AMMAN, Jordan — The United States for the third time vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza on Friday as U.N. officials warned that humanitarian operations in the densely populated enclave have largely fallen apart amid Israel’s ferocious military campaign to destroy the militant Hamas network.

The council voted 13-1 to approve the measure — supporters included close U.S. allies France and Japan — but the U.S. veto ensured its failure.

US and Israel versus the world. This is why 'they' hate us.
 
The Security Council resolution Friday was introduced by the United Arab Emirates with 97 co-sponsors among the U.N. membership. The eight-paragraph resolution demanded an immediate halt to hostilities, the unconditional release of all hostages, humanitarian access and the compliance of all parties with their obligations under international law “notably with regard to the protection of civilians.”
