The US has vetoed a resolution at the UN demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after proposing its own draft urging a temporary ceasefire.
Washington said the Algerian-proposed resolution would "jeopardise" talks to end the war.
In its own resolution the US warned Israel not to invade the city of Rafah.
The US has previously avoided the word "ceasefire" during UN votes on the war, but President Joe Biden has recently made similar comments.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Washington's ambassador to the UN, said it was not the right time to call for an immediate ceasefire while negotiations between Hamas and Israel were continuing.
Thirteen countries on the 15-member body backed Algeria's resolution, while the UK abstained.
