US vetoes UN Security Council resolution on immediate Gaza ceasefire
NEW YORK — A UN Security Council resolution that called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of captives was vetoed by the US on Thursday, with Washington claiming that the attempt fell short in denouncing Hamas.The resolution was approved by the 14 other members of the most powerful body in the UN, which called on Israel to remove all limitations on relief deliveries to the 2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza and described the humanitarian situation there as "catastrophic."“US opposition to this resolution will come as no surprise,” Morgan Ortagus, a senior U.S. policy adviser, said before the vote.“It fails to condemn Hamas or recognise Israel’s right to defend itself, and it wrongly legitimises the false narratives benefiting Hamas,...
