The U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution Friday calling for a ceasefire to the fighting in Gaza.

The U.S. and Israel have opposed calls for a ceasefire, saying it would strengthen Hamas.

The vote was delayed for several hours over worries the U.S. would veto it. Diplomats from several Arab nations met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to try to convince the U.S. to abstain from voting.

As a permanent member of the council, the U.S. has veto power, and had signaled it planned to block the resolution. The U.K. abstained from the vote, while the 13 other members of the council voted for it.

10x genocide?

He would let the Palestinian people die and start wars with other countries to distract the rest of us

Biden is already not only letting thousands of Palestinians die but he is sending Israel the weapons to kill them with.

Also Biden is already dragging the US into further wars in my region. If Trump was going to start new wars he would have already done so. People forget that Biden played a role in Bush’s invasion of Iraq and Obama’s drone strikes on hospitals.

start wars with other countries to distract the rest of us

biden would NEVER expand nato, he would also NEVER block negotiations in ukraine, just like he would NEVER keep escalating tensions with china over taiwan
