Panelists like Yashua Bengio warned that a handful of companies and countries are taking reckless risks with humanity's fate.

The UN Security Council failed to pass rival resolutions from the U.S. and Russia regarding the conflict in Gaza. The primary point of contention is the terminology of a "ceasefire" versus a "humanitarian pause." National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby stated that the U.S. opposes a full ceasefire because it would primarily benefit Hamas.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1600-unpack-it/chapter/un-security-council-veto-russian-diplomatic-maneuvers.md

The United States stands alone in vetoing a UN Security Council resolution that called for "humanitarian pauses" to deliver aid to Gaza, citing the resolution's failure to mention Israel's right to self-defense. Russia responds by suggesting the issue be moved to the General Assembly, where no country holds veto power. The hosts characterize the U.S. veto as a technicality that serves as a further "triggering mechanism" for regional anger.

The hosts highlight how a 15-second clip of Kirby was used out of context on social media to suggest the U.S. was abandoning Ukraine. Kirby's full statement was actually a plea to Congress for more long-term funding.

New York Times columnist David Brooks predicted that the war in Ukraine will likely stretch for another year before reaching a conclusion.
