Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The White House said challenges are changing and it believes reform by the UN is “appropriate.”<\/p>\n

“We do believe that reform and adaptation by the United Nations is appropriate. The kinds of challenges that we\u2019re all facing are changing, and they\u2019re changing so rapidly,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in response to a question by Anadolu on the effectiveness of the global body.<\/p>\n

Kirby cited artificial intelligence in remarks Tuesday to reporters in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few years ago, we weren\u2019t really talking about that. So, it\u2019s important that the UN keep up with the kinds of global transnational challenges that we\u2019re facing,” he said. “And there\u2019s a speed that needs to go along with that so that the UN can help the entire international community address these challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about attacks by Israel in the Gaza Strip and their effect on US vetos on resolutions about the war in the Palestinian enclave, Kirby said: “Those resolutions that we veto \u2013 they didn\u2019t even condemn Hamas.”<\/p>\n

“There was nothing in there that \u2013 about what Hamas did on the 7th of October. And I think it\u2019s really important for all of us to remember how this started. There was a cease-fire in place on the 6th of October. One man chose to violate that and start this war. And we\u2019ve got to keep coming back to that,” he said.<\/p>\n

Kirby indicated that the US has been “candid” on concerns about the way Israel has prosecuted some actions in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“No doubt about it. There have been too many innocent lives \u2013 and I\u2019m talking about Palestinian lives in Gaza \u2013 taken or affected in dangerous, terrible ways by this conflict. And we have been very, very clear with the Israelis about our concerns, privately and publicly, about the way in which some of these operations are being conducted,” he said. “And we\u2019ll continue to do that going forward, no question about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

“But I think it\u2019s important to remember how this all started and what some of those resolutions said and did not say. And my goodness, you\u2019ve got to stand on principle. And President Biden does that. And from the very beginning, we\u2019ve made it clear that Hamas is responsible for this war. And if you\u2019re going to put a resolution up at the UN, it\u2019s got to at least start with putting the blame where it belongs, and it belongs on Mr. (Yahya) Sinwar,” Kirby added, referring to the Hamas political bureau chief<\/p>\n

Israel has continued a brutal offensive on Gaza since a cross-border attack by Hamas last October, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.<\/p>\n

Nearly 41,500 victims, mostly women and children, have since been killed and more than 96,000 injured, according to local health authorities.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.<\/p>\n

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.<\/p>\n
