The Biden administration expressed confusion over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to cancel a high-level delegation's planned visit to Washington. This move came after the U.S. chose not to veto a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding a cease-fire in Gaza during the ongoing Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The resolution, which passed 14-0, called for an immediate cease-fire and the release of hostages taken captive during a previous Hamas attack. However, the resolution did not link the demand for hostages' release to the call for a cease-fire.
