The U.S. vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza and unrestricted humanitarian aid access, citing the need to condemn Hamas and ensure their disarmament. The veto comes amid escalating violence and a worsening humanitarian crisis
The United States exercised its veto power to block a draft resolution in the U.N. Security Council that called for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza, as well as unhindered humanitarian aid access to the embattled territory. The resolution was supported by the other 14 members of the council.
The vote took place as Gaza faces a dire humanitarian crisis, with more than two million residents at risk of famine and only limited aid reaching the enclave following Israel’s 11-week blockade, which was lifted last month.
Acting U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Dorothy Shea, explained the U.S. stance before the vote, emphasizing that Washington would not back any measure that fails to condemn Hamas or call for its disarmament and departure from Gaza. She warned that the resolution could undermine ongoing U.S.-led efforts to broker a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the conflict has intensified after Israel ended a two-month truce in March. Gaza’s health authorities reported 45 deaths from Israeli strikes on Wednesday, while Israel announced the death of a soldier during fighting.
