The U.S. vetoed a United Nations Security Council draft resolution that would have demanded an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and full humanitarian aid access to the enclave, underscoring the widening diplomatic division between the Trump administration and key allies.
The resolution, drafted by the council's 10 non-permanent members, received 14 votes in favor, with the U.S. casting the lone vote against it on Thursday. It was the seventh time since the conflict began in October 2023 that the U.S. has used its veto power to block a Security Council resolution related to the war.
