US blocks UN call for Gaza ceasefire for sixth time

US blocks UN call for Gaza ceasefire for sixth time

The United States has blocked a United Nations Security Council call for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza for the sixth time. The U.S. representative argued that the proposed resolution did not go far enough in condemning the actions of Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. The latest attempt to secure a ceasefire came as the violence between Israel and Hamas continued, with airstrikes and rocket attacks exchanged on both sides. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians, including many children, in both Israel and Gaza. The U.S. has been a staunch ally of Israel, and its refusal to support the ceasefire resolution has drawn criticism from other members of the Security Council. The ongoing conflict has sparked international concern and calls for a diplomatic solution to end the violence.
