Japan is unable to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security, cannot win the trust of the international community, and therefore is fundamentally unqualified to seek a seat as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Ambassador Sun Lei, Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations, said at the first meeting of the intergovernmental negotiations on the reform of the Security Council during the 80th session of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday local time, according to a release from China’s Permanent Mission to the UN.

The German FM puts forward two key policy reasons as to why Germany - for the first time - lost a bid for an elected seat on the UN Security Council. Germany's support for Ukraine and its support for Israel. Let's be clear: Germany's support for Ukraine had nothing to do with it. Portugal and Austria - who beat Germany - are no less supportive of Ukraine. It has EVERYTHING to do with Germany's support for Israel's genocide and the manner in which the German government has been willing to undermine international law and the UN Charter on behalf of Israel. Germany's blind support for Israeli crimes cost Germany its seat on the UNSC. As it should.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on why Germany lost UN seat: There's our rock-solid support for Ukraine. It is no secret that Russia does not want such a voice at the table — and campaigned against us. It also may have cost us votes that Germany must always assume a special responsibility for Israel with regard to the Middle East conflict. We will continue to live up to our historical responsibility — even as we criticize specific policies of the current government.

The Labour leader of Camden council (Keir Starmer’s local council) has failed to win a seat. He deserted his previous seat because he was worried about losing it to the Lib Dems, leaving it to stand in what he thought was a safer seat. And the Greens have just beaten him!
