UN to vote on Gaza ceasefire amid US veto signal

Aftermath of an Israeli strike on a house in Rafah

The United Nations is set to vote on a potential ceasefire resolution for Gaza on Tuesday, amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Palestinians. However, the United States has indicated that it may exercise its veto power in the Security Council.

The proposed ceasefire comes in response to the recent violence that has plagued the region, with Israel launching airstrikes on Gaza in retaliation for rocket attacks by Hamas militants. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and destruction, prompting international calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities.

While many countries have expressed support for a ceasefire and are advocating for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, the US has signaled its reluctance to endorse the resolution. The US has historically been a staunch ally of Israel and has used its veto power to block similar resolutions in the past.

The potential US veto has raised concerns among other member states, who fear that it could undermine efforts to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed. The international community is closely watching the developments at the UN, hopeful for a positive outcome that will bring relief to the people caught in the crossfire of this enduring conflict.
