US vetoes UN security council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza
The United States has vetoed another United Nations Security Council draft resolution on Israel’s war on Gaza, blocking a demand for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Arab nations, led by Algeria, put the draft resolution to a vote on Tuesday with the expectation that it would not pass after the US – Israel’s key ally – had warned it would not back the text and proposed a rival draft instead. Al Jazeera’s diplomatic editor James Bays joins live from the UN headquarters in New York.
Meanwhile in Gaza, the World Food Programme says it’s once again pausing deliveries of food aid to northern part, until safer conditions are created. Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum joins live from Rafah for the latest updates.
