US Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution for Gaza, Citing Hamas Accountability

The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on November 5th, 2025, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution, which garnered 14 votes in favor and 0 abstentions, failed to meet US demands for Hamas disarmament and condemnation of their October 7th attack on Israel. The US Ambassador stated, "This resolution failed to address the root causes of the conflict and did not hold Hamas accountable for their actions." The veto highlights the ongoing tensions and disagreements within the international community regarding the conflict in Gaza. The lack of a ceasefire resolution raises concerns about the humanitarian situation and the potential for further escalation. The international community continues to search for a solution that addresses both the immediate humanitarian needs and the long-term security concerns of all parties involved.
