The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday’s measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

    This is so odd, I was told only Trump was bad for Palestine, and that he would give Israel a free pass to do whatever it wants.

      Nobody ever told you that “only” Trump was bad for Palestine.

      If you need to lie to promote your viewpoint, then your viewpoint is shit.
