ANKARA, June 2 (TNS): Spokesman of the Turkish President “Ibrahim Kalin” on Saturday condemned the U.S. for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution for the protection of Palestinians.
“It is not surprising that the U.S. administration vetoed the resolution for the protection of the Palestinian people,” Kalin said on Twitter.
“US move confirms that they side with the powerful, not the righteous. “The Palestinian people and Jerusalem are not alone. We will continue to support their just cause,” he added.
On May 18, Kuwait submitted a draft resolution at the UN Security Council that condemned Israeli violence and called for “protection of the Palestinian people” in Gaza and the West Bank. The U.S. on Friday vetoed the resolution.
The final draft called for “the consideration of measures to guarantee the safety and protection of the Palestinian civilian population in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in the Gaza Strip”.
