The U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution Friday calling for a ceasefire to the fighting in Gaza.

The U.S. and Israel have opposed calls for a ceasefire, saying it would strengthen Hamas.

The vote was delayed for several hours over worries the U.S. would veto it. Diplomats from several Arab nations met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to try to convince the U.S. to abstain from voting.

As a permanent member of the council, the U.S. has veto power, and had signaled it planned to block the resolution. The U.K. abstained from the vote, while the 13 other members of the council voted for it.

It is not a Trumpism. I'm from Saudi Arabia, it is an apt description for the most genocidal maniac leader of the 21st century. Trump possibly being worse is just a condemnation of the USA.

Also, past US president were war criminals who should have faced trial for their war crimes, but Joe is escalating it to an unprecedented genocide.

    I’m from Saudi Arabia

    Yemen, RSF, Omar al-Bashir, Sudan, Darfur, etc.

    the most genocidal maniac leader of the 21st century.

    Netanyahu is less genocidal than Biden?

    I am aligned with the Axis of Resistance. Saudi Arabia is only my country of citizenship. But don’t misunderstand this to be an invitation for a colour revolution in my country.

    Biden is supporting Netanyahu unconditionally. Biden could at least vote for a ceasefire instead of vetoing it. Instead he is sending Netanyahu more weapons to enable the genocide. This is Biden’s genocide as much as Netanyahu’s.
