US vetoes another UN Security Council resolution seeking Gaza ceasefire - eviltoast

The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday’s measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

    Well in that case I guess you’ll be glad to know that a one-state solution seems to be on the horizon–where Israel is the one state that controls the region.

    Not my preference, but I don’t make the rules.
