US vetoes UNSC resolution: Draft text called for immediate ceasefire

The United States once again vetoing a draft resolution on Gaza at the UN Security Council. It’s a move that’s being condemned as "reckless and dangerous" and a ‘green light for more massacres’. The text put forward by Algeria called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and had 13 members voting in favour. The US was the only country to vote against it – it’s third veto since the start of the war.
