US EditionUS vetoes UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate Gaza ceasefire
- The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza on February 24, 2025, at UN headquarters in New York.
- The resolution, introduced by ten non-permanent members, faced US opposition citing rushed negotiations, lack of condemnation of Hamas, and concerns the text would strengthen the terror group.
- All 14 other Council members supported the resolution, while the United States, through acting Ambassador Dorothy Shea, opposed it, arguing that the resolution unfairly equated Israel with Hamas and raised concerns about the UN's ability to effectively address the situation.
- The resolution would have demanded lifting restrictions on humanitarian aid to 2.1 million people in Gaza, the release of Israeli hostages, and addressed the worsening humanitarian crisis amid intensified Israeli military action.
- The US veto maintained its isolation on this issue, potentially undermining diplomatic ceasefire efforts and highlighting divisions within the Council over the Gaza conflict and humanitarian access.
