US Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution Amid Gaza Conflict
TL;DR Summary
The United States has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, arguing it would embolden Hamas. The resolution, supported by 14 of the 15 council members, also demanded the release of hostages and humanitarian aid access. The US insists on linking a ceasefire to hostage release, while Israel's ambassador supported the veto, claiming the resolution would lead to more violence. The conflict, sparked by a Hamas attack on Israel, has resulted in significant civilian casualties and displacement in Gaza. The US has previously used its veto power to block similar resolutions.
