US Vetoes UN Resolution for Gaza Ceasefire

The United States blocks a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns over conditions for hostage release.

• The US was the sole member of the UN Security Council to veto the resolution, which was supported by all other members.
• The resolution, proposed by non-permanent members, called for an unconditional and immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages.
• US objections centered on the lack of linkage between the ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages.
• Diplomats expressed frustration with the US stance, believing it hindered pressure on Israel's government.
• The veto marks the fourth time the US has blocked resolutions related to ceasefires in Gaza since the conflict's escalation.
