its function for the maintenance of international peace and security and to demand and then to the bloodshed on the occupied palestinian territories and, and as well as you know,
11:43 pm
there is one reason for this all over the hall and headed to is selfish, destructive position of the usa, which is trying to do everything i can do to protect is allied and is essentially prohibiting the human security council from getting involved. so it's of the machine. so this time the council members have been forced to listen to washington saying that allegedly it was working within the bounds of its quiet diplomacy. and that it would be better for everyone else to stay out of it as well. the numerous american mystery used to visit one of them at least capital one was the outcomes of this client's diplomacy. a cemetery, a published and in children is which is what causes that has become and thousands of dead civilians. those must celeste is rarely bombings that have destroyed hospitalized schools and underwear facilities. gloves. and most importantly, and israel that has been in coverage to activate a new phase of its military operation. and it is still in planning to floods, tunnels and they don't play with sea water,
11:44 pm
which for the threats. and there's more months to issue, monetary and consequences. yet again, american diplomacy is leaving, scorched us and destruction. and its way to get, i think it's new to use the colleagues from the of the coming to us administration . of course, as our experience shows, it's hard to expect common sense. well, that's why i have to show you what do you think you can do? we have no illusions on this front, nor she just was it was absolutely, however, the supervisor and absolute truly exceptional situation has come about jesus in which we needs to act without being cause on the truck will do to to college. so how are you going to explain to your own citizens? hundreds of thousands of which are coming out to purchased in defense of palestine and american citizens. once again, you block the demand for an immediate cease fire. how were you going to look good you? i'm at least part because in the i do today a collectively asking for you to support the you, i use proposed dropped resolution. i hope that you realize how this is going to be seen in the region and beyond that, you wouldn't you today,
11:45 pm
the entire world has stood up to defend because it from title destruction and defendants residents from complete extermination. we'll see you now. you need to add lawson watson for all makes the right choice is only and alongside the overwhelming majority of the use of less international community supports the demand for an end to the violence frontier suits you. otherwise, you will end up on the wrong side of histories. of destroy these having supported in humane barbaric action was, and history will not forgive you for this dispute with the russian federation. since the beginning of the escalation has been cooling on, the un security council to respond for the demand for an immediate cease fire uses . will you propose a draft resolution on this on the 16th of october balances? unfortunately, due to the position of western integration, that was not the doctor's today is the 8th of december. unfortunately, another month and a half as being wasted. somebody was focusing because this is a with loses the so that he's greatest appreciation should be sign into the
11:46 pm
coverage and professionalism of, of diplomacy. and in particular the you a that i've taken upon themselves to prepare such a necessary products cooling for us. these files we also noted sets in for them, it is comprised, and the best traditions of the start decisions of the security council on them, at least looking for meetings. and we can start with the confidence that regardless of the outcomes of today's birds, abu dhabi has already made a contribution to the work of the un security council that will be remembered for a long time to come pretty much colleagues, our west and colleagues today have one more perhaps that last chance to rehabilitate themselves and to vote in favor of the use proposed a draft to just prefers on behalf of all of us. we hope that they will take advantage of this opportunity. thank you for your attention. quarter percent done. i think the representative of the russian federation for his statement. i would now submit to the bottom of the draft resolution. any single holder for those in favor
11:47 pm
of draw the drop resolution and document as drugs. 2023 samples has been started $970.00 a month left, a restaurant and going through against of since you on his extension's. this is what's going on with the results of the vote is as follows. 13 votes in phase one against one extension of the projectile. the draft resolution last seo pro has not been approved and be able to put them into to the veto of a permanent member of the security council. the order now gets the flow and the
11:48 pm
member has actually to the members of the council who would like to make a statement following the vote. didn't end up or not. i guess the so to the representative that they meet at the heart of the united arab emirates. mister president, the united arab emirates is deeply disappointed with the outcome of today's vote. regrettably, and in the face of untold misery, this council is unable to demand a humanitarian cease fire. let me be clear. against the backdrop of the secretary general's grave warnings. the appeals by humanity are in actors. the world's public opinion. this counsel grows isolated. it appears untethered from its own founding document. what is the message we are sending postings if we cannot unite behind a call to halt the relentless bombardment of gaza?
