United States Veto UN Ceasefire Resolution for Gaza and Fumbled FAFSA Revamp
The United States vetoed a United Nations resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, believing it would disrupt negotiations to free hostages taken from Israel. This move, the third such veto since October, contrasts with the Biden administration's critical stance towards Israel's military actions and frustrations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The resolution, proposed by Algeria, received support from 13 council members, while Britain abstained. In a related development, the revamp of FAFSA applications for student aid has caused delays in college admissions for some students.
