linda thomas-greenfield said after the vote president joe biden is in the region engaging in diplomacy to secure the release of hostages to prevent the conflict from spreading. she said you need to let that the policy player. in new york, france 24. >> almost up into the last minute was hope that the united states might let this resolution go through. brazil worked really hard to make it palatable to the united states to wear a cease-fire was not even in there. it talked about humanitarian causes but as the brazilian delegate meant it, sadly, this resolution did not pass. the united states used its veto. this was because the u.s. wanted to leave room for biden to carry out diplomacy on the ground. and also because the united states objected to the fact that this resolution did not express -- support the way for israel to exist. the russian delegate really slammed the united states veto by saying this was hypocrisy and double standards. china's ambassador also described this as unbelievable. the fact that the u.s. decided to use its veto. the united states has been a staunch defender of

far, was betoed by the us and the uk, addressing the council, the us ambassador to the un, linda thomas greenfielduncil should not stand for it. instead, we should come together around the resolution proposed by the united states, a resolution that not only includes, but also builds on many elements of the text, brazil put forward. last week, our resolution unequivocally, the us on voice said her country's resolution unequivocally condemmed hamas attacks on israel while affirming right of member states to defend themselves. she claimed draft resolution was strong and balanced. the russian ambassador for his part rejected the us resolution saying right to self-defense does not apply to an occupying power. deal a significant legal problem in the draft is the reference to the right to self-defense which was confirmed by the international court in this advisory opinion of 2000 is inadmissible when we're talking about an occupying power israel regarding the palestinian territories is precisely that we see no point in supporting document whose aim is solely one thing to serve the geopolitical interests

ambassador to the u.n., linda thomas-greenfield moments ago at the security council speaking about theat has happened in israel from gaza, from the hamas leaders of gaza, the terrorists. earlier, president biden and his national security team spoke for more than an hour on a call with family members of the 14 americans still not accounted for following the attack on israel just saturday morning. cbs's scott pelley asked the president why he wanted to do that, why he wanted to speak to them during an interview taped for "60 minutes." >> why do you feel so strongly about speaking to these families personally on zoom? >> because i think they have to know that the president of the united states of america cares deeply about what's happened, deeply. we have to communicate to the world, this is critical. this is not even human behavior, it's pure barbarism and we're going to do everything in our power to get them home if we can find them. >> joining me now, journalist, author, and msnbc contributor. jonathan, you've spent years covering the middle east, covering this region in gaza, in israe

fire or a resolution that does not mention israel's right to defend itself, and that's what linda thomas-greenfield, our ambassador made clear. that is the american position. right now, the secretary general, the u.n. secretary general in egypt with the egyptian foreign minister has called for a cease fire. that's the u.n. secretary general's position, and it is in disagreement with america right now. the u.s., the administration is in an awkward position because they want to get the aid in, they have been the chief proponent of getting the aid in. they thought they had a deal with israel yesterday, that israel was satisfied about the conditions to get aid in, that israeli had a justifiable concern, a legitimate concern, matt miller, the state department spokesperson said a few minutes ago, a legitimate concern that the aid would be diverted for hamas and its warriors, not for the people who need it. they were work ongoing that. david satterfield, one of our diplomats is work ongoing that very intensely. the egyptians have not let the aid go in. it's a three-way deal, israel, egypt, the u.s. bargai

well, as we heard from linda thomas greenfield, the united states said that there was no mention in this resolution of israel's right to self put to protect itself. and that it wasn't strong enough in a naming israel's right to protect itself. and you of excuse me, sorry, distraction here, but so the united states wanted the stronger language that, that talked about israel's right to protect itself. this after many negotiations and changes were made to the resolution. 12 people, 12 countries of the 15 on the security council did vote in favor of this resolution . and they have been speaking since the vote to express their disappointment that it didn't pass. most notably brazil that led the negotiations and drafted the resolution. they said that it is a disappointment because they have worked so hard to accommodate the concerns of all members of the council to get an urgent response. they say a sentiment echoed by many members of the security council, but it doesn't reflect well on the council which is charged with protecting peace and security. let me give you some of the other comments

it makes us look like it's very much on one side, particularly if you see linda, thomas greenfield. the us and best of the use of the time for us time, the us and other western countries when they voted down that russian resolution calling for a ceasefire. they did the reason they say they loaded it down their reason for voting it down was saying it does not include a condemnation of hum us. as far as you know, as far as we know, does that remain that us line, we will only approve a text that condemns from us when i think the us line, which they would say publicly the us line is that they want israel to be allowed to continue, it's authoration, they believe israel has the right of self defense and israel has the right to continue this operation. but that argument gets harder and harder and harder to make when you see things like you saw in recent hours. and it was interesting. you have chris got us on a moment ago. i know very well. one of the things i think we should also focus on with regard to what happened with a miss. so is the fact that lee is right? the military have been pos

