“Forgive us”, Amar Bendjama as Morgan Ortagus, US Deputy Special Envoy to the Middle East, sitting next to him shamelessly watched. “Forgive us, O the people of Palestine, because this Council could not save your children — more than 18,000 of them have been killed by Israel”. The Algerian representative at the UNSC also accused that Israel is shielded because of the bias of the international law. “Famine now spreads in Gaza, and the UN Security Council could not even act to denounce it as Israel is shielded — not by international law, but by the bias of the international system”, he said. Ortagus had justified the US stand, accusing Hamas being the responsible of the sufferings of the Palestinians in Gaza.
