Washington/Tel Aviv/UN: The United States has vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza between the IDF and Hamas terrorists. It also called for the removal of restrictions on aid deliveries to the enclave.

“The United States has been clear we would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza,” Acting US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea told the council prior to the vote, reports Times of Israel.

“This resolution would undermine diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire that reflects the realities on the ground, and embolden Hamas,” she said, about the proposal put forward by 10 countries on the 15-member council.

The other 14 members voted in favour of the resolution introduced by 10 non-permanent members.

Thanking the US for its decision, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on his X/Twitter, “Thank you, America and Donald Trump, for once again showing our enemies that there is no daylight between us.”

“That is the only way to destroy the Hamas terrorists who are still holding 58 innocent hostages in the dungeons of Gaza. The civilised world should demand their immediate and unconditional release.”
