US Vetoes UN Security Council Resolution on Gaza for Sixth Time

The blocking of this resolution by the Trump administration should come as no surprise. Not only did the resolution fail to condemn Hamas or defend Israel's right to defend itself, it legitimizes false narratives that only benefit Hamas. For instance, an immediate ceasefire without Hamas' surrender would only embolden the terror group to launch another October 7. All this was communicated to council members ahead of the vote but they chose to move forward in this performative action.
