Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya called out the United States over the latter's move to block a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) draft resolution on Palestine becoming a full member of the UN.
"Having, for the fifth time since the beginning of the exacerbation in Gaza, [used] their veto, [the US] once again demonstrated what they really think of the Palestinians," Nebenzya commented at a UNSC meeting.
The latest decision implies that Washington doesn't want Palestine to have its own state, the Russian representative said. He once again accused the US of turning a blind eye to Israel's crimes.
