US vetoes UN resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire

dawn.com — November 21, 2024, 08:01 AM UTC

The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Wednesday that called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. This marks another instance of the U.S. blocking international efforts to halt the ongoing conflict, which has lasted 13 months. The resolution, supported by 10 non-permanent council members, also demanded the release of Israeli prisoners. The U.S. argued that it would only back a resolution that included this condition, while critics claimed the veto undermined efforts for peace. China criticized the U.S. for setting preconditions, suggesting it allows the conflict to continue. The U.S. has previously abstained from votes on Gaza but has consistently provided support to Israel during the conflict.
