WITH the US veto of the UAE draft resolution on humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, it has become clear that the solution to the current conflict in the territory may not lie with the UN. The implication of the US veto of the UAE draft resolution is that the carnage in Gaza, which started October 7, 2023, may continue unabated. Lest we forget, the primary objective of the Israeli government in invading Gaza is the complete annihilation of Hamas. It will, at best, remain a mere façade to justify the continued destruction of innocent life and infrastructure in Gaza by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). That leaves Turkiye as a possible candidate for redeeming the increasingly desperate situation in Gaza.
