The United States vetoed a resolution in the U.N. Security Council calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, citing the need for Hamas negotiations.
U.S. representative Robert Wood argued that the resolution would send a dangerous message to Hamas, implying that they need not negotiate if a cease-fire is in place.
Israel's U.N. representative praised the U.S. veto, stating that the resolution would have set a horrifying precedent, suggesting that terrorism could yield rewards.
The observer state of Palestine criticized the veto, emphasizing that the world should not accept the ongoing deaths of Palestinians amid the conflict.
