This marks the fifth time since October 2023 that Washington has prevented such a measure from advancing amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza.

The resolution called for an “immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire” while also urging the release of captives currently held by Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip.

Despite 14 member states voting in favor, the US, as a permanent member of the Council, exercised its veto to nullify the resolution.
