Palestinian envoy to UN condemns ‘reckless’ US veto of ceasefire push

NEW YORK (AFP): The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations Riyad Mansour called Washington’s veto of a Security Council push for a ceasefire “absolutely reckless and dangerous” on Tuesday.

“The message given today to Israel with this veto is that it can continue to get away with murder,” Mansour said in an emotional statement to the Security Council.
