US vetoes UN reso on Israel war

The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday calling for a “humanitarian pause” in the raging Israel-Hamas conflict as the text did not recognize Israel’s right to defend itself, the US ambassador said.

“The United States is disappointed this resolution made no mention of Israel’s rights of self-defense,” US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said after the vote. Addressing the Security Council, Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour warned that “killing more Palestinians will never make Israel safer.”

The Foreign Ministry of Brazil, which this month holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council, likewise said it regretted the blocking of the vote. AFP That resolution did not single out Hamas for its surprise attack on Israel on October 7, and it was rejected by permanent members the United States, the United Kingdom and France, as well as Japan.
