The US, Russia, and China clash over Israel-Hamas war at the UN
TL;DR Summary
The United States has used its veto power at least 34 times to block UN Security Council resolutions critical of Israel, including a recent resolution on the ongoing situation in Gaza. This is in line with the US historical use of its veto power to protect Israel and prevent resolutions calling for Palestinian statehood. Since 1945, the US has vetoed 34 out of 36 UNSC draft resolutions related to Israel-Palestine. The majority of these resolutions aimed to establish peace, adhere to international laws, and address the displacement of Palestinians or settlement building in occupied territories.
