The United States has vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza because it’s not linked to the release of hostages.

The U.S. vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution on Wednesday that called for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.” The resolution was cosponsored by the U.N.’s E10, a group of ten non-permanent members of the Security Council.

The Security Council resolution also sought the release of all the hostages and the resumption of full-scale aid deliveries.
