The United States vetoed a U.N. resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the war in Gaza, prioritizing the immediate release of hostages taken by Hamas.
The U.N. Security Council, in a 14-1 vote, approved a resolution for an unconditional cease-fire, but it was blocked by the U.S. veto.
The resolution, which called for respect from all parties for an immediate cease-fire and the release of hostages, was backed by the 10 elected council members.
While the elected members of the U.N. Security Council lack veto power, their majority vote reflects significant international support for a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict.
