Do not discount the veto at the UN of the UK and France. Part of the current situation with Israel rests on those two countries colluding with Israel for a war the other three did not want.


In the past yes, but right now UK and France have not used the veto for over 30 years; while the Biden administration (just because those are the numbers I found most easily) has already used it over ten times on Israel-Palestine relationships.

China also used it a lot more sparingly than Russia and the United States, I must say, but probably that's also because some China issues don't even reach the Security Council.
