The United States exercises its veto at the UN Security Council to block a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Paralel.Az reports citing The Times of Israel.

Thirteen members of the council vote in favor of the motion, while the United Kingdom abstains.

Robert Wood, the U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the UN, emphasized that resolving the conflict is not as simple as snapping fingers. The situation is exceedingly complicated, and their approach is focused on finding the most effective way to end the conflict swiftly, as he stated before the vote.
