RUSSIA SLAMS WEST OVER GAZA UNSC RESOLUTION FAILURE


Russia Slams West over Gaza UNSC Resolution Failure

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Western political forces for failing to produce a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire and settlement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, despite reports of child casualties in the Gaza Strip. 

Zakharova's statement came during a Sputnik Radio broadcast where she commented on UNICEF's data confirming over 2,300 child fatalities in Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need for a UNSC resolution. "This is the most obvious and rather simple thing to do in this situation: simply to produce a statement, a resolution, a document with a unified call for a ceasefire, settling the situation, and so on," Zakharova said.


In a show of solidarity with Palestine amid ongoing Israeli attacks, envoys from Arab and Muslim nations convened in Moscow. Journalist Yulia Shapovalova reported that they gathered outside the Palestine mission in Moscow to denounce the violence in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, with ambassadors from the Arab League, Syria, Bahrain, and others in attendance. "They blame Israel for all the atrocities being committed," Shapovalova noted.

Israeli airstrikes have persistently targeted civilians and homes across various areas in Gaza. Notably, the al-Shati camp, heavily populated, witnessed casualties as did the al-Maghazi camp and Khan Younis, with dozens of children and others losing their lives.


The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza reported that at least 6,546 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 7, including 756 in the last 24 hours. Among them, at least 2,704 children have been killed, and 17,439 people wounded amid the non-stop Israeli bombardment on residential areas.

On October 7, Palestinian resistance groups staged a surprise attack into Israeli-occupied territory from the Gaza Strip in response to the aggressive actions of the Israeli regime against the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In retaliation, Israel announced a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, and initiated airstrikes on the enclave as well as certain parts of Lebanon and Syria.

US ‘Biggest Nuclear Threat’: China

  TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The United States poses the greatest danger to the world when it comes to the risks of a potential nuclear conflict, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang told journalists on Friday. Beijing has accused Washington of making “irresponsible decisions” in attempts to maintain its hegemony, including through intimidating the international community with its nuclear arsenal, RT reported. The damning statement came in response to the Pentagon’s decision to upgrade US Forces Japan into a joint force headquarters under the command of a three-star officer reporting to the commander of the Indo-Pacific Command. The announcement was made by the US Defense Department in late July following the meeting of the American and Japanese defense and foreign policy chiefs. US Defense Secretary Llyod Austin hailed the development as “one of the strongest improvements in our military ties with Japan in 70 years” at that time. He also said that the two sides “held a separ...

Police Back on Bangladesh Capital’s Streets As Strike Ends

  TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bangladeshi police resumed patrols of the capital Dhaka on Monday, ending a weeklong strike that left a law and order vacuum following the abrupt ouster of autocratic ex-premier Sheikh Hasina. Officers vanished from the streets of the sprawling megacity of 20 million people last week after Hasina’s resignation and flight abroad ended her 15-year rule, AFP reported. Police were loathed for spearheading a lethal crackdown on the weeks of protests that forced her departure, with 42 officers among the more than 450 people killed. Police had vowed not to resume work until their safety on duty was guaranteed, but they agreed to return after late-night talks with the new interim government, helmed by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. “It’s good to be back,” assistant commissioner Snehasish Das said while standing at a busy intersection directing traffic. “As we feel secure now, we are back on duty.” Student-led protests against Hasina’s government had been largely peace...
