The United States has vetoed another United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, rejecting calls for an immediate cease-fire.
The U.S. has proposed its own draft, which it says would support delicate diplomacy toward releasing hostages taken in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel.
The draft resolution that Algeria proposed would have demanded an immediate humanitarian cease-fire.
The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13 in favor and the United States against. The United Kingdom abstained.
The resolution came after more than four months of war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza and whose attack in Israel killed 1,200 people, according to Israel's government. Israel's military offensive since then has killed more than 29,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Backed by many other countries, Arab nations have been demanding a cease-fire for months.

How many divisions does the U.N. have?
Why not a demand for Hamas to disarm?
Every time the UN brings this up the US should deduct 10% from their yearly payment to the UN
The islamofascists in the Demonrat Party are going to flip out.
I guarantee Linda Thomas Greenfield isn’t taking orders from Uncle Joe.
It's an election year, that is all.
Good luck in 2025, whether it's Biden (it won't be) or the Obamas.
how many resolutions now? “They Really Really Mean it this time!”
Have the pro Hamas protesters arrived at the UN?
Trying to save their terrorist buddies funded by the UN from annihilation
At some point the Israelis are going to stand up and say the obvious - here is what Hamas and the Palestinians did to us, here is what they want to do to us, and here is what we are going to do to stop it, in God’s NAME..in other words, make all the resolutions you want, world. We are not listening until we defeat the maniacs that want to destroy our entire race.
Basically the same shaft offered by the US to Israel, but with lube.
Interesting.
St. Vladimir of Putin’s Ultimate Socialist State of Russia demands that a foreign State end a defensive war, but refuses to end its own war of aggression.
Apparently the UN approves of Hamas, from rape, murder, torture and kidnapping, to the holding of hostages to achieve terroristic objectives. Doesn’t that make the UN a terrorist organization?
U.N. Resolutions are like having a box of condoms with holes in them. Totally useless.
You’re missing a zero.
I mean — if you’re REALLY serious about stopping this crap...
Be sure this story is splashed in Michigan.
Has the U.N. ever demanded that Hamas cease its terrorism? Or even recognized killing civilians or using them as human shields “terrorism”?
Yes it does. It also makes the UN a co-belligerent against the State of Israel. Maybe it is time to close the UN as it is a threat to world peace.
