13 of the Security Council’s 15 member states voted for the resolution, which was penned by Algeria. The United Kingdom abstained from voting, while the United States exercised its right of veto. Monday’s US veto of a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza was the third since October 7. – A vote in support of this draft resolution is support for the Palestinians’ right to life. By voting against it, it means that you stand up for the brutal violence and the collective punishment of them, said Algeria’s UN ambassador Amar Bendjama before the vote. The Americans have now put forward their own draft resolution, which the Reuters news agency has seen. The proposal emphasizes the Security Council’s “support for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as it is feasible”. An Israeli tank at the border with the Gaza Strip on Monday.
