US EditionUS vetoes UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate Gaza ceasefire
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 4 – The US vetoed a nearly unanimous UN Security Council resolution demanding a Gaza ceasefire, citing the need to blame Hamas and call for its disarmament and hostage release.
- The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during a February 24, 2025 meeting in New York where 14 members voted in favor and the US alone opposed it.
- The veto followed US objections that the rushed resolution would strengthen Hamas, fail to condemn it, undermine ongoing ceasefire talks, and support the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
- The resolution, introduced by ten non-permanent members, legally demanded ceasefire, release of Israeli hostages, and lifting of aid restrictions for 2.1 million people in Gaza amid worsening humanitarian conditions.
- US envoy Dorothy Shea warned that Washington’s decision to oppose the resolution should come as no surprise, while Israel’s ambassador Danon criticized the move as benefiting Hamas and substantially encouraging terrorism, highlighting the sharp disagreements.
- The veto deepens international frustration, isolates the US, risks jeopardizing aid delivery, and may embolden Hamas, as diplomats warn rejection encourages further terrorism and undermines humanitarian relief efforts.
