| diplomaticbriefing Dec 14 | After being diplomatically isolated at the United Nations over its invasion of Ukraine, Russia appears smug as the United States suffers a similar fate for its support of Israel and its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. More than three-quarters of the 193-member U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday backed a demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the two-month long conflict after the U.S. vetoed the measure in the Security Council days earlier. "With its veto the American side essentially issued a license to kill and now bears full responsibility for each new victim of the conflict in Gaza," Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the General Assembly after the vote.
