It doesn't work that way. You can't ask for a pause once Article 51 is invoked, and it was. It's not up to the US to write proper declarations for others. I don't see them denying anything, they in essence vetoed it.

Your crybully appeals to procedure are deeply unserious. The US have obviously vetoed a humanitarian measure intended to help over a million civilians.

I know that's what you want to promote, but that's not what the ambassador said.

What I'm "promoting" is the analysis provided by top humanitarian organisations:

'"Once again the U.S. cynically used their veto to prevent the U.N. Security Council from acting on Israel and Palestine at a time of unprecedented carnage," said Human Rights Watch'

What you are promoting is pure spin. You cannot possibly be so naive, so you must be deliberately obtuse.

Rather than your spin, I actually read the article. Saw what was quoted, pointing out what it meant.
