US has drafted a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and
On Thursday (September 18, 2025), the United States, using its right and power, rejected a draft United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, and unrestricted access to humanitarian aid to the region.
This resolution, proposed by 10 non-permanent members of the Security Council, received 14 votes in favor, but was defeated in the United States.
Morgan Ortagus, the US special representative for the Middle East, defended the veto, saying that the resolution did not sufficiently condemn Hamas and could undermine Israel’s security.
In response, the Israeli representative to the United Nations thanked his American counterpart, and a video of this moment was published on social media, showing the Zionist representative’s gratitude to the United States.
This and you occurred as the Israeli regime expanded its ground operations in Gaza City, and the United Nations warned that these actions could disrupt vital aid lines.
