The United States uses the veto vote to oppose the Gaza ceasefire bill

The action of the United States has once again hindered international efforts to stop the brutal killings carried out by the illegal Israeli regime against the residents of the Gaza Strip. The draft resolution of the United Nations was supported by 13 out of 15 members of the Security Council. Britain, which is another permanent member of the Security Council, abstained from voting. Robert Wood, the US Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, has criticized the council after the vote, claiming that it has failed to condemn the attack by Hamas in Israel as well as recognize Israel's right to defend itself. Likewise, he has claimed that, supposedly, the ceasefire will provide an opening for Hamas to continue to rule the Gaza area and carry out other terrorist attacks. More than 16,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel's illegal occupation began in the Gaza Strip. The United States opposes the draft resolution to end the war in Gaza despite several warnings and warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO) that the situation in the Gaza Strip is getting worse. The action of the United States comes just one day, which in an unusual step, Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, used the authority given to him legally through Article 99 of the Charter of the United Nations to pressure the Security Council of the United Nations to quickly initiate a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. That article, which has been used only 9 times in the entire history of the United Nations, allows the secretary general of the union to invite members of the Security Council to an emergency meeting and ask them to take urgent measures to deal with what he feels threatens "security and peace of the world."
