The United States vetoed a UN resolution urging an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

The United States vetoed a United Nations resolution advocating for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, aligning with its support for Israel. However, this action comes amidst growing American discontent with Israel's actions in the conflict. The US had previously indicated its plan to veto the Algerian resolution but has become more vocal in its criticism of Israel's conduct. On Monday, it introduced its own Security Council draft resolution, which notably urges a "temporary ceasefire" and explicitly cautions Israel against launching an offensive in Rafah, southern Gaza.
