US block on Israel-Hamas resolution a 'failure' for UN Security Council The US on Wednesday blocked a UN Security Council resolution condemning Hamas’s attacks on Israel and urging humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. The US said it vetoed the resolution to enable President Joe Biden's diplomacy in the Middle East, but doing so dashed the hopes of other council members. "This is seen by many here as a failure of the UN Security [council] to fulfil its mandate to ensure peace and security across the world," said FRANCE 24's Jessica Le Masurier, in New York.
