🇨🇴 🇵🇸 “Israel’s war is also a war against truth.” Colombia’s Permanent Rep. to the UN, Leonor Zalabata Torres, addressed the Security Council meeting on the situation in Gaza on June 18. She said: “The dissemination of biased, partial information, alongside the prohibition of access by the international press and the deliberate killings of more than 200 journalists in Gaza since 2023, cannot fabricate an alternative reality… Israel must allow the entry of the international press and protect the life, integrity, and work of journalists and humanitarian personnel across the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The international community must demand the immediate, safe release of medical and healthcare personnel, including personnel from the Palestinian Red Crescent who have been abducted by the IDF and associated militias... Fourth: We appeal for consistency. The halls of the U.N. ring out with expressions of concern regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza. We repudiate violations of international law by Israel. However, all too often, the same countries that make these statements allow their ports to be used to send weapons to Israel, weapons that war criminals pursued by the ICC take in or allow to move through their territory. Businesses continue to trade with those advocating for the annexation and displacement of the Palestinian people. The genocide in Gaza has been, and continues to be, facilitated by the actions and oversights of the international community. Stopping that genocide is a collective responsibility.” 🎥 UN, June 18, 2026. Full remarks below ⬇️

Serious Rupture in Franco-American Friendship? U.S. marches out on the French in protest On SubStack United Nations. The U.S. calls French remarks “politicized drivel ( and walks out of the U.N. Security Council while they speak. And just like that, after scores of speeches throughout France and the U.S. on July 4 about the 250 years of alliance, the good will between Washington and Paris appeared to take a dramatic turn south. The setting of the walkout was a meeting of the 15-nation U.N. Security Council meeting on July 27 on Ukraine when France’s Ambassador Jerome Bonnafont spoke, referring to Washington’s “disingenuous grandstanding.” The ‘beef’ was about the vote on the previous Friday afternoon that extended the current U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights’ term – which France supported and the U.S. did not. Ambassador Dan Negrea ( the Representative of the United States to the United Nations Economic and Social Council and Alternate Representative of the United States to the Sessions of the General Assembly, told Council members that “there is a member of this Council that will feign moral outrage and pretend to lecture the rest of us about every topic, whether it’s about the very conflict we’re discussing yet again today, or even those unrelated to international peace and security, like human rights.” “That is why we walked out during France’s intervention,” Negrea said. Before the vote, U.S. Ambassador for U.N. Management Reform Jeffrey Bartos ( called on states to vote no saying that the High Commissioner has guided the U.N. human rights apparatus “to its deathbed.” The public display of discord began after the Friday vote in which the U.S. joined nine other countries in the General Assembly – in what was ultimately a failed effort to stop the reappointment – to vote against Turk. But after the vote, France’s delegation in Geneva (where the human rights divisions are based), posted a no-holes-barred response, saying, “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore….” adding the hashtag “#AmericaAlone.”
