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.
