The United States has vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza because it’s not linked to the release of hostages.

The Security Council resolution also sought the release of all the hostages and the resumption of full-scale aid deliveries.

The U.S. vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution on Wednesday that called for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.” The resolution was cosponsored by the U.N.’s E10, a group of ten non-permanent members of the Security Council.
