The US vetoed a UN resolution on Wednesday demanding an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza. The other 14 members of the UN Security Council voted in favor of the resolution. The resolution, the most recent of many Gaza ceasefire resolutions to reach the Security Council, called for “an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire” and “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.” However, the US stated its opposition to the “unconditional ceasefire” which “failed to release the hostages.”

I’m really starting to wonder why the fuck one country can just veto whatever the fuck they want.
All the nuke-having countries have veto power in the security council.
Well the US definitely seems to be abusing that privilege whenever it comes to anything about Israel.
