"US Faces Pressure Over Israel-Hamas Cease-Fire Veto Amid 'Frank' Talks"
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a "frank exchange" with Brazilian President Lula after Lula's controversial remarks about the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to Israel declaring Lula persona non grata. Meanwhile, UK and Jordan have sent aid to a hospital in northern Gaza, and China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia condemned the US veto on a UN Security Council resolution calling for a Gaza cease-fire. The G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Brazil is expected to address the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, with Brazilian President Lula criticizing the UN's handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Additionally, Doctors Without Borders reported two deaths in an Israeli strike on a staff shelter in Gaza, and Syria claimed two deaths in an Israeli rocket strike in Damascus.
