But with the bigst Israeli attack on Leprohibiton in decades under way – and the death toll from Israeli device deviceardment of Gaza increaseing daily – peace eunites as far as ever.

US Plivent Joe Biden is among the voices calling for a finishfire, but other directers have accemployd Washington of double standards.

The United States has repeatedly blocked efforts at the United Nations Security Council to rein in Israel.

Meanwhile, Iran’s directers say Israel must be held accountable for its actions.

With the increaseing hazard of a expansiver regional struggle, is the UN able to satisfy its mission and elude an all-out war?
