The United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war against Hamas on Tuesday at the United Nations, as officials maintain their support for a short-term agreement.
“We are eager to continue working with the [U.N. Security] Council on this proposal — one that would see a temporary ceasefire as soon as practicable, based on the formula of all hostages being released, and one that would get aid into the hands of those Palestinians who so desperately need it,” U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas Greenfield said Tuesday.
