The United States on Wednesday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the war in Gaza because it was not linked to an immediate release of hostages taken captive by Hamas militants in Israel in October 2023.
US vetoes UN resolution demanding a cease-fire in Gaza because there's no link to a hostage release

The council voted overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution - 14 of its 15 members Voted "yes" including U.S. allies Britain and France - but it was doomed by the veto.

U.S. Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood said the United States worked for weeks to avoid a veto of the resolution sponsored by the council's 10 elected members, and expressed regret that compromise language was not accepted.
