Russia and China veto US-led UN resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire

Russia and have vetoed a U.S. draft resolution in the calling for an 'immediate and sustained' ceasefire in Gaza.

The resolution called for the halt in hostilities for roughly six weeks to protect civilians and allow for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said it was exceedingly politicized and contained an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Rafah.
