UNITED NATIONS â The United States opposes a draft U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in the conflict between Israel and Gazaâs Hamas rulers. The U.S. says it could interfere with the Biden administrationâs efforts to end the hostilities.
France drafted the resolution after the U.S. earlier blocked at least four attempts to have the council issue a press statement calling for an end to hostilities.
A press statement requires agreement by all 15 council members. A resolution only requires at least nine âyesâ votes and no veto by the United States or any of the four other permanent members.
