U.S. Vetoes Gaza Cease-Fire Resolution Amid Escalating Conflict

The United States vetoed a resolution at the United Nations Security Council calling for a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The resolution, which was backed by Arab states, had 13 votes in favor and one against, with the United Kingdom abstaining. The U.S. deputy representative to the U.N., Robert Wood, stated that the resolution was rushed and overlooked U.S. diplomatic efforts to increase aid to Gaza and free hostages taken by Hamas militants.

The resolution was initially proposed by the United Arab Emirates and supported by over 90 Member States. It expressed grave concern over the catastrophic situation in Gaza and emphasized the need to protect both Palestinian and Israeli civilians. The resolution demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, highlighting the dire conditions for the effective delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

The UN has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, with the territory on the brink of collapse. UN agencies are struggling to operate, and the situation is described as untenable. Over 130 employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) have been killed, and 70% of staff are displaced and lacking basic necessities. The health ministry in Gaza reports over 17,000 Palestinian deaths, with 70% of those killed being women and children.

Following the U.S. veto, Israel intensified its attacks on Gaza, resulting in a significant number of casualties and displaced residents. The ongoing violence and the challenges faced by the people of Gaza continue to escalate.
