US says it opposes UN calling for cease-fire in Israel-Gaza conflict

The United States said Wednesday it opposes a proposed UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in the conflict between Israel and Gaza s Hamas rulers, reiterating that it could interfere with the Biden administration s efforts to end the hostilities. France drafted the resolution after the US blocked at least four attempts to have the council issue a press statement calling for an end to the violence, giving the same reason. Diplomats said all other council members supported the statement. A press statement requires agreement by all 15 council members, but a resolution requires only at least nine yes votes and no veto by the United States or any of the four other permanent members.
