"Netanyahu's Fury, Gaza Devastation, and U.N. Ceasefire Vote: The Latest Updates"

The United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after the United States abstained from the vote, prompting Israel to cancel a high-level delegation's visit to Washington. The abstention signals a growing divide between the U.S. and Israel's right-wing government, with U.S. lawmakers expressing impatience with Israel's conduct in the war. The cancelled visit was set to discuss Israel's planned military operation in Gaza, and former Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben Avi sees the rift as a grave threat to Israel's security, blaming Prime Minister Netanyahu for the deteriorating relationship.
