0:00 / 0:46

The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and hostage release. The resolution, supported by 14 other members, cited the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and called for Israel to lift aid restrictions. The U.S. argued the resolution insufficiently condemned Hamas and failed to recognize Israel's right to self-defense. This veto further isolates the U.S. and Israel, particularly ahead of the UN General Assembly where Gaza will be a central topic. The resolution linked a ceasefire to hostage release, a point of contention for the U.S. Despite the veto, several nations voiced strong support for the resolution and condemned the ongoing conflict.

The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
