Breaking News 📰: In a significant move, the United States 🇺🇸 has vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The 15-member council gathered on Wednesday to vote on a resolution introduced by its 10 non-permanent members. The proposal urged for an \"immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire\" in the Gaza Strip and separately demanded the release of hostages.
Despite widespread support, the resolution was blocked as the U.S.—one of the five permanent members with veto power—cast the sole vote against it. This action effectively prevented the resolution from being adopted.
The situation in Gaza has captured international attention, and this latest development adds a new layer to the unfolding story. 🌍✨
Stay tuned for more updates as the global community watches closely. 👀
