Summary
The US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, emphasizing the need for hostages' release by Hamas. Contrarily, 14 out of 15 council members supported the resolution. In a related development, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his former defense minister, accusing them of war crimes as Gaza's death toll surpasses 44,000. Critics, including diplomats from China and France, condemned the US veto, linking it to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where aid is severely restricted.
