The United States blocked a draft UN Security Council statement on Saturday expressing “grave concern at the situation on the border” following the ‘Land Day’ protest march in which some 30,000 protestors violently rioted at the Israel-Gaza border. Israeli forces killed as many as 17 armed protestors during the riots.
According to the AFP, the draft council statement presented by Kuwait called for an “independent and transparent investigation of the violence,” and “called upon all sides to exercise restraint and prevent a further escalation.” The draft also referred to the Palestinian “right to peaceful protest” and expressed “sorrow at the loss of innocent Palestinian lives.”
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Saturday for “those concerned to refrain from any act that could lead to further casualties.”
In response to the calls for inquiry, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman explained that the “attempt to break through the fence” was specifically carried out to “harm our sovereignty.”
“Any state whose borders people tried to crash would act in an even more severe way than we did, and therefore the procession of hypocrites calling for a committee of inquiry must understand that there will be no such thing,” Lieberman stated. “There will not be any international inquiry. We will not cooperate with any inquiry of this kind.”
On Saturday night, the IDF posted the names and photos of 10 of the protesters killed, identifying them as members of known terrorist organizations. IDF spokeswoman Keren Hajiott, released a video statement on Facebook summarizing the riot and Israel’s response, stating that “the IDF has an obligation to protect the citizens of Israel, which is exactly what we did.”

在“土地日”示威游行之后，美国在周六阻止了联合国安理会声明草案，表示“严重关切边界局势”，大约3万名抗议者在以色列 – 加沙边境发生暴力骚乱。在骚乱期间，以色列部队杀害了多达17名武装示威者。
据法新社报道，科威特提交的理事会声明草案要求对暴力事件进行“独立和透明的调查”，并“呼吁所有各方保持克制，防止进一步升级”。该草案还提到了巴勒斯坦的“右派以和平抗议“，并表示”对无辜巴勒斯坦人丧生感到悲痛“。
联合国秘书长安东尼奥古特雷斯星期六呼吁“有关方面不要采取任何可能导致更多人员伤亡的行为”。
针对询问的要求，以色列国防部长阿维格多利伯曼解释说，“企图突破围墙”是专门为“损害我们的主权”而进行的。
“任何一个国家的边界人试图崩溃的行为将会比我们的行为更加严重，因此，伪君子们的队伍要求调查委员会必须明白，不会有这样的事情，”利伯曼说。 “不会有任何国际调查。 我们不会配合任何此类询问。“
星期六晚上，以色列国防军张贴了10名杀害示威者的名字和照片，将他们确定为已知恐怖组织的成员。 以色列国防军发言人Keren Hajiott在Facebook上发布了一份视频声明，总结了骚乱和以色列的反应，指出“以色列国防军有义务保护以色列公民，这正是我们所做的。”
