The United States has rejected a United Nations General Assembly resolution on Israel and Gaza, calling it, ‘biased and counterproductive.’
In a press release dated Friday, December 12th, Principal Deputy Spokesperson Thomas “Tommy” Pigott said the resolution was unserious and biased, arguing that it undermines meaningful diplomatic efforts rather than advancing peace.
According to Pigott, the resolution distracts from the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which he said was adopted during the tenure of President Donald J. Trump and outlines a roadmap aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza.
“The United States is with Israel in rejecting this idea in its entirety,” Pigott said.
He also criticized the resolution for relying on an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, describing it as a mockery of international law.
Pigott denounced the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), saying it is a Hamas subsidiary that is unaccountable, corrupt, and has no role in the future of Gaza.
He said Washington would continue to pursue President Trump’s vision: a prosperous Gaza, free from terrorist rule, that is no longer a threat to Israel, with assistance flowing and diplomatic progress maintained.
The U.S. vote once again showed Washington’s isolation within the UN General Assembly on Israel-Palestine matters, even as it continues to back an alternative diplomatic track shaped during the previous administration.
