flag U.S. vetoes UN resolution for Gaza ceasefire, hostages, and aid access, citing insufficient condemnation of Hamas.

flag The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages, and the lifting of aid restrictions, despite support from all 14 other members. flag The resolution described the humanitarian situation as "catastrophic" and urged Israel to allow full aid access to Gaza’s 2.1 million Palestinians. flag The U.S. opposed the measure, arguing it did not sufficiently condemn Hamas and failed to recognize Israel’s right to self-defense. flag This marks the sixth time the U.S. has blocked such a resolution since the conflict began, deepening its diplomatic isolation on the global stage.
