US vetoes UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate Gaza ceasefire
- The US vetoed a legally binding UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza on February 24, 2025, at UN headquarters in New York.
- The resolution was sponsored by ten non-permanent members and sought humanitarian aid access for 2.1 million people in Gaza, but the US criticized it as rushed and unjust.
- The US insisted that the resolution favored the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and could strengthen Hamas, opposing demands for hostages' release and aid lifting.
- Dorothy Shea said the resolution would undermine ceasefire talks and “draws false equivalence between Israel and Hamas,” while the vote was 14 to 1 against the US veto.
- The veto illustrated US isolation at the council amid worsening humanitarian conditions from ongoing Israeli strikes that killed at least 10 Palestinians that day.
