UN Security Council Fails to Condemn Hamas Attack on Israel
(UPI) Darryl Coote - An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Sunday failed to produce a joint statement concerning the attack on Israel, despite the U.S. calling on member nations to condemn Hamas. U.S. representative Robert Wood said "a good number of countries" did heed the call to condemn Hamas but not all did, suggesting that Russia was one of them. Unanimity is needed for a Security Council statement. China's representative Zhang Jun said Beijing was in favor of the council issuing a statement.
