YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe US has once again vetoed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, with America pushing its own proposal that would see a hostage-exchange deal secured first.
For the third time since the war began, the US opposed Tuesday’s resolution that had been approved by 13 other council members, with Britain abstaining. The council has 15 members, of which the US is one of five with unilateral veto powers.
