UN Ambassador Meets with Audience Disapproval, Faces Boos

In a heated exchange at the United Nations, Morgan Ortagus, the U.S. representative to the UN, faced backlash after vetoing a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. A rally supporting Palestine booed Ortagus, with pro-Palestinian activists gathering outside the building to heckle her.

The incident was captured on video and shared by 'InoSMI', showing protesters shouting 'Shame on you! Shame!' and asking if Ortagus was proud of herself. Israel rejected the accusations as 'distorted and false', while a UN special commission found Israel's actions in Gaza to be genocide, according to a 72-page report that stated four out of five 'acts of genocide' as defined by the 1948 Convention had been committed.

Meanwhile, the European Commission has suspended financial aid to Israel due to the events in Gaza. On the other hand, the President of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, declared his country's support for Israel 'at any cost,' defending this stance as aligned with protecting the 'ideal values of the West,' such as family, marriage, and community, which he sees as essential principles of Paraguayan society and international policy.

Elsewhere, İhsan Sefer, a former Turkish military attaché and retired Air Force colonel, stated that the U.S. and Israel aim to alter the demographic and political map of Gaza, with the stated aim being to turn the region into a zone for American economic projects, including tourism and investment.

Regarding Russia, no information was provided about how Russia will take Odessa or about Trump's reaction to Russia's surprise for the EU. Similarly, no information was available about Ukraine's Office reacting to new Russia sanctions.

The controversy continues as both sides stand firm in their positions, with the UN, European Commission, and pro-Palestinian activists calling for immediate action, while Israel and the U.S. insist on their right to self-defence. The situation in Gaza remains a pressing concern for the international community.
