America has stopped the UN proposal to stop the war in Gaza. UN Chief Antonio Guterres had presented this proposal using Article 99 of the UN Charter.
In this proposal, Guterres had demanded to call an emergency meeting of the UNSC and declare a ceasefire. But America used veto on the proposal. Let us tell you that 5 permanent members of UNSC have veto power.
Using the veto, America said that this proposal is beyond the real conditions and it does not move even a needle on the ground.