11:49 pm
indeed, what is the message we are sending civilians across the world who may find themselves in similar situations? mister president, the disappointing outcome of this vote will not deter us from continuing to implore council members to act and bring the violence in gaza 10 and the council must unite an app to end this war and the you and you will continue to insist that does thank you mister president. i, i think the representative of the united arab emirates i know, gets the flow to the representative of the united states. thank you, mr. present. colleagues, despite the rushed process and lack of appropriate consultation by the resolutions authors, united states engaged in good faith on this text. we propose language with an eye toward a constructive resolution that would have reinforced the live saving diplomacy. we have undertaken since october 7th, increased opportunities for humanitarian aid to enter gaza. encouraged the release
11:50 pm
of hostages and the assumption of humanitarian pauses and laid a foundation for a durable piece. unfortunately, nearly all of our recommendations were ignored. and the result of this rush process wasn't in balance resolution that was divorced from reality, that would not move the needle forward on the ground in any concrete way. and so we regretfully cannot support if we still cannot comprehend why the resolutions authors decline to include language condemning a mazda certificate. terrorist attack on israel on october 7th, and attacked the killed over 1200 people, women, children. the elder people from a range of nationalities, burned alive, gun down, subject to have seen sexual violence. we are very disappointed that for the
11:51 pm
victims of these heinous acts, the resolutions authors offered not their condolences or condemnation of their murderers, unfathomable. nor is there condemnation of the sexual violence unleashed by him us on october 7th, over the last 20 years. this council has repeatedly underscored the need to take seriously all reports of conflict related sexual violence. yet this council and many of its members had been conspicuously silent in response to reports. the most committed acts of sexual and gender based violence on october, 7th of these incidents must be investigated and condemned just as we do in any other conflict. equally disappointing is it the authors decline to add language, re affirming that the i c r. c must be permitted to access and provide medical
11:52 pm
treatment to the hostages still held by him aust terrace. and other extreme, this the resolution also fails to encourage or assumption every minute turn pauses to allow for the release of hostages and an increase of aid. this formula is worked . it could resume very quickly from us, agreed to release women and civilian hostages. this tech's also failed to acknowledge that israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism. consistent with international law. this is a right to which all states are entitled. as i stated earlier today, no country could or should tolerate what tomas did on october 7th. if any of our own countries had been attacked in this way, we would all expect this counsel to reaffirm our right to protect our citizens. perhaps most on realistically, this resolution retains
11:53 pm
a call for an unconditional cease fire. i explained to my remarks this morning. why this not only why this is not only unrealistic, but dangerous, it would simply from us in place able to regroup and repeat what it did. on october 7th, colleagues, senior from us official recently stated the group intends to repeat the vile acts of october 7 quote, again and again and again, unquote. and yet this resolution essentially says israel should just tolerate this, that it should allow this here to go on checked. that's not tenable. it's not realistic. and it's a recipe for disaster, for israel, for the palestinians, for the entire region. as long as the mice clings to its id, ology of destruction, nbc fire is it best temporary? and it's certainly not peace. and any see far we've some us and controls gaza with
11:54 pm
an art palestinian civilians. the chance to build something better for themselves. for that reason, although the united states strongly supports a durable piece in which both israelis and palestinians can live in peace and security. we do not support this resolution to call for an unsustainable c fire that will only plant the seeds for the next war. colleagues like you, i am heart broken by the images out of gaza from the depths of many thousands of civilians, including children. every innocent tell us to be in life last is a tragedy that rip support families and communities. it goes without saying that the united states supports the renewal of your monitoring process to enable the release of the provision of additional aid, even as we seeking into this war. not only for one day or one week, but forever. let us be clear. it is the rejection by the resolutions author of
11:55 pm
