US vetoes UN Security Council resolution on Gaza ceasefire

The United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution on Wednesday that called for an "immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire" in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The resolution, proposed by 10 non-permanent council members, also demanded the release of hostages. The U.S. opposed the resolution, citing its refusal to support a ceasefire without a clear call for the immediate release of hostages.
