The President of the United Nations Security Council, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said in a meeting on the Middle East, including the Palestine issue, that the American diplomatic cover-up of Israel’s attack on Palestine made Washington directly involved in the Middle East and the Ukraine conflict.

“By offering diplomatic cover for Israel’s actions and by sending arms and ammunition, Washington has become directly involved in this conflict, as in the case of the Ukraine situation,” he said. He also said that the bloodshed in the Middle East will stop after America’s support for Israel ends.

He also said that the United States, by resorting to veto rights, is blocking the UN Security Council’s call for a lasting and comprehensive ceasefire.
