US vetoes UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire, saying it doesn’t guarantee release of hostages

The United States has vetoed a United Nations resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, stating that it doesn't guarantee the release of hostages. This decision represents a potentially controversial stance in the ongoing conflict in the region. The US administration stands firm on its commitment to ensuring the safety and release of Israeli soldiers held as hostages, stating that no ceasefire plan can be considered comprehensive and effective without this crucial aspect being addressed. Back at the UN, efforts are ongoing to negotiate a resolution that could be acceptable to all parties involved. Further details or actions surrounding this issue remain to be seen.
