U.S. Vetoes U.N. Resolution for Gaza Cease-Fire
The U.S. was the only member nation to veto the U.N. Security Council resolution. The resolution also sought the release of all the hostages and the continuation of full-scale aid deliveries.
“The result of the voting is as follows: 14 votes in favor, one vote against, zero abstentions. The draft resolution has not been adopted owing, to the negative vote of a permanent member of the council.” “The United States has taken the very clear position since this conflict began that Israel has a right to defend itself, which includes defeating Hamas and ensuring they are never again in a position to threaten Israel. In this regard, any product that undermines our close ally Israel’s security is a non-starter.”
