WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The UN Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave.

Hamas, in a statement, reiterated that it will not disarm and argued that its fight against Israel is legitimate resistance, potentially pitting the militant group against the international force authorized by the resolution.

Russia, which holds a veto on the Security Council, earlier signaled potential opposition to the resolution but abstained from the vote, allowing the resolution to pass. The UN ambassadors of Russia and China also abstained, complained that the resolution does not give the UN a clear role in the future of Gaza.

    Israel is backed by the United States in the UN. An uncooperative Israel can effectively block this.

    Alternatively it could devolve into something truly horrific, as you suspect. And the other members of the security council will deeply regret their votes.

      Israel doesn’t want to block this. The plan does everything they want. Disarm the resistance, no security guarantees for Palestinians from Israeli attacks, and no statehood for Palestinians.

          Yes it does. It couples IDF withdrawal from Gaza beyond the yellow line to disarming of the Palestinian resistance.

          China and Russia have endorsed the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

            Hey Geneva, just FYI, when you realized we were right in a couple of days, this is why I was telling you to stop getting psyopped over and over again by drop site news type shit. You’re not a fucking Marxist, okay? You don’t understand what the fuck you’re even looking at. What did you do after I told you that the cradle was hiring CIA reporters? Did you even go and check who I was talking about? Did a flicker of recognition go through your empty fucking skull? Yeah, I didn’t think so. So let’s see if this gets your noggin’ joggin’. What outcome do you expect from Russia and China rejecting a ceasefire that every Arab country the United States and Western country is implementing in the Middle East right now? What do you genuinely believe would happen?

            Do you think nobody else has even thought about this for a second? Do you think that nobody else is as convinced of the importance of human life as you are? And nobody else has even considered this?

            Are you going to fall for the same fucking trick they pull on you again and again and again and again for the next two years?

            People like you are honestly so embarrassing the way you do this repeatedly.

            Honestly, the way people act like America has good propaganda. No, you people are just desperate. For any explanation for why America is not as at fault as people say it is. like the actual audacity to assume that everybody is using the same slap dash ninth grader doing a group project type logic as you in the central committee of the CPC you are not in our reality

            But whatever why should that matter to you just go post the guardian go post al jazeera go post ryan grim go post glenn greenwald go post jeremy scahill. You love CIA slop. All you know is CIA slop

            If I had a choice between taking a pill to become as fucking stupid as you Geneva and actually putting a gun in my mouth and pulling the trigger, I would shoot myself twice.

            You people are so sad and fucking confused. I don’t understand how I always get it right the first time, and you never fucking get it right. But it’s clear you don’t really do any work. Apologies for any dictation errors.
