US Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution
Countries criticized the US for abstaining from a UN vote for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza. The US, along with the UK, France, Russia, and China, can veto resolutions. The US explained that a ceasefire leaving Hamas in control of Gaza would prevent Palestinians from building a better future. Other UN members called for a ceasefire, while Turkey accused the US of opposition. The Times' Richard Spencer suggests that the US vetoed the resolution due to its strong support for Israel and concerns about psychological and geopolitical ramifications.
