US Vetoes UN Gaza Ceasefire Resolution Amid Hostage Concerns

The United States has vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, marking the fourth time it has done so during the current conflict to support Israel. The resolution, supported by 14 of the 15 Council members, also demanded the unconditional release of hostages and rejected efforts to starve Palestinians. The US argued that the resolution failed to link a ceasefire with the release of hostages, potentially sending a dangerous message to Hamas. The veto has drawn criticism from other nations and human rights organizations, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

US Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution Amid Gaza Conflict

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.

"Netanyahu's US Relations Under Scrutiny After UN Cease-Fire Vote"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of relations with the Biden administration has come under sharp criticism from Israeli commentators following the US decision to abstain from vetoing a UN security council ceasefire resolution. Critics have condemned Netanyahu's growing friction with US President Joe Biden, with some calling for his resignation. The US abstention is seen as a sign of strained relations and may lead to further sanctions and restrictions on arms transfers to Israel. The move reflects deep disagreements over the situation in Gaza and Israel's announcements of new settlements, signaling a shift in the White House's approach to managing Israeli actions.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested cutting off aid to Israel after the U.S. vetoed a United Nations ceasefire resolution, criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response to the conflict with Hamas and calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Her comments have highlighted the divide within the Democratic Party over Israel's treatment of Palestinians, with progressives advocating for a shift in U.S. support.

"Chicago City Council Passes Resolution Supporting Gaza Ceasefire Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Chicago City Council narrowly passed a resolution calling for an unconditional ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Mayor Brandon Johnson's tiebreaker vote lifting the measure to 24 yays and 23 nays. The resolution, sponsored by 1st Ward Ald. Daniel LaSpata, calls on Congress and the president to facilitate a lasting peace in Gaza starting with a permanent ceasefire. The measure was supported by pro-Palestinian groups and some Jewish groups, but denounced by other mainstream Jewish groups and the Israeli Consulate in Chicago. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a weeklong November ceasefire and negotiations for a two-month ceasefire and the release of hostages, but gaps between the two sides remain wide.
