U.S. threatens to block a new vote in the Security Council on a truce.
Washington has already threatened a veto as during previous votes in mid-October and early December. The draft resolution "refuses the forced displacement of the Palestinian civilian population" and once again calls for the release of all hostages taken to Gaza during the October 7 attack. Negotiations have “not been very promising in recent days,” Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdelrahmane al-Thani said in Munich.
