Brazil suspects that the United States is forcing Russia’s veto at the UN, sources say

Brazilian diplomatic sources suspect that the United States is forcing Russia’s veto on the UN security council by proposing a new resolution, as found by the CNN .

The Americans want to focus on Israel’s right to defense and are consulting with other countries to find out whether it is possible to vote on the proposal. Israel’s right to defense was not included in the previous proposal vetoed by the Americans.

Diplomatic sources report that Brazil, Russia and Switzerland are already preparing comments on the American text seeking to include humanitarian aspects of protection for the Palestinian civilian population and the disproportionate use of force by Israel if it violates international law.

If the Americans do not agree to these addendums, sources say, the Russians should veto them. Brazilian diplomats believe that this is exactly the American interest: sharing the cost of vetoing the resolution of the Hamas – Israel war with Russia.
It is worth remembering that the Russians highlight the humanitarian issue in Palestine, but are promoting a war in Ukraine with hundreds of deaths and accusations of torture.
