The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the UN Security Council has been divided over the Israel-Hamas war since October 7 attacks and only approved two out of eight resolutions with both dealing mainly with humanitarian aid to Gaza Strip. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that all eight previous resolutions were related to humanitarian aid when in fact they dealt with various issues such as condemning the attacks on Israel by Hamas and supporting a ceasefire agreement. Secondly, the article states that Russia and China vetoed an earlier text proposed by the United States because it stopped short of explicitly demanding Israel halt its campaign. However, this statement is also misleading as it implies that Russia and China were against any ceasefire agreement when in fact they only objected to a specific wording in the resolution. Lastly, the article states that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to go ahead with a Rafah invasion even without Washington's support. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that Israel does not care about international opinion when in fact they are seeking approval from various countries before taking any action.
