Israel-Gaza latest news: UN Security Council to vote on Gaza ceasefire resolution - BBC News - eviltoast

The US representative at the UN, Robert Wood, has said that they wouldn’t support an immediate ceasefire.

“While the United States strongly supports a durable peace, in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security, we do not support calls for an immediate ceasefire.”

“This would only plant the seeds for the next war because Hamas has no desire to see a durable peace,” he told the UN Security Council.

The US is one of the permanent members which has the right to veto resolution.
