US Vetoes UN Resolution on Gaza Ceasefire

The United States has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The resolution, which was supported by the other 14 members of the Council, urged both Israel and Hamas to cease hostilities and return to negotiations. However, the US, a close ally of Israel, rejected the measure, arguing that it did not address the root causes of the violence. The decision highlights the continued divide within the international community over the best approach to resolving the long-standing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. While many countries have condemned the loss of civilian life in Gaza, the US has maintained its unwavering support for Israel's right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas. The veto is likely to further strain relations between the US and its allies, who have called for a more balanced and impartial approach to the conflict.
