Russia, China Veto U.S. Resolution at U.N. for Gaza Cease-Fire.

A U.S.-sponsored resolution calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was vetoed by Russia and China at the United Nations Security Council. The resolution aimed to increase pressure on Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement that would lead to the release of hostages and allow more aid to flow into Gaza. Russia, China, and Algeria voted against the resolution, stating that it did not go far enough in demanding an end to the fighting. The vote took place amidst ongoing negotiations to free Israeli hostages and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. [Extracted from the article]
