Secretary of State Antony Blinken calls on Israeli PM Netanyahu for an "immediate, sustained ceasefire" in Gaza.
Quick Glance: US Fails Resolution for Immediate Cease-Fire in Gaza
- A U.S. effort to increase political pressure on Israel failed in the UN Security Council as Russia and China vetoed it.
- The resolution emphasized concerns about a ground offensive in Rafah and criticized the humanitarian toll of Israel's offensive.
- However, the resolution linked a cease-fire to the release of hostages in Gaza, a stance supported by Israel.
- US officials aim to persuade Israel for an alternative approach in Rafah to minimize civilian casualties, as a summit in Washington is planned.

Quick Glance: Russia and China Veto US Cease-Fire Resolution
- Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution on Friday calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid for over 2 million hungry Palestinians.
- The resolution reflected a shift in U.S. stance, diverging from much of the world's push for an unconditional end to the fighting.
- While the resolution would have been officially binding, it would not have stopped the fighting or released hostages, but it would have increased pressure on Israel as its closest ally aligns more with global calls for a cease-fire.
- The Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.

- Netanyahu denies a dilemma, aiming to destroy Hamas and free the hostages, but a compromise could mean a militant victory.
- Hamas holds hostages as bargaining chips, while Israel is torn between the captives and military success.
- A potential solution involves Israel releasing hostages in exchange for a Gaza withdrawal, with Hamas retaining control and potentially celebrating a costly victory.
