Russia and China used their veto power against a US draft resolution in the UN Security Council regarding the war on Gaza. 11 countries voted for the resolution, while 3 countries rejected it: Russia and China, in addition to Algeria, and Guyana abstained from voting.

Opponents described the draft as politicized, ambiguous, and “frees Israel’s hand” America used its veto power in the Security Council 3 times against draft resolutions on the Israeli war onGaza. The vote came at a time when the United States is increasingly putting pressure on its ally Israel regarding Gaza.
