Netanyahu Cancels Washington Delegation Visit After U.S. Abstains From U.N. Cease-Fire Vote

[womanofthehills]

TOPLINE Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a planned Israeli delegation visit to Washington D.C.—as he had threatened to do—just minutes after the United Nations Security Council passed a cease-fire resolution on Monday that the U.S. refused to veto

The U.S. abstained from Monday’s resolution vote, which passed with 14 member states voting in favor and called for a cease-fire during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, as well as the “immediate and unconditional release of all hostages” and access for humanitarian aid into Gaza.

In a series of tweets, the prime minister’s office argued the U.S. had “abandoned its policy” of explicitly linking a cease-fire to the release of hostages, and for that reason, Netanyahu “decided that the delegation will remain in Israel.”https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/03/25/netanyahu-cancels-washington-delegation-visit-after-us-abstains-from-un-cease-fire-vote/?sh=3b2b85ca7339

1. Oh.noes. We shouldn't be sending our taxes money to him, either.

2. Good. Now would be a great time to tell him to do without our financial support and our weapons.

3. War monger Netanyahu is determined to invade Rafah and keep the war going...

to stay out of jail. He's basically asking for a confrontation with the US, Israel's only ally in the region. Now we have a good reason to halt our support of weapons and funds.

4. Israel doesn't have too many friends left

5. Good. Fuck off and drop dead, Bibi.

6. Count me in as someone who opposed the war from the start.

Killing all the Gazans will not wipe out Hamas.

Peace, waged aggressively as war, is the only answer.
