Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored U.N. resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, deeming the wording too ambiguous. The U.S. faced criticism for its stance on the conflict, which has led to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The vote showcased global divisions on the issue, with the U.S. focusing on a resolution tying a cease-fire to demands regarding Israeli hostages. The Security Council’s 15 members showed discrepancies in their approaches to resolving the conflict. Efforts continue to address the dire situation in Gaza and negotiate a lasting cease-fire.
