UN Gaza resolution: Why hasn't the US agreed yet and why does that seem to change now? | DW News

Another attempt by the UN Security Council to bring an end to the fighting in Gaza. There have been numerous attempts by the Council to tune down the volume of violence in Gaza since the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, carried out terror attacks on Israel on October 7th. The US has vetoed two resolutions – each time siding with Israel and its right to defend itself.

With the war almost three months old and with Hamas claiming that 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza, the UN Security Council is once again considering a resolution aimed at allowing humanitarian aid into the territory.

In the meantime, Israel has vowed to press on with its operation in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated. The Israeli military has released pictures which it says show a network of Hamas tunnels. Israel claims the network is used by the group's commanders – including those accused of planning the October 7 terror attacks.
