United Nations (AP) A U.N. resolution calling for a quick cease-fire in the Gaza conflict was vetoed by the United States on Wednesday because it does not call for the immediate release of hostages that Hamas captured in Israel in October 2023.
The resolution, which was sponsored by the 10 elected members of the 15-member U.N. Security Council, was approved by a vote of 14-1, but the U.S. veto prevented it from being adopted.
The resolution that was presented to a vote reiterates its demand for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and calls for an immediate, unconditional, and lasting cease-fire that must be adhered to by all sides.
