‘All about politics’: US allows UN Gaza ceasefire resolution to pass

Former Foreign Minister Alexander Downer says the United States not vetoing a ceasefire vote was “all about politics”.
On Monday, the United Nations Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza was passed after America abstained from voting.
The US has previously vetoed various draft resolutions put forward by the council since October last year regarding the war between Hamas and Israel.
Mr Downer claimed the move to not block Monday’s resolution marks was an effort from the Democrats to try and win back some of the Muslim voters ahead of the election in November.
“When you look back on the Michigan primaries there was a sort of whatever it was … a 20 per cent abstention by Democrats who were mainly Muslim Democrats,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“The Biden team were stung by this and wanted to try and win back Muslim votes for the Democrats.”
