US Vetoes UN Gaza Ceasefire Resolution for Sixth Time Amid Escalating Conflict

The United States has cast its sixth veto at the UN Security Council concerning a resolution aimed at establishing a ceasefire in Gaza, despite a surge in humanitarian concerns and a rising death toll exceeding 65,000. This latest veto has drawn widespread criticism, with reports indicating that nearly 480,000 Palestinians have been displaced from Gaza City since late August. The US justified its veto by asserting that the proposed resolution would legitimize narratives favorable to Hamas and failed to address broader security concerns. Meanwhile, nations including Algeria have voiced alarm over the potential for further humanitarian crises, warning that the continued blocking of ceasefire efforts risks significant loss of life. As calls for immediate aid access and the release of hostages are overshadowed by political maneuvering, the situation on the ground remains dire, prompting calls for renewed international action.
