US vetoes UN cease-fire resolution for Gaza over hostage link requirement

abcnews.go.com — November 20, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

The United States vetoed a U.N. resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, stating it should be linked to the release of hostages taken by Hamas. The resolution had support from 14 of the 15 Security Council members. The resolution aimed for an unconditional cease-fire and immediate humanitarian aid access in Gaza, where over 43,000 Palestinians have died. The U.S. deputy ambassador expressed regret over the veto, emphasizing the need to address the hostage situation. Criticism followed the U.S. veto, with some council members calling it a failure to act on the humanitarian crisis. Algeria's U.N. Ambassador condemned the decision, promising to propose a stronger resolution in the future.
