The anti-Israel UN would rather see Israel obliterated than stop Hamas.
Demonstrating just how far the UN has descended, last month Iran was appointed to chair a UN human rights council meeting in Geneva. Islamic countries have been buying out UN agencies to promote Sharia globally. The US and other Western countries should have long pulled all support from the UN.
Sadly, the UAE, which normalized relations with Israel during Trump’s presidency, supported the invocation of Article 99:
The UAE calls for a humanitarian ceasefire resolution to be adopted urgently and has just submitted a draft to the UNSC.
The situation in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic and close to irreversible. We cannot wait. The Council needs to act decisively to demand a humanitarian… https://t.co/mDr4c2F2FP

The UN should instead demand that the Muslim countries surrounding Israel take in Palestinian refugees, but the UN is too tightly aligned with Islamic regimes to prioritize Israel’s existence.
“Gaza: Guterres invokes ‘most powerful tool’ Article 99, in bid for humanitarian ceasefire,” UN, December 6, 2023:
In a letter to the Council, Mr. Guterres invoked Article 99, contained in Chapter XV of the Charter.
This says that the UN chief “may bring to attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion, may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.”
In a statement to journalists along with the letter, UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said that this was the first time Mr. Guterres had felt compelled to invoke Chapter 99, since taking office in 2017.
Scale of loss
Mr. Dujarric explained that the UN chief was taking the step “given the scale of the loss of human life in Gaza and Israel, in such a short amount of time”.
He described the use of Article 99 as a “dramatic constitutional move” that Mr. Guterres hoped would put more pressure on the Council – and the international community at large – to demand a ceasefire between the warring parties.
“I think it’s arguably the most important invocation”, Mr. Dujarric told reporters at UN Headquarters, “in my opinion, the most powerful tool that he [the Secretary-General] has.”…

UN schools being used as weapon storage places, Hamas tunnels into UN schools and other UN buildings. The UN has clearly shown whose side it is on after the Oct 7th outrageous attack. But the evidence shown shows the UN has ALWAYS been on the side of Hamas showing full support for a terrorist organization against the only Democracy in the entire region. Just as many donors are now withholding financial support for US universities for their coddling of Hamas, Democracies in the UN should consider leaving the UN and thinking about a new International body that is not beholding to any terrorist group.

Article 99, is a tentacle of that great octopus, “World Government”, which, when amputated, always grows back. When any structure grows real power, the interlopers arrive to ascend to its control, “by any means necessary”.
How dare Israel “overly” defend itself when the Islamic “Brothers” have penned up Palestinians and Hamas and paid money to watch a “cock fight”? Israel quickly winning will threaten the entertainment value of the fight and a handicap must be placed on it via the UN. The “Brothers” are cheering for a more “balanced” match to be extended. Moving closer one can hear, “Khaybar, Khaybar, Yehuda”. And they never want to allow their fighter outside the ring.

Your statement here should be the US government’s reply to Guterres’ unwarranted utterance. This relic of the early 1950s should go the way of its predecessor, the League of Nations.
Instead of condemning Israel at least once a day, Guterres should examine the slaughter of Africans by the Islamic extermination groups or perhaps the plight of poor non-Muslims born in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Oh my, I almost forgot about the murder of Iranian ladies who refuse to wear garments of subjugation.

Article 99 Vetoed
“What is the message we are sending Palestinians if we cannot unite behind a call to halt the relentless bombardment of Gaza?” Deputy UAE U.N. Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab asked the council.
How about, stop trying to annihilate Israel and stop sucking up to Putin.

It would first have to be established before anything could “threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.”
As long as islam is, as long as mozlums worship and murder as they do, and as long as there are other warmongers in the world, there will not be any “international peace and security.”
The Apostle Paul wrote: “Whenever it is that they are saying “‘Peace and Security,”‘ sudden destruction will be instantly upon them as pangs of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will not escape.”
More and more pressure exerted upon Israel to force them to give in to terror and allow themselves to be annihilated.

The UN has turned into a Global terrorist organization and should be disbanded forthwith and outlawed.

It’s bad enough the World is siding with terrorist palestine, but the UN for way too long is controlled by muslims and like nato etc should be shut down
