Result of the UN Security Council vote for a Ceasefire in Gaza proposed by tte UAE.
Against it: 1 vote (USA)
For it: 13 votes
Abstentions:1 vote (UK)
The US vetoed a UN security council resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
The vote on the draft resolution put forward by the United Arab Emirates underscored the US and Israel’s growing diplomatic isolation, as the Israel Defense Forces continue to press the military effort against Hamas in southern Gaza.
Thirteen security council members voted in favour of the resolution. The UK abstained.
Speaking after the vote, US deputy ambassador to the UN Robert Wood said Washington could not support an unconditional ceasefire, which would only benefit Hamas.
“This is not only unrealistic but dangerous, it would simply leave Hamas in place, able to regroup and repeat what it did on October 7,” Wood said, adding it would “only plant the seeds for the next war”.

The genocide happening in Gaza is not acceptable, kids are dying, for absolutely no reason. If you have seen pictures online of people with their limbs falling off, it's easy to see who's in the right and who's in the wrong. The people in Gaza are getting mercilessly bombed. Even if Hamas is hiding in Gaza, why would you bomb civilians, hospitals, schools, churches, mosques, etc.? This is not a self-defence solution from Israel, it's an ethnic cleansing and genocide to the people of Palestine.
