A Sputnik correspondent reports that the United States has once again blocked a draft UNSC resolution calling for an “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza” and the release of all hostages.
The other 14 Council members voted IN FAVOR.
The text, drafted by the 10 non-permanent members, also urged Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid and ensure its unimpeded delivery to civilians.
This marks the third US veto of similar drafts — after earlier ones on November 20, 2024 and June 2025. UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed disappointment at the failure of the June resolution.

Justice ministers from Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger met in Niamey, Niger this week to prepare for a coordinated exit from the International Criminal Court, seeking to replace The Hague-based legal institution with a Sahelian Criminal Court.
The decision stems from the fact that the ICC is being used as a tool by the West against African nations, Amadou Tieoule Diarra, a top Malian legal expert closely involved in the Sahel Confederation member’s legal and governance reforms, told Sputnik.
💬 “The International Criminal Court is being exploited by the West. In reality, what we are seeing is a so-called ‘spectacle of justice’…The principal of equality before the law has ceased to apply. It has failed thanks to double standards,” he explained.
In reality, the West uses the court only to “discipline” African leaders, Diarra added.
The idea of a Sahelian Criminal Court to replace the ICC is based on “a desire for emancipation and objectivity,” according to the legal expert.
💬 “Citizens of the Confederation of Sahel States will be able to identify with their judges. The Confederation reaffirms its commitment to principles based on the public interest,” Diarra summed up.

🇲🇩 Patriotic bloc rules out coalition with Moldova’s ruling party: ex-president
The Patriotic electoral bloc — uniting Socialists, Communists, Heart of Moldova and Future of Moldova — will seek coalition talks with all parties except the ruling Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), former president Igor Dodon told Sputnik.
🗳 Parliamentary elections in Moldova are scheduled for September 28.
He stressed the bloc is ready to work with other opposition parties to form a majority, noting that its four leaders had signed a public pledge not to cooperate with PAS and invited others to do the same.
Dodon also criticized the Moldovan authorities for what he called repressive measures against dissent: criminal cases against opposition figures, restrictions on protests around election time, attempts to block candidates’ registration, and the 2023 closure of 13 TV channels and dozens of websites, including Sputnik Moldova.
