Jurist US vetoes UN Security Council Gaza ceasefire resolution — developing story

[Dadparvar]

The United States has vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution put forth by Algeria calling for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas War on Tuesday. Explaining the veto, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said:

Demanding an immediate, unconditional ceasefire without an agreement requiring Hamas to release the hostages will not bring about a durable peace. Instead, it could extend the fighting between Hamas and Israel, extend the hostages’ time in captivity, an experience described by former hostages as ‘hell,’ and extend the dire humanitarian crisis Palestinians are facing in Gaza.

The US proposed its own draft resolution on Monday which affirmed “its support for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as practicable, based on the formula of all hostages being released.”

This is a developing story.