the united states. sensible indeed, essential proposals that is deprived this council of an opportunity to support the tough work necessary to break the cycle of violence and to lay the foundation for a more peaceful and secure future. united states will continue the hard work of diplomacy to free hostages to increase protection of civilians to expand humanitarian aid and to create an opportunity for palestinians and israelis to live side by side in peace and security. as well. we need to redouble our collective efforts to search men, to turn the systems to the pals to mean people and create conditions so that he may turn assistance, can reach people who need a we're in desperate need of food, of water, shelter. we are working toward that every day with israel, egypt, the when and others is present button reiterated last week quote. a
11:56 pm
2 state solution is the only way to guarantee the long term security of both these really and the palestinian people, unquote. we will continue to work towards his goal because the secretary blinking, it said that is the only way to insure less than security for jewish and democratic israel. the only way to ensure that the palestinians achieve their legitimate aspirations for a state of their own thinking this present 1st quarter present. i think the representative of the united states for his statement. i now get the flow to the representative of france. mr. president, that's cool. france is very consigned by the watch. can she monetary and tragedy taking place in gaza? the secretary general has raised the alarm and he was right. and it's for this reason that france voted in favor of this resolution. and it is the reason that we
11:57 pm
plead for a new your immediate and lasting humanitarian truce that should lead to a sustainable ceasefire. who, for our part, we don't see any contradiction in the fight against terrorism and the protection of the civilians. in strict respect for international should monetary and law, we would have wished this counsel to finally have been able to condemn the from us attacks and those of other terrorist groups on the 7th of october last but it was more unfortunately, once again, this we council has failed this with a lack of unity and by refusing to genuinely commit to negotiations in doing this, as i said, the crisis in gaza is getting worse and it runs the risk of extending the state. because that's yeah,
11:58 pm
and the council is not competing. it's monday. it's under the child to have a front, so we'll continue to be committed to fully mobilizing this council on all aspects of the crisis security cemetery and, and above all political thank q i was going to present, i think, the representative of front. so his statement and i'll get the floor to the representative of malta. thank you president. i begin by thanking the much the r m, or it's for the tireless efforts on this resolution. we deeply regret the comes soon was unable to call for an immediate cease fire. despite this for 2 need for one. and his less of the security council invoking oscar 9 tonight of view in charge of the security general conveyed to a message. the situation in gaza is untenable. catastrophic with hostilities inflicting immeasurable suffering on public order on the brink of collapse. president est earlier today, more to remain squarely consumed by the crime says,
11:59 pm
which hasn't got the region since. how much is a tax on 7th october. but it's rate or some combination of how much is bruce with terrorists? accidents right on. it's people, including sex with violence on the mutation bodies, because it's due to a truth that will cause for the release of all hostages, immediately safely and unconditionally, as mondays and by resolution for the 7th was the full implementation of old provisions of district which constitution is now even more critical weiser promising as restaurants protect the population, we emphasize yet again, that is the central peroration is possible, always abide by international humanitarian law including the principles of distinction. cool portion, oddity precaution, has also stated this morning. the protection of civilians severely infrastructure on humanitarian workers must be far as sized or policies must comply with the applications on the international. to this,
12:00 am
if you need us to read team in certain conditions within garza must be urgency address, this must include safe in the 2 minutes here. an access where un humanitarian agencies and the implementing process to facilitate the provision of a central goods and services. the well being of civilians, especially children, advocates getting up of the provisions of supplies to meet the needs of this for the population or still remains biogen. these are critical steps which are needed to save lives and avoid further the station on the breakdown of pop, the code that i would to pretty much like fx must be gets towards mitigating the risks of regional spillover. we must strive to establish a durable foundation of peace and security for finest indians and his red. he's a like the parameters for this over known and have become all the more evidence in the midst of this horrific prices. and.
