United Nations, June 2 (IANS) General Assembly President Volkan Bozkir is "saddeneda¿ by India's reaction to his statements on Kashmir, according to his Deputy Spokesperson Amy Quantrill, who has asserted that they were taken out of context.
The United States said Wednesday it opposes a proposed UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in the conflict between Israel and Gaza s Hamas rulers, reiterating that it could interfere with the Biden administration s efforts to end the hostilities. France drafted the resolution after the US blocked at least four attempts to have the council issue a press statement calling for an end to the violence, giving the same reason. Diplomats said all other council members supported the statement. A press statement requires agreement by all 15 council members, but a resolution requires only at least nine yes votes and no veto by the United States or any of the four other permanent members.
