US vetoes UN call for unconditional Gaza ceasefireUS Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea said the vote would "undermine""We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza," she said. The US Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, said the resolution would "undermine diplomatic efforts" to reach a ceasefire, adding that the UN has not labelled Hamas as a terrorist organisation. The US has vetoed the UN Security Council's draft resolution calling for an "unconditional and permanent" ceasefire in Gaza. Aid distribution has recently been taken over by The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israel and US-backed group which aims to replace UN agencies and other organisations in the region. Over the past few days, there have been a series of deadly incidents on the route to an aid distribution site in Gaza run by GHF.
