U.S. Vetoes U.N. Resolution Calling for Gaza Cease-Fire

The United States said it vetoed the United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, because it did not make the cease-fire contingent on the release of the hostages held in Gaza.

We made clear throughout negotiations we could not support an unconditional cease-fire that failed to release the hostages. Because as this council has previously called for, a durable end to the war must come with the release of the hostages. These two urgent goals are inextricably linked. This resolution abandoned that necessity, and for that reason, the United States could not support it. Simply put, this resolution would have sent a dangerous message to Hamas. There’s no need to come back to the negotiating table. There are still seven American citizens in the hands of Hamas. We will not forget them. For our part, we will continue to pursue a diplomatic solution that brings peace, security and freedom to Palestinians in Gaza.