us permanent representative linda thomas greenfield explained why her country vetoed brazilian draftugh justification for the tsahal's brutal attack on the hospital. the american diplomat was echoed by her british colleague. the us is disappointed that the resolution does not mention israel's right to self-defense. like every country. and in the world, israel has an inherent right to self-determination, as reflected in article 51 of the charter. the draft resolution ignores the fact that hamas is using innocent palestinian civilians as human capital. therefore uk abstains. the us refusal to support the draft resolution on the middle east led to a massive demarche at another meeting of the un human rights committee in geneva. speeches by the american ambassador, most foreign diplomats pointedly turned away from the podium. and i would like to add, they repainted their avatars in colors that corresponded, you are an evil person, yes, okay , about the kind of muslim reaction, we will talk a little later, about the street, yan yanych, if i quote you correctly, now you are yours. before t

us permanent representative linda thomas greenfield then claimed that vladimir putin dreams of restoring the rest of the world moved forward, in the summer the polish one called to stop russian imperialism... president duda assured that this could be done at a low cost, throwing ukrainian soldiers into the furnace of war, whom it seemed that they did not feel sorry for. the polish press is talking about russia's imperial ambitions. journalists call russia a unique example of an empire that expanded its territories without colonialism. the osce absolutely disagrees with this thesis; they believe that our country is a colonial empire. on this occasion they even accepted the corresponding resolution. american political scientists are also speculating. we are again on the brink of great power conflict, as was the case during the first and second world wars. putin continues to drag us into the past, demanding russian supremacy and dominance. however, the russians themselves are not alien to imperial ambitions. the may survey showed how our citizens’ perception of relations between russia and

linda thomas-greenfield went in october of last year, about a year ago, and announced $30 million in funding, i believe. after spending time there, i think that really staved off famine. reality is they are on the brink of famine. they have faced season after season of drought. when you combine that with al-shabaab, you cut -- they come into these areas and kill livestock and cattle, burn fields, drive people out of their homes and their lands. they kidnap. it is just such a dire situation for these people. and it is not getting a lot of attention on the world stage because we are so focused on other horrible humanitarian crises around the world. niger and somalia, i was proud we were able to bring the story back to the u.s., a story that i do not think is told very often. >> what did you see with u.s. forces in their somali counterparts? were you able to see them training together? did you see what the isr provided? what did they allow you to view while you were there? what about that access? >> the u.s. gave us a lot of access. we were supposed to interview the somali president, an

thank you mr. president, ibex and linda thomas in greenfield, and you guys are invested to united nations talking about the, the resolution that the us is typing, which would include the woods humanitarian poses for safe and unaided access. also talking about concrete steps to avoid conflict spreading. and also saying that those who fund how much to be stopped at, let's bring in on political and the small and bizarre. so mon lots to talk about lots to kind of tying together. but 1st let's focus on this. what's happening at the un, because we have this us resolution. there's going to be a russian resolution sort of head to head at. what do you think it will or well, you know, there's nothing. this is secure the concept as far as between bush audiences. while they're trying to make some force, they're certainly trying to score horns against each other and clearly wherever each draft resolution guess in terms of thoughts. and the end of the day, i mean one of the to what was able to be to either. so mike says they say probably we'd be good to wait, i don't think they got a chance to look in

linda thomas-greenfield saying at that same meeting, that same session, by fail to go condemn hamas,iving cover to a terrorist group that brutalizes innocent civilians. it's outrageous, hypocritical. the u.s. didn't like a brazilian resolution that called for pauses, that condemned violence against civilians and condemned the heinous acts by hamas. i was told for the u.s. that was too much equivalence. i think it's notable, for example, that last night the votes for that russian residence -- resolution including the united arab emirates. polls, very strong deep polling suggests the arab street's view of israel hasn't moved by more than a few percentage points since the abraham accords apparently improved relations. we're seeing russia and china in lock step. president putin meeting with president xi in china tomorrow. i thought one phrase from the chinese foreign minister, wangy e, saying there is no way out through military means, and using violence for violence will only create a vicious cycle. clearly america needs as many allies for this as possible, so does israel and clearly am
