US veto not off table as UN Security Council vote looms

The hold-up has quite frankly been the United States. The US is clearly not satisfied with the original draft resolution that was circulated on Friday, which called for a "cessation of hostilities." The wording was requested to be changed, and it was altered to "suspension of hostilities," indicating a less permanent term. Behind closed doors, it has been the US that is believed to have continued to request changes and modifications.
