US Vetoes UN Security Council Resolution For An Immediate Humanitarian Cease-Fire In Gaza

 

Politico: US vetoes Israel ceasefire resolution at the UN  

The resolution was a top priority for U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who urged members to demand an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. 

The United States vetoed a resolution at the United Nations Security Council Friday demanding an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, as civilian casualties rise amid Israel’s military campaign against the Palestinian militant group Hamas. 

The resolution, introduced by the United Arab Emirates, was a priority for U.N. Security General Antonio Guterres, who invoked Article 99 of the U.N. Charter to bring the issue to the immediate attention of the Security Council. Guterres had urged member states to demand an immediate cease-fire in light of an impending “humanitarian catastrophe” in the Gaza Strip.
