- 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 Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.
