At the United Nations, Arab nations called on the Security Council to adopt a resolution condemning Israel for its ongoing attack on Gaza. Algerian’s U.N. Ambassador said “The Palestinian people are exposed to a virtual war of extermination. The unfettered use of brutal force is terrifying.” The U.S. indicated it would veto any anti-Israel resolution. Agence France Press reports U.S. Ambassador John Danforth accused the United Nations of acting “as the adversary of Israel and the cheerleader of the Palestinians.”
