4:30Now PlayingThe United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an Israel-Hamas cease-fire on Wednesday morning, citing its failure to condition a halt in hostilities directly to the release of the hostages, whom Hamas continues to hold in the Gaza Strip.
“We could not support an unconditional cease-fire that failed to release the hostages,” Robert Wood, deputy U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told the council.
