"U.N. Chief's Visit to Gaza Border Amid Cease-Fire Resolution Veto"

U.N. Secretary General António Guterres visited Egypt’s border with Gaza, urging for a cease-fire as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to send forces into Rafah despite international warnings. The U.N. Security Council failed to pass a U.S.-sponsored resolution for a cease-fire, leading to growing international outrage over the humanitarian catastrophe in Rafah. Aid groups warn of famine risks in Gaza as Israel faces criticism for impeding humanitarian supplies. Cease-fire talks are ongoing, while Israel's military operation in Gaza continues to provoke alarm. The Biden administration faces pressure to reject Israel's claims of not violating international law and to consider suspending arms transfers.
