US Blocks Gaza Ceasefire Resolution at UN CouncilThe US cast its first veto since January, halting a resolution demanding unrestricted humanitarian aid and ceasefire in Gaza.
- The United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire along with unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza.
- Multiple UN representatives condemned the veto as a moral failure and political obstruction that prolongs the conflict.
- Hamas denounced the veto as sanctioning aggression and humanitarian suffering, while Israel defended its right to self-defense.
- Following the veto, Palestine intends to seek a ceasefire resolution in the UN General Assembly where vetoes do not apply.
The veto marks a new stain on the ethical record of the United States of America.— Hamas condemned the 'disgraceful' US veto, reiterating accusations of 'genocide' in Gaza.

Molotov Attack in Boulder Planned for One YearAn Egyptian national injured 12 at a pro-Israel rally using firebombs after a year-long plan, blocked from buying guns due to visa status.
- Mohamed Sabry Soliman threw Molotov cocktails at a pro-Israel event in Boulder, causing injuries to a dozen attendees.
- He spent a year planning the attack and resorted to firebombs because his immigration status prevented firearm purchases.
- Authorities charged Soliman with federal hate crimes and attempted murder, citing his intent to kill Zionists.
- Sixteen Molotov cocktails were discovered near the scene, and Soliman was held on a $10 million bail.
"In light of yesterday’s horrific attack, all terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you."— U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made this statement following the attack at a pro-Israeli rally in Boulder, Colorado.
