"Russia and China Block UN Action on Israel-Gaza Conflict"
TL;DR Summary
Russia and China have vetoed a US proposal at the United Nations Security Council calling for pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict to allow humanitarian aid access, protection of civilians, and a halt to arming militant groups in Gaza. The US draft resolution, which toned down its initial bluntness, was met with disappointment by the US ambassador. In response to the deadlock, the UN General Assembly will vote on a non-binding draft resolution put forward by Arab states on Friday. Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas, leading to a worsening humanitarian crisis and mounting civilian death toll in Gaza.
