"UN Resolution for Gaza Cease-Fire During Ramadan Rejected by US, Russia, and China"

The U.N. Security Council is set to vote on a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, after a U.S.-sponsored resolution was vetoed by Russia and China. The resolution, backed by Russia, China, and the Arab Group, aims to halt the bloodshed and preserve human lives for the next two weeks. The U.S. warned that the resolution could hinder negotiations, raising the possibility of another veto. The vote reflects tensions between world powers and a shift in U.S. stance, as it continues to intertwine calls for a cease-fire with demands for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
