US blocks UN condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza.
TL;DR Summary
The US and UK blocked the United Nations Security Council from issuing a statement condemning Israel's operation in Gaza, according to Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan. The Security Council held a closed-door meeting on Thursday about the situation in Gaza, but the opposition of the US and UK, among others, meant the issue never came to a vote. The US has a strong record of supporting Israel at the UN, particularly in the Security Council. At least 16 Gazan civilians were killed, including women and children, during the recent violence.
