Archives Palestine's plight - New Eastern Outlook

Something extraordinary took place within the walls of the UN: the US was the only member to veto a UN Security Council resolution providing for an ‘immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire’ in the Gaza Strip.

However, this is nothing, basically just a small change compared to what is starting in the Northern section of Gaza and what is obviously planned for Lebanon.
