💨 Abstract

At the U.N., the U.S. vetoed a Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, citing the absence of hostage release conditions and condemnation of Hamas. 14 other members supported it, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis. China, while voting for the ceasefire, said that this resolution would have undermined Israel's security and diplomatic efforts. Pakistan's ambassador condemned the U.S. veto. Hamas has refused amendments to a U.S.
