US vetoes UNSC resolution on Gaza cease-fire

The United States has vetoed four UN Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza since Israel's war began. The resolutions were put forward by the council's 10 non-permanent members, with the US being the only country to vote against them. The resolutions called for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, but the US opposed them, citing concerns over the release of hostages taken by Hamas militants. The US has instead pursued a diplomatic solution, seeking a durable end to the war that includes the release of the hostages.
