U.S. Vetoes UN Ceasefire Resolution
The United States on Tuesday vetoed an Algerian-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the Biden administration is playing both sides of the fence. The veto is appreciated, but at the same time the U.S. continues to call for the establishment of a P.A. state which would be a win for Hamas, while also voicing concern over a necessary military operation in Rafah. Israel insists that it will continue full steam ahead until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are brought home.
